Very well, Jim. A contingent can begin preparations to travel to the colony. Assuming you will personally accompany them, I will inform them to be ready to travel within the next two days.
[ The next day would be another day of diplomatic talks, no chance for the captain to leave to travel to the colony, but it could be arranged after. It is not too surprising to Spock that Jim wants to make the trip himself, but Spock is well aware of the captain's tendency toward wandering into dangerous situations. Ensuring he would travel with others is important. ]
I wish to join you on this. A closer inspection of the colony and the systems contained inside is important for documenting our findings to Starfleet.
[ This isn't just a mishap. Those are not the words Spock would use, but they are a logical point. Spock does not believe in idle speculation and there is not yet enough data to support a hypothesis, but he knows science. He knows what should and should not be possible. The level of contamination, the death of crops, and the failure of multiple life support systems? Are all not entirely possible. Not all at once, not with the spread they have displayed.
He will say nothing, but a closer examination is necessary.
There is more going on in this world than he can see on the surface, but Spock does not trust these men. They are unsettling, as is this world. Perhaps it is the death around them, something that still suits poorly on his shoulders, but he cannot say for certain and does not try to dig deeper. ]
Lieutenant Uhura can round up people and talk to them. She is the best for such a scenario, as she can be quite empathetic.
[ It is a practical solution, one he knows makes the most sense. Uhura, along with her team, can gather people and talk to them, as she is the communications officer. ]
