"People don't like change in general." He hesitates for only a moment, for if there's anything that Jim can be counted on being, it's direct. "I don't think you like the way I do things. And in those six months we served together that you don't remember, I think you liked that the way I do things works even less. I'm just guessing, but as a scientist, maybe you don't like that you just don't get me. Me, I just...I find it fun. Challenging. Not getting you."
