_{( A few hours after arriving, and after meeting up with Jim and figuring out some basics, because he's not about to make a public post that makes a fool of him in front of a bunch of people, Bones picks up the comm and says, rough southern accent and all-- )}

Alright. There's obviously no point asking about how to hail a ship that's in orbit two hundred years in the future.

You know how long it'd take to get to Rio? That's hours cramped in the same seat, no circulation in your legs. Half the flight'll probably get blood clots. And they can barely control the air pressure in those things, much less the six thousand diseases people're tracking on and off at any moment.

And I thought the goddamn shuttles were deathtraps. _{( No flying. Ever. )}

[ note to self never let Bones watch Quarantine 2: Terminal. there's a pause as Kirk tries to take in that slight dump of... somewhat irrational (although he can see Bones's point) fears. ]

_{( He's kind of aware of how completely illogical it is when he says, without any to do: )} Cars are fine.

_{( They don't fly, ok. And he knows that people die in them, too, but somehow they seem manageable. )}

Maybe depends on what kind of car, though.
