'You've reached the voice mail of Jim Kirk. If this is an emergency, hit the pound key to deliver your message via the speaker. As long as I've got my comm with me, I'll hear it. If this is about a class assignment, press one. If this is regarding the location of any of my crew, press two.

If this is Spock questioning my orders to relax every once in a while, wait for exactly 43 seconds, press your thumb to the screen, and speak the secret passwords: 'It's okay to relax every now and then because I trust my captain, as a friend, to know what's good for me.'

...

Did you do it? Now just press 2, it would have got you the same results.'

BEEP!

Okay. That explains the NDA and why Spock didn't go into a lot of detail.

[But all the same, dammit! It's not like he can get mad at Weiss, or even Spock, because they took every precaution they possibly could. And if anyone's going to get data on something they don't know about, it'd have to be the experienced science officer.]

So what now? We wait?

Until someone comes for him, yes.

[ SHe pauses. ] You're.. welcome to come wait with us, if you'd like, though I wouldn't ask you to watch your friend's lifeless body if you aren't up to that.

[He's not thrilled about it. That's probably obvious from the extended pause, followed by an unsteady sigh.]

I think I'll see what happens. He died for that information.

[So while he hates the thought of standing by and watching Spock's corpse get carted off, the Vulcan must have been aware that was a legitimate risk. He'd gone through with it anyway, so this is probably important.]

Where do I need to be?

[ She sends him the address of the GSRF. ]

It shouldn't be for a couple more hours, if the timing is consistent, so if you need a moment you don't need to rush.
