The Unlikeliest Cavalry

Once it's clear he and Estella aren't going to solve the riddle of where the Nexus has hidden the Narada, McCoy decides he'll just have to bite the bullet and contact the first officer. Besides, protocol demands that Spock be informed that he's currently in command. Thank goodness for private transmission frequencies. Last thing he needs is someone

"I'll look..." She taps in a few commands to prep another search, and looks up at McCoy. "Are you hoping to negotiate, or just track him down via prolonged conversation and your basic interdimensional trace? I think he could probably be manipulated into talking to someone, depending on who it was."

(Like a certain Vulcan, though she does not know that.)

"Good, 'cause I was gonna say, the only way you can handle that kind of guy is fighting fire with fire," she says, shaking her head - she returns to the computer for a few seconds, to see what she can come up with on tracking frequencies. (Or rather the spirit inside: Stella is not any kind of hacker, but she does a remarkable job impersonating one owing to be able to talk to what's inside.)

"We should hold off on deciding 'til your friends get here, but I'll keep looking."

Spock never goes anywhere without a way of being contacted, and so McCoy's communicator will now indicate an incoming transmission. If it somehow manages to sound irritated, it's because Spock is simply that good.
