a buddy of mine said that he saw jack morrison take his shirt off in the shower
Who: Angela Ziegler, Soldier: 76, special guest Solid Snake, extra special guests Reinhardt and Reaper and Mei
When: Early February
Where: The Ingress entrance to Eosoros and then some other places maybe
What: Basically the part of Undercover Boss where the boss stops being undercover, except with fewer monetary gifts
Warnings: Blood, medical business, an angry old man
[76 arrives on Thisavrou very, very angry.
He’s usually angry, but generally speaking, he manages to keep said anger to a low simmer if only to function on a day-to-day basis. Arriving on this new planet after the ordeal at the Midway Hub, finding that all he can really do is sit and wait for his number to be called means that anger gets the better of him, even as he attempts to settle in (but 'settling in' is for other people). 76 takes one of the security gigs on Eosoros in a bid to do something productive, and that's sort of when things come to a head.
He’s angry, and he screws up.
It’s not really his fault, he thinks. It’s easy to blame the client (too reckless, an idiot, doesn’t listen to him, gets them both in a bad situation), but probably 76 could have handled this better. He should have bailed when things started to go south or ditched the client entirely or not taken the job in the first place—the money for a security detail wasn’t worth any of that, but he’s still boiling over with ire about the whole situation and that’s enough to make him do very stupid things, like throwing himself down in order to save both their asses when the client proves too incompetent to make it through the stupid torture gauntlet.
Hindsight, however, is twenty-twenty, and he’s not exactly coherent as he drags them both back through the Ingress and is immediately sidelined for medical attention. 76, too angry to care about decorum or not making a scene, immediately makes a scene. Someone is trying to hold him down, if only to keep him from getting blood everywhere before a medic arrives. The Savrii, however, are hard-pressed to subdue an enhanced human like him, especially when he’s in absolutely no mood to listen to reason.
Under duress, 76 becomes all but feral, hissing and spitting and doing everything in his power to get out and away, even if that means ignoring the fact that he's wounded and throwing all his self preservation out the window (said like he had any to begin with). It’s only the nature of his injury that keeps him from making an effective escape, though that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to try.]

"I know you do."
But he'll blame himself--he always does, and part of his revenge quest is atoning for the many, many mistakes he made over the course of twenty years that cost them all so much.
"I'm gonna find the answer, but it's not a road I want the rest of you walking down."
Because he's already compromised so much of himself in the process, and he knows where this ends. It's not anything good.
no subject
"You don't have to do it alone just because it's dangerous. Besides, without someone to run things by, you might overlook something."
no subject
The only help he'd accept in a situation like this, of course. Ana has a full understanding of what she's getting into, and Jack had been so lost without her that he'll selfishly drag her along either way. It's flattering, perhaps, to know that his people still want to be part of this, but Jack will be adamant that they deserve much better than any of this.
"You don't need to worry about me."
no subject
"When we get home, what will happen when you find out what you need to know?"
no subject
"Depends on what I find."
On how deep it goes. If the UN really is all tangled up in it, revealing the truth could have dangerous repercussions that might shake the very foundation of international relations across the board. On the other hand, it's something Jack has to do, even if it means taking it all down. He owes his people that much.

no subject
He can promise that much, even if he's not sure whether or not he'll be able to deliver the information himself. It'll all get out somehow--Jack will make sure of it.
"Not making a whole lot of progress stuck here, though."
For obvious reasons.
no subject
"That's true. Everything we were doing is stuck on pause while we're here. It's frustrating, but what can we do? Just have to wait it out, I guess." Her eyes lower to the rocks she'd been handling, and she releases a sigh before looking back up with her patented Mei-smile. "And get back to collecting rocks, right?"
no subject
To help her with the rocks. He offers her the best smile he can, but it's still a little strained. Mundane as it is, talking about the rocks again is sort of a relief--Jack isn't so good at going on about his mission. He's well aware he sounds like a crazy conspiracy theorist.
"What else do you need to get?"
no subject
"What should I call you now that I know who you are?"
no subject
It should be a little freeing. Perhaps it’ll hit him later.
He’s not going to ask Mei to call him by a number, nor does he expect her to address him as Commander. Neither would be right, so it leaves only one option.
“Just Jack, Mei.”
no subject
"Jack. Okay, I can do that." It will feel a little strange not being a bit more formal with him, but she'll get over it quickly. "Let's go. Thank you for the help today."
