Taken aback by McCoy’s words, Jack paused momentarily and gave McCoy a wide grin. “Aliens, huh? Hot damn, that’s ‘xcitin’!” He’d listened closely enough but don’t really get what ‘life support’ is, so doesn’t pursue it. “But that means you spend a lot o’ time in space, 'n I don't get how goin' to war in space works. What would happen if someone hit yer ship? Wouldn't it leak out air?”
The man then gives Jack a look that he cain’t translate into meaning nothin’.
He snorted a little at McCoy’s confusion. Surely they had tootsie pops in the future? Well, tootsie rolls. Jack still grinned at the man. “Tootsie rolls is candy. But Astronaut food is supposedly packed with nutrition,” he explains, eyes flickering down to his knee.
He don’t know for shore if the doc wanted him or not, but Jack felt confident that he could chance it. “They gave me a nice place to stay. Wanna come see?”
