Jim knew about a variety of things that took place in the 24th Century during and before the time that Ambassador Spock -- and now, Captain Data -- hailed from. Some of it was direct information, but a majority of it wasn't. There was a large mess of mixed images, thoughts, feelings and sounds, some of which he could make sense of, others not. He'd learned to ignore that garbled side dish of information that had been dumped into his head during the ambassador's mind meld; but it was thanks to that mess of extra information that Jim realized he'd heard of Captain Data before in flashes of memories that weren't his own. He didn't understand them, but at least it told him that this Data was genuine and not someone presenting them with falsities in hopes of worming their way into this makeshift Starfleet system he'd put together and worked hard to keep together while they were trapped in Colligo. That, coupled with the fact that Seven seemed to trust him as well, gave Jim reason to believe that meeting the other captain was the best course of action.
After all, even though the Temporal Prime Directive had been punctured in ways that would make the boys at Temporal Investigations spin in their seats and wish they'd gone into botany instead, there were some things Jim had kept to himself; things he hadn't even told Bones or Seven. A good captain knew when to keep their mouth shut.
He waited a top the roof of the second building for the other Enterprise captain, wearing his uniform in an ironic twist of fate where all his other clothes had been in dire need of a wash and him being too lazy to do so; it was oddly fitting for such a situation.
