Captain's log - Stardate 2262.057
Spock and Scott are working out the logistics of moving the Horta young to the other planet. With the corrosive acids they excrete, they need to be kept out of contact with our ship's surfaces for their safety as well as ours.
The best suggestion was to wall in a section of the shuttlebay with force fields, fill that area with the soil from the Horta's planet and then teleport the youngsters into it. That will keep them both fed and contained. They should have the area ready for the Horta tomorrow.
