JACK
”Arbiter, it is your job to know these things,” Jack said simply, chin tilted up in defiance as the taller man straightened up from the counter. In a fair fight again Sunjata, he wouldn’t stand a chance. But then Jack never fought fair, did he? And it was his job to know, in the captain’s opinion. When one took on a place like Torchline, it was more important to know the criminals than it was to know the civilians.
Still, at the question, and the steel gaze levelled his way, Jack paused and narrowed his eyes right back at Jata. Of course, he knew he was telling the truth - and a lot more besides - but he couldn’t just accept that. It would look weird. Lucky for them both, he already had something lined up. ”I think it’s gonna take a lot to get people back on side, after what you did to Zeph,” he said. ”There’s a mission to deal with whatever shit is livin’ in the Fingers. Join it. Get ‘em all out alive.”
