[ Sam's humble, but he's not about to play coy with facts - yeah, the amputation did save Tony's life. There's still a soft puff of air, a soft sound that's almost a small chuckle, but sounds more like relief. He'd done his best - but... ]
Appreciate it, man. Ain't a doctor, but I served as pararescue. Can't quite take the battlefield emt paramedic outta me, I guess. Still glad to know we got an actual doctor aboard now, 'cause that I ain't.
Maybe not, but 'needs must when the Devil drives'. You're former military?
( The ahh of understanding goes unspoken here. Stark's injuries- and the scars left behind -had a definite 'battlefield medic works with what he has' vibe, but Bones won't fault him for it. His patient survived, healed, and aside from the psychological impact of losing a limb, seemed to be thriving. That's a goddamn victory. )
That answered my next question. ( ...okay he's gotta ask the niggling question now, ) Where are you from, Mr. Wilson?
Sure am. Served two combat tours as a United States Air Force pararescue.
[ Proud of the work, if not the institution it was done under. But that's not the question here. ]
Earth, 2024, if that's got meaning for you. I understand not everyone's familiar. And yes, we named the planet that, and the moon Moon. We're like that.
( Bones considers the gulf of time between them, before the unification of Earth, back when nations were still divided, and military forces were seen as necessary the world over. The kind of stuff he's only read in historical texts.
But yeah, Sam's addressed his question, and he smirks, easing back in his seat. )
The Klingons named one of their moons "practice"; trust me, there's a fair share of sillier names out there than "moon". ( He adds, the corner of his mouth quirking up, ) I was born in Atlanta, went to Ole Miss, and it's currently 2263 back home.
Delacroix? Sure enough. You're right on the Gulf. ( Couple clicks southeast, if he remembers right. )
Never made it that far though, my friends and I were too interested in Bourbon Street. We used to make the hike down after classes on Friday and hauled ourselves back Sunday night.

Right. So Kirk...
Sam's just gonna put that to the side before his brain breaks. ]
Well damn. We're a few years apart, huh? Louisiana, myself, near New Orleans. Island of Delacroix. Practically neighbours.

Hah. Good to know even more than 200 years in the future Bourbon Street knows how to lure the tourists.
[ The tease is obvious in the amused town though. No real judgment here. ]
