Ambassador B inspects a planet that encourages free speech.

Ambassador B inspects a planet keen on free speech, yet no-one speaks of her predecessor, Ambassador A. Stars Fenella Woolgar.

Ambassador B should be inspecting minor planets of far-away suns for the peaceful Interplanetary Commonwealth. 

Instead, her recorded reports reveal that she is veering off-course, pursuing a vendetta and bringing anything but peace.

In this opening episode, she inspects a planet which encourages free speech. But where no one has a word to say about her predecessor, Ambassador A.
