"As I said, I am unharmed," Spock quickly reminded the doctor. They didn't have time to concern themselves with non-existent injuries, so it was best to clear that up as quickly as possible. "Another patient aided me during the encounter."

Jim's theory regarding why he and McCoy had yet to fall under attack made sense within the context of what Spock himself had seen and experienced. After all, Goku had displayed signs of regaining some his own natural abilities as well. Not only that, but it made sense for the military to target those they considered the greatest threat to their authority -- in other words, individuals who experienced a change in physical strength and abilities due to a security breach. Assuming that was correct, then Spock would become a potential liability.

"The captain's logic is sound," he conceded after a brief pause. Then, turning to look at McCoy, Spock continued. "If we traveled together, I would likely draw more danger to both him and Lieutenant Uhura. We should go investigate the force field."

Now wasn't the time for debate. Spock was confident McCoy would understand that, even if he didn't necessarily agree with them.
