   It's this one:   
      
   Full personal dossiers on the following names--   
   Dr. Thomas Leighton,   
   Anton Karidian,   
   Lieutenant Kevin Riley.   
   And Captain James T. Kirk.   
   Accomplished. Standing by.   
   Correlate. Check their past histories.   
   Report any item,   
   any past episode or experience   
   they all have in common.   
   Affirmative.   
      
   It's a bit vague whether the computer's "Affirmative" is it telling    
   Spock it has found a common item, episode or experience in common or    
   just acknowledging receipt of his instruction, but in the next scene    
   Spock is telling McCoy the history of Tarsus. that Kirk, Leighton and    
   Riley were the last surviving witnesses up until the start of the    
   episode, and that the Karidian players were nearby every time the    
   recently deceased other witnesses bought it.  So either the computer did    
   indeed make that connection or it at least delivered the necessary    
   information for Spock to make it.
