I think you’ve stumbled on to the probe’s ulterior motive.
Big mistake. Whales have notoriously big mouths.
That whale has a higher rank in starfleet than most officers lol
Seriously, Gracy went to bat for the entire Human race.
Gracy, talking to the probe: “Humans are pretty bad from where I come from, but apparently I was kidnapped through time against my will by these humans, and even though they broke the laws of physics to do it, I think they’re a little better than the other humans so you should probably give them another chance.”
Not against her will; she agreed to help during the mind meld (allegedly, according to Spock at least).
Plus unless Spock was deliberately concealing his thoughts from Gracy then she would have seen all his thoughts and memories too and would know that humans in the 23rd century are much more evolved emotionally and socially than in the 20th.
seen all his thoughts
“Holy crap, you DIED?”
▸gracy: uh, you died? tell me about that
Spock: A̶r̵e̴ ý̵̢o̵͉̊ṷ̴͂ s̵͇̜͂u̴̯̹͠r̸̰̫̃ë̶̠?
According to serial mind-rapist Spock?
Haha
yeah bro, they’re in Cetacean Ops
Why do you think Starfleet had to set that up in the first place? You think they WANT a huge network of oversized saltwater-flooded Jeffries tubes running alongside the constantly infiltrated and poorly electrically insulated normal ones?

The way the prime timeline works is that this whale ends up having a key role in the standardization of Starfleet secuirty codes.
Just use the whale to find the cure for Nerve Attenuation Syndrome.
