Peter was quick to reach the heart of the matter, a quality Spock could at least appreciate. Some humans had a curious habit of trying to sort through pleasantries before delving into potentially unwanted topics of conversation. At least in this case there was no question as to whether Peter was going to inquire after his roommate, seeing how he had immediately done so.
"He has not behaved any differently toward me since your initial warnings," Spock informed him. Of course, Spock realized that, if there was an ounce of truth to Peter's story, he likely hadn't given him any reason to change the way they interacted with one another. Gabriel had yet to learn of any of his Vulcan abilities, for example, which, according to Peter, was a motivating factor behind his more violent tendencies. Given that Spock had no reason to reveal these abilities to his roommate in the first place, he did not believe that would become an issue in the near future.
"Although I still reserve judgment as to whether your story is factual, I have not disregarded what you said during our previous conversation," Spock added. Currently, he and Gabriel did not often discuss topics of a personal nature with another, including matters pertaining to the extraordinary abilities possessed by members of the patient population. Spock suspected that was partially related to the fact that neither of them would have the other as a cellmate if there was a choice in the matter. But that was irrelevant, considering that was a situation neither of them could readily change.
After picking up his silverware, he took a small bite of his salad before continuing. "You mentioned that he is able to utilize his victims' brains in order to learn how to perform abilities they excel at," he said in a neutral tone that made it clear that he neither believed nor disbelieved Peter's story from before. "Is there any particular method he uses in order to take their lives?"
