Captain's log - Stardate 2261.841

I've instructed Bones that, unless he gets his orders directly from me, he is not to beam down with any landing party - period. Spock and Scotty were present, so they are both fully aware of this procedural change and will be held accountable. Bones noticed Spock has been keeping more distance than usual, but didn't question it in public.

When we had some private time, I filled Bones in on the threat I made to have Spock fulfill consort duties. I don't believe I've ever seen Bones laugh so hard.
