Chapter 4: Javik
Javik sat in meditation by a stream trying to keep himself calm. After he had awoken in the med-bay, he'd found himself missing his right arm. As it turned out he had been hurt worse than he'd thought when the commander had brought the Normandy in to pick him and the quarian Tali'Zorah up from in the midst of the battle run towards the beam. He'd been pissed and actually pleaded to stay and finish the fight. HE PLEADED! HIM! To a…. he paused on his way of thinking. Even if the commander was of a lesser species she had proven time and again that she was far superior to most humans. Lifting his head he watched as the crew buried their dead. Too many had died during the crash. The pilot himself had been injured severely, but had managed to land in an area of the habitable planet that seemed to have everything they'd need, excluding dextro foods. The planet was undoubtedly a levo planet and that meant that the two dextro people on the ship were going to need to be very careful with their food supplies.
He then saw the blue hand of one of the asari commandos that they'd brought onto the ship because she'd been injured. He had heard from the human doctor that the asari hand awoken to the jarring of the ship as it broke atmosphere and had flung her body over the doctors just as a piece of metal ceiling panel had broken off. The young asari had been killed, leaving the doctor uninjured.
Standing he walked over to the turian Garrus who was saying some things as the dead were buried. He had just ended his speech as they began burying the dead bodies that were in the holes that'd been dug for the dead. "Vakarian." He said causing the turian to look towards him, he was grateful that nothing was said about his change of addressing the turian.
"Yes Javik?" he answered as he began to walk back towards the ship.
"I wish to scout forward around the area and perhaps find some game to hunt." He looked at the humans Vega and Cotez. "They could be useful." He nodded towards the two men.
Garrus stood back and looked at Javik. Was her hearing things? Javik was volunteering to help with something? he thought about that for a second. "Take Liara with you." He said which caused a scowl to appear on the ancients face and before the Prothean could object Garrus continued. "She's going to launch a small communications satellite and hopefully we'll be able to communicate with people outside this system."
Javik thought for a second before nodding. "Tell the asa-Liara to be ready in five." With that the ancient walked away and hoped this day would be productive however he already had a feeling that this was going to be a very long day.
