[ Of course Jack has the same concerns, that they might have screwed around in Gabriel's head. Maybe he'll end up gutted by his best friend in his sleep, and Talon will sit around and laugh about how he fell for the same trick twice. Maybe this is all going exactly as they planned.
On the other hand, maybe he doesn't care. It's not like there's much left to him in this life anymore. If his final act is getting Gabriel the hell out of there, then that wouldn't be so bad.
It is strange for Gabriel not to have all the answers, when he'd prided himself on that sort of thing back during Overwatch. Not that Jack would expect anything to be the same under these circumstances. Talon had been torturing him, experimenting on him. Why would they have bothered to explain any of what they're doing?
Nanites and biotics, though. Maybe they could track down Angela, see if she'd be willing to examine Gabriel and piece together what's been done to him. Jack doesn't mention that now, though. He'll give Gabriel a few days to adjust, at least. ]
We'll figure it out. I think I'm still processing that you're actually here.
[ He breathes out and rubs at the back of his neck. There is this sense of awkwardness, as they hadn't been on great terms leading up to the explosion (to say the least). It all seems to matter a lot less now that Overwatch is gone, though. ]
