Chapter 20th Gems & Pearls

When Captain James T. Kirk walked onto the bridge. Walking over to Mr. Spock at his station. "What's going on Mr. Spock" He asked very softly with his question.

"The tracking device on the Aurora has been activated Captain. It would seem that the bait has been taken with Dr. McCoy and Gem having to be on board."

"Have you changed course Mr. Spock to keep tracking them?" Kirk asked with his order.

"Not as yet Sir. I was waiting on your order. However I will do so now. Lt. Thomas please change course to the coordinates that is placed into the computers for the Orion space sector."

"Yes, sir right away. At Warp eight we will be entering there space under two hours." He states with looking at his navigation system in front of him.

"Very good Mr. Spock. Lets hope we will be able to catch the Orions into the act with another stolen vessel with the goods." Captain Kirk responded with sitting down into his command chair on the bridge.

On board the Aurora

The Shuttle craft was being caught by a tractor beam from the Orion merchant vessel.

Dr. McCoy had received a communications from the Orion vessel to stand down from taken any type of action. So Gem and Dr. McCoy were being careful now. Hoping that the U.S.S. Enterprise will be able to track them.
