Captain's log - Stardate 2261.242

Spock's team didn't take long to install the beacon on Platonius claiming the planet for the Empire under our ship's registry. We are back underway as Alexander understands that it will be some time before we get back to a travel hub. He doesn't seem terribly concerned. I've assigned one of the guest rooms onboard to him and he has requested study materials to learn more about the Empire and its primary worlds. Alexander seems to be particularly fascinated by the variety of sizes and shapes among various races.
