Chapter 107: Like Unto Gods

=== Summary ===
Shepard, Garrus, and Viatrix participate in the asari kariya, a child-blessing ritual, on Thessia with Liara, Samara, and Tevos along with twenty-one more asari.
That afternoon, Liara speaks with her father about the ceremony. Aethyta comments that it must have been like “joining with the whole goddess-damned universe”. Liara confirms the feeling, and when Aethyta goes on to say that there are a lot of dark things out there Liara says that is what she is there for.
The next morning, Javik and Shepard arrive at the University of Thessia per Liara’s request. Liara believes that Shepard will be able to use more prothean data storage devices and beacon technology given her new ability to send and receive information. Javik confirms that something about Shepard has changed, he describes it as her becoming more prothean. He tells her that when he named her the Avatar of Victory, she assumed the mantle in truth- like a prothean would. Javik admits with some discomfort that the protheans always had Avatars, and that they had a deeper connection with the iborihe than most other protheans, but they didn’t understand why. To handle the glut of information, the Avatars used the memory shards to store the data outside their own minds- technology they received from the inusannon. Javik hands Shepard an empty memory shard, and although Shepard asks what to do with it, she instinctively places information in it with no help or direction. Liara goes on to say that the inusannon had come to a different conclusion than the protheans of the nature of the Catalyst: That the Catalyst may have been Harbinger, and it would survive the firing of the Crucible using the iborihe.
