"Excuse me?" Emotional, definitely. His body tensed up like a cat's fur fluffing up, "Don't you think we would have if we could have?! Why do you think I waited until that exact moment Jim?! She had some sort of damn shielding up that she didn't take down until then! We've been keeping an eye on the Narada and everything around her for days, but there was nothing we could do! That shielding naturally deflected most information from our scanners, and the four of you were beamed out of there the second it was possible!."
His fingers clenched together, left hand aching. "It isn't you I'm worried about at all, Jim." He gave a look at Spock. "I'm not going to lock either of you in the brig, dammit, but because of Spock the Narada has information about our ship. You can argue it isn't anything important, engine, shields, weapons, but any information a ship with every possible reason to want to destroy us has about our ship means a possible weakness to be used against us. If nothing else, it's bettering an enemy ship."
"I'm not stupid enough to not realize she's sentient, but that doesn't mean her will is completely her own. Say what you will, but I'm divorced enough from the knowledge of her sentience to realize she could turn everything against us, and destroy us, because we have her masters."
