"If the Narada is capable of transporting Spock away," Jim said quietly, "then there's little we can do to counter her desire to keep him, for now. Since he himself has requested to stay, I won't move against that. As for dealing... I merely seek to avoid needless loss of life. As it stands, the Narada holds the cards. And she has offered no threat to us. She is learning by leaps and bounds, and Spock is teaching the Romulans something of our ways. With no direct threat, and with every possiblity that things can be turned to our advantage, I see no reason to threaten them."
