Yet again, everyone on the USS Enterprise was in motion. It seemed like most of their time recently was spent in that constant state of alert. Lieutenant Uhura gathered together all of the notes, equations and formulas that had enabled the first transport bringing Scott and McCoy home, then transmitted them compressed on a tight beam subspace band to the new Enterprise, repeating the transmission as many times as it took to get it through in whole. That was inside of the first ten minutes.
The next half hour was spent putting together the strongest subspace communicator/beacon they had. Ultimately, all information that was sent by either communications or via the transporter was essentially digital; with something strong enough to lock onto, hopefully the other Scotty would be able to pull McCoy aboard. The best this Enterprise could offer at this point was to act as a subspace beacon herself so that the signal would be as strong as possible.
Then it came to getting McCoy in order. The doctor was in rough shape, though he made the best show of it that he could under the circumstances. At this point, it likely wouldn't be much of a difference if he took something along, so he went to his own quarters, as well as Spock's and Kirk's, and gathered a few of their personal items. If they did get trapped in that other universe for an extended period of time, they could at least have something of their own worlds and lives with them.
Another risk. But then again, it seemed like risk was the order of the day.
