Captain's log - Stardate 2261.689

We've entered orbit around an uncharted K type planet. According to Norman, he is supposed to beam down with the captain, chief science officer, chief medical officer, communications officer and navigator. I made the mistake of asking why and now I'm going to have to cool down before we beam down to the pressurized area that has contains life support systems suitable for humanoid races.

Removing the brains of my top officers and inserting them into android bodies that would then be controllable by the collective mind? Not happening. Interesting concept though.
