[Appears amidst a rising cloud of steam, coughing and gagging. Guess who's been working on truth serums since his last conversation with Jack? Guess who just had one BLOW UP IN HIS FACE? Yup. Firo. Only, he has a unique problem now. Because ask him a question, and he WILL tell you the truth. It just might not be the truth about, you know, him. It could be the truth about a ten year old boy or about Szilard. THANKS TO ALL THOSE LIVES UP IN HIS HEAD? Well. Keeping his stories straight will take effort.

Oh, and due to a little side-effect that Firo built in to the serums so that Jack wouldn't dodge out on him again? He's going to be too dizzy/headachey to leave the plane.]

[Raises an eyebrow.] Who, exactly?

Jack Harkness.

[Frown.] Why? Why him? Because of the immortality?

Yes.

What could he possibly tell you that you haven't seen or learned for yourself already?

Plenty.

Like what, exactly?

How he got to be immortal, for a start. [He's getting seriously aggravated now.]

[Snaps,] How does knowing how it happened to him help you?

[Snaps back] Doesn't help me, helps the brunos in my Camorra who aren't immortal. F' I can figure a temporary way to make sure they won't get hurt-- [Cuts himself off, because none of that was really compelled by the question.]

And what the hell makes you think that the rules of his world and his immortality apply to yours?

Won't know until I know more about him! Even if they don't, might give me some fucking idea of how to keep my own from ending up dead.

You could have found a better way than drugging the poor bastard.

You ever tried getting a straight answer from him? I don't have any time left to try and be a 'friend'.

And you want to make other people immortal, people you care about? You'd wish that on them?

It's research. Looking for a temporary way, all right?

I'd say Jack's is anything but temporary.

I said it's for ideas, didn't I? [He hisses it, starting to consider going for a weapon if his head doesn't clear soon]

And you'll jeopardize someone else's health for ideas? [Isn't quite sure why he's being so protective of Jack, really.]

I'll jeopardize my own and who else's I need to, for my Camorra.

[Folds his arms and raises his eyebrows.] Oh? So you'd hurt Angela or Dino for your own ends, would you?

They're as good as family.

Are they, then? [SARCASM.]

[Grabbing a fistful of his shirt] Don't ever question my loyalty.

[Completely calm, though he's ready to fight at any moment.] Not your loyalty. Just your intelligence, and your regard for the lives of people here. [Oh Hei, you're such a hypocrite.]
