Jim's expression might as well translate to finding more than his current affliction unsettling. Downright disgusting, even. It makes him want to ask how Kathryn can talk about such a race without any inflection, but ... well, the Delta Quadrant, etc. He won't presume to imagine what that was like.

"I can, but after getting to know you a little better I can also see why they disobeyed your orders." Professional as she is, Jim hasn't seen her to be without compassion in measured doses. Again, he's reminded of Chris while talking with her. "Why did the Vidiians harvest organs?"
