The question about whether or not he was a public figure gives Jack pause, but only for a moment. He does have an answer to this, and it has nothing to do with how well-known he may or may not have been, back home.

"It seemed like the Natha had some amount of telepathic ability." He still remembers the nametags they'd been given, back when they'd first landed on El Nysa. They'd been stapled to their shirts and couldn't be removed no matter what they did -- which was unfortunate, given that they put personal details about them on display.

"I'm guessing they had a way of getting insight into each of us, so that they could decide who to grab."

He's got a sour look on his face as he shrugs. He was never a fan of the Natha and he never will be.
