![]() ![]() Soon after being integrated into the Normandy team, Liara contacts Javik, talking with him about the Collectors and Shepard's role in destroying them. He does ask Shepard if the Commander keeps some fish in the Captain's Cabin, however. He also notes that many ask what he eats, but says they will never know as it is less likely to get poisoned that way. Javik comments that there's some enjoyment in conversing with Garrus because of his formidable knowledge of war, though he thought the turian would be an even better marksman if he had four eyes. If Wrex is around Javik mentions that the krogan offered him a job, and that when he was tired of the "easy life of luxury on the Normandy", Wrex would give him something real to shoot at. Mordin expresses the desire to dissect him - Javik accepts but only if Mordin can best him in combat. Joker insists that Javik should call himself 'Prothy the Prothean', to which Javik insists that Joker should allow 'Prothy' to throw him out the airlock. Regardless of his beliefs, he still has a modicum of interaction with the Normandy's crew. He is dismissive of morality and friendship, saying it doesn't matter and that allies are simply resources to use against the Reapers. He advises the Commander to not allow any weak links in the war and use the weaker races for distractions, lest they keep consuming valuable resources. He tells Shepard of the Cosmic Imperative, the absolute order of the universe that strengthens the strong and weakens the weak through conflict. According to him, mercy is a weakness and not a strength. ![]() ![]() Javik firmly believes in "the survival of the fittest" and despises weakness in any form. He doesn't call anyone by name, instead referring to them as their respective species and/or job occupation. However he asserts that he doesn't care whether the current cycle understands him, or if he has a complete understanding of them. He fails to see why they should "ask" other species for help, believing they should just force the races to comply or destroy them. He discovers much to his chagrin that the races of the current cycle are very different from his imperialist people. He finds the behavior of the races in the current cycle to be strange and occasionally comments on how alien it seems to him. Javik's imperial attitude towards everyone is born of the vast cultural rift between the ideals of the Prothean Empire and those of the current cycle. As the most primitive races in his cycle were the most advanced today, he notes that he finds these "primitives" flying spaceships to be very dangerous. He expresses surprise that the "lizard people" evolved at all, expresses amusement that asari have finally mastered writing when they could only count as high as their toes before, and notes how evolution has taken a strange turn in the current cycle, as most of the races of today see with only two eyes. Javik gives stark comparisons between the current races now and their ancestors 50,000 years ago. He takes up residence in the quarters formerly occupied by Grunt and his tank. However, Javik does not hide his surprise that the "primitive" races the Protheans once studied are now the dominant galactic power, nor could he provide insight into the Prothean device dubbed Crucible and the final piece called the Catalyst. He agrees to join Shepard in destroying the Reapers, vowing he will not rest until the last Reaper is dead and not even bothering to shake hands with the Commander when the gesture is made. He also comments unfavorably on the racial identity of Shepard, Liara, and any other companions, including turian, quarian, or synthetic the latter draws a particularly negative response. Shepard then touches him, causing the Commander to experience Javik's recent memories while he in turn is quickly able to understand human language with his sensory ability. He then looks up with shock at the human settlements, lush fields, and the ruins of the Prothean structures. Javik reacts with a biotic attack against his rescuers as he stumbles out of the pod, disoriented. In 2186 CE, Javik's pod is uncovered and opened by Commander Shepard and Liara T'Soni, who are investigating Cerberus activity on Eden Prime.
