"Mr. Sulu, were you able to pick up Captain Kirk's location before losing connection?" Spock questioned.
"No, Mr. Spock; contact was lost too soon." Sulu answered.
Spock sighed.
"Very well…Mr. Scott, how's that search coming along?" Spock questioned.
"Still pending results, Mr. Spock," Scotty answered.
Dr. McCoy came back to the Bridge.
"Any luck yet, Spock," Dr. McCoy questioned.
"Negative, Doctor," Spock replied.
Dr. McCoy noticed a certain look in Spock's eyes that usually wasn't there. Dr. McCoy sighed and patted Spock's shoulder.
"We'll find him, Spock, don't worry." Dr. McCoy spoke, kindly.
Spock nodded.
"Acknowledged, Doctor," Spock replied.
Dr. McCoy looked at the screen; nothing but stars and black filled it. It was completely vacant.
"Mr. Spock, I got something," Scotty cheered.
Spock and Dr. McCoy ran to Scotty.
"What, Mr. Scott," Spock questioned.
"The aliens are known as Klutons," Scotty remarked.
"Klutons…I've never heard of such a thing." Dr. McCoy replied.
"They come from Klutos II," Scotty answered.
"But that's five light years away, Mr. Scott!" Sulu answered.
"Mr. Sulu, put the ship in warp factor six," Spock ordered.
Sulu nodded and put the ship at warp factor six.
"Mr. Spock, the engines won't be able to keep this speed up for long." Scotty answered.
"I understand that, Mr. Scott; when that point comes that it's becoming a problem, I slow down to warp factor four and gradually down, until the engines can go back up to warp factor six." Spock answered.
"Aye, sir," Scotty answered.
"Spock, what's Klutos II exactly, anyways," Dr. McCoy questioned.
"Scotty, do a search on Klutos II," Spock ordered.
Scotty did so and got results several moments later.
"Klutos II; a planet that's inhabited by creatures known as Klutons. These alien creatures posses the head of a boa constrictor and the body of a tyrannosaurus. They are known for their imperial strength and superiority, considering that every planet in their galaxy has always lost a battle to them. Not one recorded battle of Klutons every losing in space history. Their mission is to do research on human beings from earth and experiment on how they function and work." Scotty read.
"Research is 'to study'," Dr. McCoy spoke.
"And experiment is 'to discover'," Spock added.
"They wanna make Jim a lab experiment!"
"Mr. Spock, we've gotta get to Klutos II!" Scotty cried.
"We'll get there in time, Mr. Scott." Spock remarked.
"And what if they've already done the experiment on Jim? God knows what they'll do to him; they might just kill him!" Dr. McCoy snarled.
Spock simply sighed and continued staring at the screen, avoiding answering anymore questions.
