There always are possibilities

Kheren nodded without replying to either the flagship captain nor his Exec, just glancing in turn at O'Conner, Summers, Gould and Samji.

That was what he liked most about his First Officer; he always had alternatives and his own insight to offer, making decisions all the more easier in a crisis, either providing a needed missing option or enough of a critical stand to help evaluate another. And here, of all the people in the room save Summers, Michael O'Conner was the most familiar with the Spectre's capabilties, the ship he beleived was the better choice for Gould's peace mission; he had been her first chief engineer before becoming her executive officer prior to join Kheren on the Artemis.

Now, wether this was truly the better option, or even that Kheren agreed with it or not, it was not for the captain of the Artemis to dispute or decide. After all, he did not know yet what Lotus Fleet Command had planned for this operation.

So the Andorian said nothing and just waited for the Fleet captain to speak, while mentally readjusting his own plan with these added possibilties... in case it would be required of him to offer it, if need be.
