#seriously why was bones even on nibiru #what possible reason could there be for the chief medical officer to go distract the locals #it’s like as soon as someone mentioned wetsuits jim grinned for the entire rest of the debriefing #”captain someone should accompany you—” ”i nominate doctor mccoy!” jim announces loudly #already halfway to the turbolift #”bones suit up i’m the captain” #and bones immediately gets a sinking feeling in his stomach #because jim only punctuates orders with ‘i’m the captain’ when he’s actively preempting bones’s insubordinate protests
