Atticus was really trying not to go all fanboy mode on Jim, but it wasn't easy. He was getting a drink with Captain Kirk. How was that not the coolest thing he'd ever done in his life? He did his best to hold it in, though he was bouncing on his toes a little when he met Jim in the lobby.

"There's this place not far from here," he said. "Pretty cheap, and they have something mostly like tequila."

"You've never had tequila? Man, you have not lived," Atticus said with an enormous grin.

"The plant died centuries before I was born and the synthesized stuff tasted like shit." It still got him drunk in under twenty minutes though. That was a good time. Jim should really be letting Atticus take the lead here, but the kid was just so...fucking happy.

"Seriously, never drink the synthesized crap, there's no joy in it."

He was so fucking happy. He was pretty sure he dreamed about doing something like this when he was about eight.

"I will definitely keep that in mind. And that is fucking tragic. Because...it's like...I mean tequila is basically the best thing ever. After music. And sex."

"Bullshit." Jim can think of a number of things off hand that he bet could blow Atticus' mind. Just none that were accessible here. Not even Gaila could probably guess how much Jim thought about the necessary parts to make a warp core to get the fuck out of here with as many of them as whatever tin can he could cobble together could hold.

He'd need her though. And any other life form that had achieved space travel and any other human with the genius to help.

"Well, okay. Space travel. But I can't really make that comparison."

Because, yeah. He was basically positive that would be the most amazing thing ever. And he would love to help with that, but his talents do not lie in that field.
