Interested in a guy dying and coming back to life? Jim knows without looking that Spock has tensed considerably and is staring hard at the captain now. But what he's thinking is altogether different than what Jim is. His first officer is thinking of Jim's own death fixing the warp core.

"Shit." Jim scrubs a hand down his face. "I really hope I'm wrong about this..."
