Ryder, I've been reviewing all the messages you forwarded from the angaran populace. It's encouraging to see that even in these initial phases of contact, we have supporters among them. Though it's equally clear we have our work cut out for us in winning over the rest. But I'm confident you're on the right track. I would have been surprised if the angara hadn't expressed skepticism. First contact is a complicated situation and if roles were reversed, I'd be suspicious of them if they arrived on our doorstep. Thank you for passing these messages along. They'll provide invaluable insight as we navigate these tricky waters.

Ryder, I've been reviewing all the messages you forwarded from the angaran populace. On the one hand, it's encouraging to see the positive reaction. But on the other hand, this is historically very unlikely. Any time two species meet for the first time, there is bound to be suspicion and even outright fear. From what I've heard of the angara, they are not a naive people. I highly doubt your reception is this positive. I wonder if perhaps you've been selective in the messages you sent? I needed the unvarnished truth. That's critical if there's to be any hope of avoiding miscalculations in our relationship with the angara. I'll pursue my own avenues to gather more information.
