Riker's Mission Report (Angosia Conditional Aid)
A concise, formal shipboard record assembled on the USS Enterprise bridge at Captain Picard's instruction. The document captures a single, non-negotiable diplomatic directive — that Federation technical and rehabilitative aid will be provided only if Angosia's government survives and accepts responsibility. Manifest as a brief entry destined for the mission file or ship logs, the report functions as a routable command record created at the officers' consoles while Picard, Riker, Number One, Wesley, and Crusher close the engagement. Its presence stiffens the bridge's atmosphere as policy becomes paperwork.

Purpose
To serve as the Enterprise's official mission record documenting the conditional offer of Federation assistance to Angosia and to provide a formal, routable account for command and diplomatic review.
Significance
The report converts Picard's moral ultimatum into an accountable, traceable command decision: it anchors post-mission political consequences, shifts responsibility back to Angosia, and institutionalizes the ethical judgment enacted on the bridge.
