[He's had plenty of sit-downs with Angela about the issue. Sharing the designs of Genji's cybernetic augmentations with him isn't a HIPPA violation, at least not to his knowledge--he's sure Angela would have given him an earful if that was the case. He imagines it falls into some strange grey area, where ordinarily it would all be private, but there's just enough tech involved and Genji is a field agent, which means that as commander, he has to know what he needs and what he's capable of. It seems invasive, but all of this is invasive. Jack wishes it could be different, but the fact of the matter is that it's not.
This time, he eats the hit, partly because he thinks that maybe he owes Genji that much. He can feel the anger behind the blow, but he doesn't really have to worry. Jack is genetically engineered to take a beating, and as twisted as it is, maybe it will do Genji some good to let loose on him. Jack staggers backward a few steps, and he raises his fists in a defensive position.]
A machine functions within certain parameters.
[Even the god programs functioned within programming--they just had to learn how that programming had evolved. Genji might feel powerless now, but Jack is adamant that he still has free will.
Or maybe that's just what he tells himself to feel better about turning a kid into a living weapon.]

You don't have those restrictions.
