Spock took another silent bite of the strawberry, the chocolate taste lingering in his mouth now even if he swallowed. There was nothing that he should, could, say to change his mind. The captain had made his decision, with no small consideration, and as first officer he had to support that decision. Jim was right: there was no right choice here, which is why this felt wrong. It was not a matter of rationalizing murder, but simply accepting it. He still...wished (illogical to hope without plan or possibility--), that there was something he could do to amend the situation.
"When do you plan to execute him?" Not that he would try to sabotage Jim's plan. He just wanted to know.
