Note: This is the official answer to the riddle: Enigmatic Smile
Nobody figured out the truth, which is: there was indeed a cloaked invisible soundproof ship there. But it was a Federation ship, meant to test the special abilities the captain was claiming to possess. The first officer knew about this and was trying to trick the captain, to make him doubt his own abilities. He was smiling with joy when the captain figured the exact coordinates of the engine room. Of course, he cancelled the captain’s fire order – he didn’t want an expensive Federation ship blown away.

Nice
super tare
noh
well, that was nice, although not quite correct. the 1st officer smiled after canceling captain’s fire order and not when the captain figured the engine room coordinates.
That’s true, T.rex. I’m afraid we’ll never figure out this peculiarity in the officer’s behavior
Cheers!
