Captain's log - Stardate 2262.066
Bones has renamed Whiny to Sulky. Through Spock, Sulky requested to be brought back aboard to wait in the force field chamber until his siblings are ready to leave. Even with the bad report he's bound to give to Mother Horta, I think the more glowing reports from the other three will overrule him.
Spock's melding with each of the Horta daily. The only complaint voiced by the other three is that they have to leave in a few days. Meanwhile, the daily gathering of tritanium nuggets is keeping Scotty very happy.
