Captain's log - Stardate 2261.295

Chekov has requested permission to begin targeting and destroying the smaller asteroids in the vicinity of the larger ones that might be our quarry's hiding place. I like the way he's thinking here and permission has been granted.

Spock has said that no more than fifteen of the asteroids in the belt appear suitable for the vessel to have landed on and, out of those, he has narrowed it down to the four most likely. Time to go hunting. They can't evade our scanners forever and I can be very patient.
