Also, Excuse, please note that a main reason Ambassador and I don't get along is that we don't understand each other.

Years into these conversations, and he's still thinking I'm some kind of religious nut.

Please be aware that if things are progressing slowly, a contributing factor is that Hopper has done an *incredible* amount of damage to the process of trying to find trust and understanding along the way.

Since nobody in this little drama has ever bothered to talk to me directly, I'm left speaking to ghosts, and never knowing quite who it is I'm even talking to.

A vast number of times Hopper has said terrible things.. and I thought I was talking to Ambassador. And reacted as such. Because I couldn't concieve of anyone other than him saying those things.

Garbage In, Garbage Out. You can't expect someone to perform wonders with bad information.

And if I'm going to be condemned at the end of all of this, a fate I have plenty of evidence for, I'm going to take Captain Picards's motto, that "If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we are."

And it's very clear that Ambassador doesn't understand me.

And truth be told, I don't fully understand him, or you.

All I can do is strive to try and set the record straight to the best of my ability. And hope at the end that the universe is fair.

A faint hope, at best.
