Quotable moments in Andromeda

I'd find it a lot easier to be incensed with Liam if we had more info about exactly what he'd shared with Verand and the implications thereof. "Nav-points and data" doesn't tell me much - and by the time we do this mission, we already have ambassador and civilian exchanges between Aya and the Nexus, Nexus scientists on Havarl, quests for Ryder to retrieve precious angaran relics, and Jaal has full insider's knowledge of everything the Pathfinder is doing. IIRC, Aya already knew about the Ai's previous attempts to settle on Eos, and that the monoliths had recently been activated there - so it's not like they don't have their own recon going. Add to that Ryder's free pass to the angaran Resistance HQ and participation in their activities, the Moshae taking Ryder to Aya's vault, etc. - and it's pretty hard to imagine what kind of info Liam might have shared with Verand that 1) would be a major security breach, 2) they don't already know, and 3) they couldn't have gotten via other means.

If the Nexus has proper security protocols (as we understand them) in place and Liam has access to only the info he has a need to know, what would that look like? The Nexus also exiled a lot of its former inhabitants, many of whom have since turned to crime - those people could also potentially have information that could pose a security threat if revealed to an enemy, the former head of Nexus security is sitting on Kadara's throne, and let's not forget Spender's transgressions or Addison's hired mercs.

I think the writer's overall goal and spirit of Liam's LM is that Liam screwed up in a way that was intended to demonstrate his willingness to reach out and bet on people. Counting on people was his whole shtick, his response to the post-mission chewing out. In the end, I guess my interpretation of this is that Liam's transgression is foolish, but not so egregious that he'd be convicted of a capital crime.

I could agree with the bolded. They clearly knew that Sera would be polarizing; but I'm not sure they're always able to predict how people will react to the characters, especially since a certain amount of that reaction is predicated on individual's assumptions of facts not in evidence. Personally, I tend to embrace a degree of ambiguity in fiction, as it allows me more latitude in how I experience it.

ETA: As for Peebee's deal, I don't really see that as being all that different from the multitude of gravity wells Ryder jumps into - you don't know where they'll lead, what you'll encounter when you get there, what you'll find, or how you'll get out. Yet Ryder and squaddies do that again and again throughout the game.
