"Mr. Spencer, if you have a problem with me, then you can bring it up with me privately, however no one else knew about this until now. Everyone has heard the same thing and you've made an assumption of what I meant by 'on the run' instead of accepting my words at face value. This isn't anything to do with a 'hive' mind, although I assure you that we're hardly the Borgs and we're not being assimilated." He can't believe he was using Star Trek references now. "I assure you that I try to be as clear and direct as possible and not use mind games when giving directions." He used mind games for everything else. "However, if my directions are not clear, I have never refused to elaborate further, which I did when you asked. I explained succinctly and precisely and yet you take offense to a manner of speaking that is your preferred. If you'd like me to explain in a more verbose manner, rest assured that I can give you the same information with lots of more words, but you have never seemed inclined to enjoy that form of conversation, ergo the short form."
