Clueless | Jim Kirk | STAR TREK BEYOND

Radioactive Jewellery

Location- USS Franklin Bridge

Jim and the others make their way into the bridge. He made sure Carolynn has had food supplements and drunk enough water.

Jim made his wife sit in the Captain's chair, and is himself perched on the Helmsman's chair. Carolynn has changed into a very old Starfleet uniform that probably belonged to one of the crew members of the USS FRANKLIN. It is old, but atleast it isn't a dress. Better that her original gold dress uniform. She is sitting comfortably, her feels folded in Indian style.

Jaylah is leaning on the left side of the captain's chair, Scotty has his hands on the top of the same seat.

Bones and Spock are walking around, both in deep thoughts. Chekov is beside the communications console.

Scotty and Jim are as usual arguing.

"We should wait until we are absolutely sure." Scotty says.

"No. We have to get the crew back now." Jim says moving his right hand with emphasis. "Chekov has the coordinates that could lead us to Krall's base. So we go." He adds.

"Yeah, but James, how do we know that Krall was at the base when she called him?" Carolynn speaks up, making the Captain look at her.

She walks up to him and looks him in the eyes. Trying to put forward her argument without triggering the frustrated man. "And even if he was, we don't know if the crew is with him?"

"Or for even still alive." Bones adds earning a deathly glare from the girl.

Carolynn watches her husband look at the ground and leave a sigh. She holds his arm comfortingly and whispers, "Calm down, Bubba." Jim doesn't reply. Carolynn rubs his arm soothingly and lets go of it.

She looks up at Spock as he starts talking.

"Mr. Chekov, can you reconfigure the search perimeters in order to compensate for this formula?" Spock says walking to communications console. He starts entering the formula into the console.

Chekov clears his throat and joins the commander. "Aye, Commander, but what is this formula?" The Chief Navigation Office asks.

"It is Vokaya, Mr. Chekov." Spock begins and all heads turn towards him. Jim too looks up at the Vulcan.

"A mineral, unique to Vulcan which emits low level radiation." Spock adds as everyone listens to him with interest.

"Oh. I've to filter out all other energy emissions." Chekov says and gets to work.

Scotty, with furrowed brows and 'O'ed mouth, is about to say something, but Bones beats him to it with his, "Spock, what the hell would a Vulcan mineral be doin' away out here?"

"Where're you going with this?" Jim speaks up.

"Lieutenant Uhura wears a Vokaya amulet which I presented to her as a token of my affection and respect." Spock explains making people present in the room furrows their brows.

"You gave upor girlfriend radioactive jewellery." Bones blurts out bluntly. And when he put it like that it sounded bad.

Jim and Carolynn both look at the doctor in confusion. Not sure how they should react to it.

The others, Scotty and Jaylah are dumbfounded too.

"The emission is harmless, doctor. But the unique signature makes it very easy to identify." Spock says as if his explanation made everything alright.

"You gave your girlfriend a tracking device." Bones simplifies it, ruining it even more that it already was.

Jim folds his hands in agony. Scotty runs his eyeballs around, not sure how he should react. Jaylah looks like she is trying really hard to understand what is going on. Chekov is dumbfounded as well.
