Commentary on Foreigners (c. 1420), Ming Official He Ao He Ao was a censor, a high official in the provincial bureaucracy of the Ming Empire. The censorate was part of the central state. Responsible directly to the emperor, it was tasked with rooting out corruption at the local level. This document, in which He describes the threats posed by Europeans (called Feringis), is an official government report to his superiors. Identify the factors He used to mark foreigners as different, and evaluate their relative significance. Pay special attention to his language and the terms he used. What specific threats resulting from European influence does He identify, and what remedies does he propose? Explain the distinction this document draws between the way trade was conducted in the past (in the “time of our ancestors”) and in the present. What is He’s view of commerce? The Feringis are most cruel and crafty. Their arms are superior to those of other foreigners. Some years ago they came suddenly to the city of Canton, and the noise of their cannon shook the earth [these were cannon-shots fired as a salute by the fleet of Fernão Peres]. Those who remained at the post-station [places where foreigners were lodged] disobeyed the law and had intercourse with others. Those who came to the Capital were proud and struggled [among themselves?] to become head. Now if we allow them to come and go and to carry on their trade, it will inevitably lead to fighting and bloodshed, and the misfortune of our South may be boundless.

SAUCER SECTION RECOVERY: In accordance with the PRIME DIRECTIVE, it is imperative that the ENTERPRISE saucer section, now resting on Veridian III, be recovered or dismantled to prevent any potential contamination of the local environment and ensure compliance with STARFLEET’s non-interference policies. Part IX FINAL REMARKS The loss of the Enterprise is a profound and deeply personal tragedy for me. The Enterprise was more than just a ship; she was a symbol of our mission, our ideals, and our commitment to exploration and peace. The destruction of such a fine vessel, a ship that carried us through so many challenges and triumphs, is a loss that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. As her captain, I must accept full responsibility for the events that led to her demise. While the circumstances were extraordinary and the threats we faced were formidable, the ultimate responsibility for the ship’s safety rests with me. I will reflect on these events and learn from them, ensuring that the lessons drawn from this tragedy will guide my future actions and decisions. Despite the outcome, I must express my unwavering confidence in the crew of the Enterprise. Their actions in the face of overwhelming odds were nothing short of exemplary. In particular, Commander William Riker demonstrated extraordinary leadership and tactical acumen during the battle. He did everything within his power to save the ship and her crew, and his decisions undoubtedly saved countless lives. Commander Riker’s bravery, quick thinking, and dedication were critical in ensuring that the majority of our crew survived this ordeal. While the Enterprise herself may be lost, the spirit and resolve of her crew remain unbroken. I am proud of every member of this crew, and I am confident that together, they will face whatever challenges lie ahead with the same courage and determination that defined our time aboard the Enterprise.
The cyber attack significantly weakened the ENTERPRISE’s structural integrity, particularly in its warp core containment fields. The damage sustained during the battle triggered a warp core breach. Commander RIKER ordered an emergency saucer separation to preserve crew lives. The stardrive section was subsequently destroyed in the resulting explosion. Despite the separation, the shockwave from the stardrive section’s destruction destabilized the saucer’s orbit, causing it to crash land on the surface of VERIDIAN III. The cyber attack's effects had also compromised several key systems in the saucer section, including navigation and impulse control, resulting in an uncontrolled descent. The saucer section suffered extensive damage, rendering it irrecoverable for further use. Fortunately, due to the crew’s training and emergency procedures, the majority of personnel survived with minimal casualties.
