Evan leaned back in his chair, his sharp gaze fixed on Rajesh's hologram. The room was dim, illuminated only by the soft blue glow of Aurora's interface.
"Rajesh," Evan began, his voice calm but commanding, "don't reply to the Federation. Let Daniel handle this first. I want to see how they react to him."
Rajesh frowned. "Are you sure? Ignoring them could be risky."
Evan waved his hand dismissively. "Risky, yes, but necessary. If we jump in too early, we lose the chance to study their approach. For now, stay put and act as if nothing happened."
Rajesh nodded reluctantly. "Understood. But I'll keep my channels open in case something comes up."
