Back on the Enterprise…
It was Day 2 of searching for Jamie, and hopefully, Spock and Dr. McCoy. Captain Kirk was getting irritated with the fact the only way they could locate Jamie, was if she were to contact the ship, which Captain Kirk knew she wouldn't do anytime soon. Sulu and Chekov were deeply intent with during a visual scan of the planet's surface to see if they could find Jamie that way, but so far, nothing was coming up.
Scotty walked over to Captain Kirk from Spock's station.
"Any luck with those readings, Scotty?" Captain Kirk questioned.
"No, sir; I still can't find anything about where the little gal could've possibly gone." Scotty answered.
"…keep trying, Scotty,"
"Aye, sir,"
Scotty walked back to his station and continued reading possibly readings that may or may not be coming from Jamie.
"Lieutenant Uhura, any communications from Spock or Dr. McCoy?" Captain Kirk questioned.
"No, sir," Uhura answered.
"Mr. Sulu, Mr. Chekov; status report," Captain Kirk ordered.
"So far nothing, sir," Sulu answered.
"Well, do something," Captain Kirk growled; he was growing impatient.
Sulu and Chekov nodded and went back to work.
"That girl's gotta be somewhere," Scotty spoke.
"She could be anywhere, Scotty, that's the problem." Captain Kirk answered.
"Aye, sir,"
"There's got to be some other way to get into contact with her."
"She's not gonna answer, Captain; she'll know we'll just beam her up, otherwise."
"Believe me, she'll be in a huge amount of trouble, once I get a hold of her."
"She's only doing this out of love, Captain,"
"She'll could get killed; I'm not gonna let the death of a 15 year old girl haunt me for the rest of my life."
"Jamie will be fine, Captain, but what about Spock and Dr. McCoy?"
Captain Kirk paused and thought for a minute; he'd been so focused on trying to pinpoint Jamie, he had completely forgot about looking for Spock and Dr. McCoy.
"Mr. Sulu, change area locations and try to locate Spock and Dr. McCoy.
"Aye, sir," Sulu answered.
Sulu and Chekov changed their focus on finding Spock and Dr. McCoy for a while; maybe they'd be more successful in finding them than they were currently with trying to locate Jamie.
