 There he is and then is he stylish so sad to see the proteins for unfortunate Of your of your people on the planet Because I'm having difficulty believing that the galaxy spying civilization of Proteins, basically Useful Oops Miss click Let's run run run to our doom. You know what I was Going to say what I was trying to vocalize is that I Seriously doubt that The entire Progress all just on that the entire galaxy spying civilization of proteins had what? About No, pardon about 900,000 people if we hundred thousand poles are Basically really bad vocalization Whoops The Cindy Riamo just the best isn't it? Oh good. You're all dead Studying it to find the stasis deactivation signal Well without much success, I bet They haven't had a protein beak and rave their minds after all Little the better for them to be honest It is not an enjoyable experience. I would not Recommend it I like the protein architecture. It's basically like Much larger versions of the protein beacons That's actually a very smart very clever plan. I wonder why they didn't implement it earlier Yes Oh boy This is about to get Slightly more bloody than I would like isn't it ha ha. I'm kidding of course. There's no such thing as slightly more like damn it Missed But that's super Bullshot. Oh, I'm a bit of a sadist right now Moving along Ouch white I know it This is going to be a tough entry point If I've ever seen one Fortunately, I think I may be able to handle some of it Turrets are destroyed Combat engineer who is in enough. Oh, of course we do oops How did I? How do I cancel these? Never mind So another way to the pot show what a hell not Okay, not that way Let's see, can I simply go down? Yeah Yes, I can good The stairways not just part of the decorum. I'm happy to say Great. All right. And here we are back in the pot next to the pot more like I do not think I would like to be in the box to process it. Maybe this pot would be better Missed here James. I have your back Even if I think you are the most Territory collecting must affect ever possibly see I'm still helping It's by the back of the only half one bullet one tiny precious Bullet is at all. Are you not entertained? Oh, okay. Let me grab this here Bullet and See you can use a sniper by Super offensive. Come on. Shoot at me now boys God's sake James stop Drugging all the attention to yourself Anyone else You have a corner man has the life pod ended stasis mode any bullets Great, that's good. I'm looking forward to you doing just that Where is it? Oh? I shall make sure to break Stace I guess. Yeah. Ouch. That's actually hurt you bloody prick No, I think You lot are Absolutely Unbearable now that all right. This did not really do much of anything. Oh Maybe it did huh? come on to Fight against results more bullets You can open the life pod now All right, I'll do just that in a minute get Out of the way James Alright Again, this is happening that ain't no goddess I take him some time to fully regain consciousness. I do believe if memory serves correctly and that this creature is Quite the Xenophobic one be careful. He's confused Obviously I have a woken a lone protean I Like how victory is using the protean's own words against him. I've thought that these Life capsules would be more Resilient Yeah, didn't work out too well then did it Just you you can understand me. Yes, obviously now that I've read your physiology your nervous system Not to understand your language So you were reading me while I was seeing our last moment. I need your help. I saw what happened to your people I know you must be grieving They died 50,000 years ago. My people are dying right now. I'm sorry I'm surrounded by primitives See Yes, yes, we do So we were primitives 50,000 years ago, but now no longer You do well to remember that Yes, Admiral, but he's not quite what we expected They never are Disco operation understood Admiral We're losing colonies faster than we can evacuate. We've never seen a force like the reapers He has Admiral. Can he help us? probably Service slipped up and give us a new weapon. Don't let it go to waste hack it out Now we'll be sure to use it It's about our new guest I'm on my way. I mean right up. What's the problem? I've tried to make the room more accommodating, but they're not letting me talk to him Apologies doctor contact protocol with the new species assume hostility. We had to dust off the regulations seriously the guys at my own ship Contact with nice PCs not new I've spent my life studying exactly We can trust him. I mean It doesn't really like as much, but I don't think our guest will be a problem. Will he Pins on you. I can sense fear in you anxiety and distress the reapers are winning Yes, yes, they are Care to help turn the tables on them. Did you have tables in your culture? Yeah, that's what my mom said to when I asked her What exactly did I experience back on even prime that was a hell of a flashback The battle at its own mark on me. I communicated this to you. It can work both ways Like your beacons Yes, that's the beacons from the first game Yes, very creepy. I know you saw it all our destruction our warnings Why won't they eat it? Why didn't you prepare for the repulse human? I Prefer commander Your message wasn't exactly specific Unication is still primitive in this cycle We piece together what we could and used it to