No goodwill here, despite the relative success of his group. That's going to make this harder. He doesn't bother with pleasantries then; instead he goes directly into his report. The investigation with Carolina first. As he speaks, he keeps the report simple but brief: they'd snuck around, seen the power generator, gotten some idea of what it could do before getting out. Miles in particular is familiar enough with the tech to put it in native terms, which may help. He's seen that kind of thing before, after all, and can make reasonable guesses about it.
After he's done with that first part of the report, he pauses. This next part... "Afterwards, we engaged a small group of Cetagandans. And fellow outsiders, pulled in like myself. I assisted in capturing Duv Galeni, a Komarran." More like he strong armed poor Duv into coming because every alternative was worse. But. Details. He continues, keeping his chin up. "Galeni is an old friend of mine. I persuaded him to come back with us."
