[ Jack listens with a sharp gaze, since honestly, this goes better than he had expected with regards to the revelation about himself. He had considered telling Elizabeth earlier, actually, but he had decided against it largely because truly explaining it to her was difficult. He knew that there was a lot that she didn't know about the tech he was used to, and that made it more difficult to explain. Though just as much, a part of him may not have wanted to explain that he wasn't who he said he was.
So, of course, the acceptance here is something he thrives in much more than that doubt. He hadn't expected it would be easy to swallow, and he watches with interest as they mull over what he says. Even better than that, they divulge information in return, and Jack's eyes widen in surprise, though they're just as quick to narrow with a smile. That smile grows, since it seems like there's something in what Jason and Luke both say that he latches onto. It could be dangerous, especially considering how he laughs. It's that sort of sharp, borderline-obnoxious laughter that's so unique to Jack, but it's not easy to tell whether it's genuine amusement or unhinged at the moment. ]
Souvlaki? That's-- Hah, that's what those fuckers are called? Damn. What- What a friggin' stupid name!
[ It might seem like an odd thing for Jack to latch onto here, but he beckons for his tablet back from whoever's holding it. This time, they'll be able to watch as Jack clicks on an app on his datapad that doesn't seem to work. Nothing happens, and yet he keeps clicking on buttons and apps until a text file pops up. It seems like Jack has been busy, since that very particular sequence of pressing buttons and apps acts as a password. ]
Man... It's either my lucky day, or it's the day that I die. Either way? This is the closest I've gotten in a goddamn while, so, y'know? I'm feeling lucky.
[ This is probably worrying too, but Jack seems genuinely thrilled and excited here. He looks to Jason with a grin and speaks to him first. ]
So, you, first of all? Fiiiigure you're probably not one of them, all things considered. So, hoping you'll help me out here, sugartits. If he- [ He jerks a thumb to Luke ] is infected, which I'm taking a risk here and saying no, you're gonna wanna cut his goddamn head off with that sword of yours. But, otherwise?
[ Jack passes the datapad back, and this time there's a new file up. Most of the information there is what he had just given them, but there's an set of information that's pretty interesting. ]
I've been telling all you assholes since the beginning what I'm trying to do here. I've known about the aliens the whole goddamn time. And I've been the one hunting them down. That's my role, kiddos.
