*flails* Dude, I get back and this is awesome. Because there has to be some way for them getting between the shuttlecraft scene and Jim's Kobiyashi Maru obsessiveness, and this would just seem to be the perfect segue into that friendship. Awesome. :D ♥

Also, couple of awesome lines:

"As if I've got a monopoly on sarcasm between these two seats," Jim said lightly.
:D Made me giggle. Oh Jim, you snarky bastard. I have a weakness for snarky men. *facepalm*

He can't bother you, he can't trap you, he can't hurt you –
:( Oh Jim. *wibbles*

*flaily* :D *hugs*
