Jack stops short, a part of him not believing what he's seeing. For all that he's been dedicated to finding Gabriel, now that he's actually here, it doesn't feel real. This must just be some trap, set for him and ready to spring. That's what clogs his thoughts at first, but as he gets a closer look at Gabriel in the dim lighting, that all shifts.
Something's wrong with him. That's not really a surprise, Talon got a hold of him, but all the same, a heaviness settles into Jack's chest. Maybe if he'd gotten here sooner, found him faster...
His skin tone is all wrong, not to mention that it looks like there's smoke coming off of him. His voice even sounds off, rougher than it should be, and Jack's shoulders tense up. He wants to hurt whoever did this to Gabriel, wants it so much that it's a little frightening.
One thing at a time, though. He needs to get him out of here, and he can figure out what's been done to him after that. Jack starts toward Gabriel, both arms lifting up in the air. ]
I'm here to help.
[ His voice isn't all that different, but it is muffled by the helmet. He'll show Gabriel his face if he has to, but he's hoping to avoid that, well aware that this is all being monitored. ]
