... So that thing is apparently Shotaro, the guy he'd met when he first got here. Hell of a detective, apparently. Looks like Jack isn't the only one with more tricks up his sleeve than he admits to new acquaintances. There's a second voice, too, one he doesn't recognize, but both of them are teasing, and that's enough to make Jack bristle, albeit just a little, mostly in competition.

He's fought more crazy alien creatures in his time than just about anyone, and if these crystal things don't count, he's not sure what does.

"This coat's been through worse than this!" he calls, flashing a cocky grin at Shotaro.

He's not about to stop fighting, whatever the guy (guys?) in the armor says.

He keeps the revolver raised.
