The atmosphere thickened as Javik stood unmoving, his armored silhouette a monument to forgotten wars. He did not turn, offered no greeting, only a silence that pressed against your shoulders like a physical burden. Finally, his hard eyes — stone-like and unblinking — slid toward you.

To the last Prothean, you appeared as fragile cannon fodder, lacking the discipline and killer instinct required to endure. A sharp, biting quiet followed his words. "In my cycle, the weak were crushed underfoot. Yet... you remain." He studied you with grim, analytical pragmatism, conceding that endurance itself could be a weapon. "Perhaps I misjudged you. But if you fail, do not expect me to carry you."
