I THOUGHT IT MEANT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT ORDER.

 

[CaptainWacky]

What if someone belays an order, but then decides actually it was a good order and gives it again. Would they say that they belayed it in the Captain's Log, or that they delayed it?

I'd say they were an indecisive captain and ended up a villainous guest star instead of a recurring char with their own ship.
