Chapter 27 Gems & Pearls
On board the Enterprise. Science Officer Spock was able to listen in to the bug that was placed in McCoy's ear. They were talking about the cover story of McCoy and his wife are smugglers in the region.
Captain Kirk came onto the bridge to ask his friend on whether the plan is working so far.
"Affirmative Jim. They are currently in Captain's Serena's cabin with Bella Rose the under cover operator."
"Excellent. No doubt a number of other vessels in the area will be keeping a close eye on them." Kirk says with sitting down in his command chair nervously for his friend Leonard McCoy and his wife Gem.
Meanwhile at the Communications board with his retired wife Commander Nyota Uhura has been scanning the air waves in the region for anything abnormal.
Captain Kirk looks over at the station to see her in her flowing gown instead of the uniform busy with her listening to different bans through her ear piece.
He gets up to walk over to her. "Uhura, anything?" He asked as she looks up at her husband with taking out the ear piece to hear him.
"Nothing Jim. Just a lot of space chatter meaning nothing at all." She states with a wide smile before going back to work. "I will let you know when I have something to report."
"Of course." He says in a somber type of mood.
