It's that kind of observation that worries Erek, but it's difficult to balance Jarvis's learning about the Yeerks (very necessary now) with learning about him (to be avoided wherever possible).

Though isolated, the security programs are far less guarded than Jarvis himself. Erek soon has them ready for a quick download... and hesitates. It's occurring to the Chee that letting Stark's AI loose in his systems with a full complement of security programs... might be unwise. He's still not sure what Jarvis is capable of. And his pessimism about human tech is thoroughly ingrained.

But he's picking a bad time to delay. There are audible footsteps outside as crew members of several species scatter back to work. And now most of those returning have Dracon beams in hand.
