Captain's log - Stardate 2262.059

The force field area is ready and the four Horta have been beamed aboard. Spock checked with them and they seem quite pleased with their accommodations - even though at least one of them had a less than positive reaction to the feeling of being teleported. Nothing serious - he just didn't care for the sensation.

The Horta mother sent two males and two females for this survey trip. We'll be in orbit of the tritanium planet soon and let the four of them loose to explore and sample how the soil tastes there.
