Captain's log - Stardate 2261.8225
The communications between the ship and the planet have cleared without explanation. Also not explained is where Bones is and why Spock wants me to beam down to the surface. He says a decision needs to be reached that he judges only the ship's captain can make.
I'm confident that Spock is intelligent enough not to attempt to double-cross me but, just in case, I've left Scott in charge with orders not to beam Spock back aboard until I'm back aboard myself. No sense taking unnecessary chances, after all.