stop a Reaper invasion three years ago. Not primitive just different Yes, yes, it was we have your plans for the device. We're going to build it device The weapon your people were working on I'd hoped you could tell us how to finish it Yes, we got that Well, can we drop him off in another pod maybe they'll have more luck in 50,000 years Rev morning sunshine, isn't he those who share my purpose Hey, I happen to agree with you on that one The goal of this ship is to wipe the Reapers from existence But how far are you willing to go to achieve as far as it takes? Yes, yes indeed. We found the dig site. I assume it belongs to you It is a memory shard Could it help us with the device? No, no, it's probably it contains only pain his family Something something something and the last thing the Reapers here before they die Will be the last voice of the Prothians sending them to their grave. If you're nice that you are decisive questions. I'd like to ask Here it comes I've written over a dozen studies on your species. I've published in several amusing a sorry have finally mastered writing I'm sorry Never mind. What do you wish to know? everything Where do we start protein device anything more you can tell us about this device your people were trying to build We heard only stories They said our scientists were constructing a great machine that had the power to defeat the Reapers Hmm sounds very Lovely none of us knew what the others were doing Quite enjoying the idea of that. I can't say it's quite a lot. How about your mission? No protein civilization would never forgive me if I didn't ask you what was protein civilization like Yes, I've always wondered what sort of government did you have and can you tell me about your religious beliefs are perhaps he's gonna cut her off is it What does it matter? I'm sorry a Studying your history has been a lifelong passion of mine passion when I'm like obsession Our empire was already at war with the Reapers. The first thing I remember was seeing my planet on fire See that's very interesting to me because obviously he's not too young So I have to wonder how More advanced they were then the humans that are sorry and the rest What was your civilization like before the Reaper attack? We were the dominant race of our cycle. We ruled the galaxy My studies indicated you were the only race engaged in space travel at the time. I always found that curious We were one empire composed of many subjects all eventually called Protein what if they didn't want to they weren't given a choice Are you saying you enslaved the other species? Any could oppose us if they wished and if they had one they would have Many tried none succeeded. I had no idea proteins were so Severe it was by necessity Very early we encountered the dangers posed by machine intelligence They rebelled against us. We've had the same problem. They're called geth We could not allow the machines to surpass us It was decided the only way to win was to unite all organic life within our empire Did it work for a time the metacon war? We were turning the tide Until the Reapers arrived then we understood machines had surpassed us long ago in ways We could never imagine and even then you managed to keep on fighting for years Which I find absolutely fascinating I've never seen a species with this sensory ability you have it was common among my people imparting experience to touch the chemistry of life complicated ideas could be absorbed in seconds that sounds very useful We evolved as hunters reading a thousand details in our environment ensured our survival Beginning to understand the beacons a bit more Later we develop technology to harness our ability Information could be stored in certain objects through touch Memory has its own biomarker its own chemistry as do knowledge and skills the beacons could remember these things Fascinating What can you tell us about your own war with the Reapers? Many of the details were lost the conflict lasted for centuries see Not decades but centuries How did they survive Why did you lose Races became that's Then it was only a matter of time. That's actually really good writing is different Most races cooperate, but they still remain unique, but we're technologically Technologically we're a lot more basic than the proteins obviously, but what I meant by good writing is that for example the idea that They aliens That they couldn't adopt is very Pardoned upon alien to me. How did your people wage war against the Reapers? Attrition we fought them system by system planet by planet city by city Entire worlds were sacrificed just to slow the Reapers down Time they spent harvesting a population was time we could regroup That must have cost you in the long run Yes Our own people would be indoctrinated Converted Then turned against us But there was no choice mercy is not a weapon. It is a weakness All right, so I do believe asked everything. Thank you for talking with me. I never imagined actually meeting a prothian Should I ask for an autograph? To discover the most primitive races of my time now rule the galaxy the asari the humans the terrier There's also the salarians the lizard people evolved. I believe they're amphibian They used to eat flies That's quite charming actually commander You may count on me. I am known as Javik Though I still need time to