Narrative:

An aircraft X was climbing to 5000 ft and another aircraft Y (C550) was on a vector at 3000 ft. I saw both aircraft at 3000 ft and told the aircraft that was climbing (aircraft X) to expedite and I issued a turn. I tried to descend the aircraft that was at 3000 ft (aircraft Y), but the aircraft hadn't been switched to my frequency.
