If Spock is here, then his presence remains unknown to us.

Cat dammit, Spock! Nothing’s ever easy with you, is it? Where the hell is that good-for-nothing sehlat?!

Perhaps we have been thinking about this all wrong, Doctor. As a Vulcan, Spock is entirely logical, is he not?
Objective ID

McCoy
Dialogue
He’s only half Vulcan, but yes, logical enough. If you discount the occasional zoomies.

And Spock is also a cat.

Correct. Though technically he’s half cat, half le-catya. He’s still partial to Earth seafood, however. He loves pike.

So what would a cat deem entirely logical to do?

McCoy
Dialogue
I’d have to put on my zoological hat for a second. But a cat would… well, we all would: eat, sleep, preen, and, um, procreate. If logic was all that mattered, of course.

Now hang on a minute. If that’s true, and he was also in the throes of purr farr… By Jove, you’ve got it!

Does Spock have a romantic partner?

You bet he does! He recently got back together with his fiancée, T’Pring.

McCoy
Dialogue
… Sorry, the shiny Crystal caught my eye. But alas, still no Spock on sensors. It doesn’t help that I don’t even know what vessel he escaped in. None of the Enterprise’s shuttles were missing.

Dialogue
Wait a second. Maybe I was wrong about Spock – it wouldn’t be the first time. Maybe it takes more Crystal than I thought to get his attention. We’ve gotta break through that Vulcan discipline!

Those Klingon ships out there – they’re stacked to the brim with the stuff. If stealing it doesn’t tempt him, then maybe the threat to Federation-Klingon relations will!

Sorry. It’s just those Klingon ships – some of them look like birds.

Any tactical advice for approaching the Klingons, Doctor?

Use your phasers like a laser pointer and you should be good.

I spoke to some old friends that live out here – even had Scotty sniff around his favorite bars. But no Spock.

Doctor, a Federation Patrol is approaching our position.

That’s not Starfleet – at least not anymore. Wildcats.

Let’s see what this ship of yours can do.

You do realize this is Klingon territory? We’re not exactly on head-bunting terms with those beastly tigers.

I was not certain of the political situation, but I am not surprised. Still, this system is an excellent source of Crystal.

I see. You’re going to mine Crystal in an attempt to lure out Spock. It’s a long shot, but it might work. I certainly don’t have any better ideas.

What quantity do you think we should mine, Doctor?

For a cat like Spock? It wouldn’t take much. I’d wager 15 3★ Crystal. He’s nothing if not frugal.

Phase

Character
McCoy
Dialogue
Alright, Commander, you’re an expert at finding stray cats. At least your counterpart is when they aren’t catnapping. Spock’s been gone five days, so he could be practically anywhere in the Federation.
Objective ID

Character
McCoy
Dialogue
Or beyond. We’d better begin by ruling out the Sol system. I doubt he stuck around here, what with the Enterprise still in the vicinity, but it doesn’t hurt to check.

McCoy
Dialogue
If he is here, he’s likely lying low on a station in the asteroid belt. We’d better mind how we go, though – the belt is a haven for pirates and wildcats.

Where did you get this ship, Commander? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen technology quite like it. I can’t wait to see your vetbay.

Commander, I have an idea, based upon my observations of Felis catus in our own universe.

Ahem. Doctor, would I be right in assuming that your species – and Spock’s – are motivated by shiny objects?

We’re not Ferengi grimalkin, if that’s what you’re getting at!

No. But is there a certain… allure to such items?

Of course there is! We’re cats.

Then I have a plan. We shall set course for Antonehk.
