Yet another episode where an antagonist female falls for Kirk's dadbod and does everything to assure the failure of her own plans. And as usual the crew displays utter incompetence, including, obviously, Kirk.
Why use the computer in hopes that someone will notice the record and will try to decipher it, when he can just write the entire message on the wall with his excreta? That assures an instant delivery of the message to the crew. And even after recording the message on a computer he just left it there instead of giving it directly to Spok, so he would notice.
And the whole premise is flawed. Why the sirens kidnap one guy at the time, if they could ask nicely for the whole crew to provide them with material, freeze it and let them be on their way. They can speak english = they can write english on the walls. The federation can even provide regular humanitarian cumbardments to help the natives in their struggle.