recover The shock has not worn off yet. I understand. I imagine not be a hell of an experience for you We're just glad to have you aboard Javik That certainly was fascinating Oh, I love when interesting stuff happen Oh now that's pretty As you knew assignment working out hours Fairly normal except for the unshackled a.i Major arpinesia's daughter and the communicator that can reach earth and don't forget the prothian That last one gets my attention So what are you asking for exactly anything from earth is the lead story right now? That's not opinion. It's fact Maybe I can pass on a few non-classified progress updates Excellent They won't be any good sir I don't need face time. I have to data upload I was hoping for triple at least Get a support focus in Cerberus Tell people what's really happening on earth. We need long recruiting lines on every planet after you air a story I can do this commander remind me to tell you about the time I made an elk or cry I just like Cerberus profusely, but I honestly don't see the point in Using miss alize against Miss alize engineer Adams. Who the hell are you commander? Welcome back to the normandy or maybe you should be saying that to me Engineer Adams, what are you doing here? I do not remember you at all My experience on the normandy sr1 made me an obvious choice So what do you think of our sr2? She's incredible If there's one nice thing I can say about Cerberus is that they know how to build a ship And about that Cerberus, I mean I owe you an apology How so? Back when you got this ship. Dr. Chalk was contacting me asking me to help with your mission against the collector You said no, it's okay. I didn't have your back. I'm sorry for that What didn't you join us? I saw what happened to you when the normandy went down. I didn't trust that it was really you And I certainly didn't trust Cerberus Also as an officer of the alliance. I don't just leave my post I'm gonna go with you owe me just because I'm super curious what his response will be You can make up for it on this tour duty. Yeah, that's actually a lot more civilized than Let's ask him about edy. We had a good talk during the retrofit a little strange at first talking shop with an ai Ai I thought edy posed as a vi to keep the likes of you from unplugging her Yeah, but I saw through her. Have you seen her hardware processing power is off the charts And then there were the problems that kept fixing themselves if I hadn't had her peg I would have sworn I was losing it. You never expressed any skepticism lieutenant adams I figured I better play it safe with the Cerberus ai edy. No offense I'm taken as long as you keep your fingers out of my cognizance processors Keep those fingers of them cognizance process Easier said than done, but joker seemed to trust her and at time I saw her advantages even grew to like her Everyone does it's that sexy voice as well. Can I talk with edy? Nope. All right I will go back Ah elevator. That's what I'm looking for Crew deck Medicated I call main battery Yeah, I'm going to crew deck. I'm looking for Lyara Lyara's cabin Sure Useful enough Was this the one? Yep Ah back in the day mass fake too, that was Miranda Lawson's cabin Missed those days It was actually not a cabin at all. It was more of an office Lyara is a creature known as the shadow broken. I should add She trades in information in the criminal Underworlds of the galaxy To Sony I help her sort and catalog collected data She's asked me to draw your attention to a terminal connected to her information network It analyzes information packages if you find any useful data I can research upgrades for you And what should I be looking for I'll inform you if you found relevant data When you do return to this terminal for your choices In the meantime doctor to sony would like to speak with you have a pleasant day I'm kidding Robots all the time. Why wouldn't I be having a pleasant day? What is all this stuff? After you left for earth I had the chance to track down the information trader who'd kidnapped my friend It wasn't easy, but I found the shadow broker and took over his information network You're running that from the normandy What I can not all of the old brokers networks remained intact, but I have agents They helped the information I needed on the protein cash on mars For now i'm researching this prothian device. It's too dangerous to activate until we understand it Oh, yes, definitely Do you think prothians actually completed the crucible? You mean really work they wouldn't have poured their last I don't know why I ask that We kind of went over it like three times already more about how dangerous their weapon might be It'd be nice to know we're not kids playing around with a loaded gun Oh, we are humans where is clear around with those guns? People were finally starting to listen before the reapers came if we'd had a little more time Maybe earth wouldn't I'm sorry. I understand if you don't want to talk about it There is hope for us. Yes I have to remember that You will it's the war we warned everyone about for years And if I know you shepherd too little effect Yes, yes, I will I suppose Hello again shepherd Prothian device the information drone. What's new? Actually, you know what? I think I'm gonna wrap it up for today. Thank you for watching and I will see you next time Bye
