Jack sat on the chair before him and listened to the general's words carefully. He checked the chairs and, to his surprise, they were inorganic, thus allowing him to use his powers. However Jack didn't try to do so, instead being silent while the general was speaking.
"Sly bastard...He must have purposely brought inorganic chairs to see what course of action I would take. Apparently, he is much smarter than the average soldier. That means that every word I say and every action I take, might as well be the last."
Stone finished talking, making himself rather clear about his intentions. Jack took a couple of breaths and then replied:
"Mr Stone, with all due respect, I don't think that deadly force will get both sides anywhere. If we take on the facts and the events that occured thus far, I remember Vitus kidnapping people and attacking the planet effortesly, even in the army's presence, while a bunch of untrained civilians and most of them children I might add, took down a Vitus spaceship, along with it's crew while beat up and exhausted from experiments on them. My point is, if your deadly force as you called it, isn't enough to take a Vitus ship down, then I don't see how it can go against our team. However, I am not a stupid man myself. I am convinced that your team might as well be the best there is when it comes to global threats and I don't want either group, nor yours or mine, to have casualties, thinking that instead of fighting each other we should focus at the common enemy."
Jack took a couple more breaths and licked his dry mouth, before continuing
"You asked me if I could convince you to trust us...With just one of my men turning a whole city into a quarantine because of his radiaton, the answer is clearly no. I know that we are too dangerous to be left loose, but, right now, it's not me who should gamble on trying to convince you, it's you gambling on us. And if it's not enough for you, I think that the lady that was standing behind you could be the one monitoring my team and report back to you. She seems to despise us enough, making her the most objective judge, since she will not tolerate even the smallest misbehavior."
Jack's eyes shined as he said his last sentence.
"I promise you this Mr. Stone. If, in any case, even a single member of my team turns rogue, I will come myself to you and be arrested. This is as much as I can offer..."
