Captain's log - Stardate 2262.055
The discussion with Mother Horta went well. Her suggestion is that we take four of her offspring to the closest planet we have in mind, which would be the tritanium laden one. We will put the youngsters on the surface and let them stay there for one week exploring, tunneling, and eating. One requirement is that we check on them daily to make sure the planet isn't having an ill effect on them. After that, we will bring them back to commune with Mother Horta and she will make her final decision then.
