Captain's log - Stardate 2261.297

There are now considerably fewer asteroids in the belt after Chekov's target practice. Our quarry still hasn't shown themselves, but every asteroid destroyed is one less thing to get in the way of our sensors. Even if they aren't worried about being blown up, they will eventually get worried about discovery.

I don't know how well supplied their ship is, but I'd be wiling to wager we can out wait them if it comes to that. But I doubt we need to worry about having to wait much longer.
