( They landed on Earth in time, and Bones was soon gone, taking leave for the two months that the Enterprise was in dock for further improvements and some smaller repairs. Jim wasn’t sure if Bones would return at all – or be allowed to return, or whatever circular way of reaching a decision those two would come up with. The result would be the same, the Enterprise would leave for its next mission without Bones, and he hated the idea. But he didn’t see a way to solve the problem other than Bones becoming a free man again, which was damn unlikely. )
