Jez wasn’t sure if the Telepaths not using their abilities made sense to her. Clearly, someone here is an assassin or worse a murderer. What Commander Kurasa said next Jez couldn’t even process "The Commander is giving you good advice but the reason I am not using my abilities is that with the technology that these people possess it is very likely that they have countermeasures available and then we reveal ourselves to be no better than they are."
This makes no sense to me. Thought Jez, but Kurasa cleared up what she meant, "We are here to rescue one of our own and any deviation from what Starfleet permits us to do will only shows them that we ignore our own laws in order to succeed. If we are to inspire them to join the Federation then we need to demonstrate that we stick to our principles.
So, Lieutenant, let's follow the First officer and see if we can't find our missing Ambassador, hmmn?" Kurasa was about to turn around to follow the team; she spoke quietly for Mala’s benefit, “However our Empathic senses are not intrusive and they make us terrific lie detectors.”
Yes, there was technology that could interfere with Telepathic abilities, but it is very expensive and it’s not very common, but to not even try to pick up on anyone in the vicinity harboring anxiety towards the Aquila crew. Jez had no doubt that given the number of Telepaths on the Away Team, especially ones as powerful as Commander Tallion they could surely pick up on something.
Jez casually looked around to see if she could notice anyone observing them, or if they had any unusual body language. Maybe someone holding a gaze a little too long, an overly rigid posture due to anxiety or stress. Body language can convey a lot of information without the person realizing it. Each person seemed to be in their own moment in time, laughing at a joke, or smiling at the sight of their family or lover. Toasting a successful business deal or discussing an upcoming vacation, or any number of things, but body language often gives away a person's true intentions.
Jez’s reply was low so only Kursas could hear, “I understand Commander, but at some point we will have to use our gifts if we truly hope to get to the bottom of this. I mean we’ve tried everything else.No??”
