OOC: The ship is in high orbit, not low orbit.

The Harlothian bridge crew look at each other in confusion as the PCCU message translates.

Har'aal: "I do not believe that the translation system is properly working yet."

Science officer: "I don't see any errors in the system. I think they're actually asking us for food. We still need time to get replies working though."

Har'aal: "If this is a joke, it not very amusing. If this is how these creatures greet all races when they first meet, then they are downright strange. Scan their pod, make sure there is no treachery."

The Harlothian ship begins a detailed scan of the pod, checking it for explosives or any kind of weaponry. The pod is then brought aboard, and the contents taken to the sickbay for analysis to determine its edibility. The Mal'Vas continues to orbit, taking readings as the crew finishes the translation system to allow two-way communication...

OOC: Seriously kitty? It's been expressly stated that this is a science vessel/scout. Those ships do not have high class meals, nor do they bring extras to drop off to beggars. The best you'll get is maybe half a hay bale. Which will probably be inedible to humans, or at best extremely unpleasant to eat.

(Also, should Harlothian delicacies actually be traded, it's unlikely that mono-gastric humans will even be able to fully appreciate the intricacies of Harlothian food.{unless you want to regurgitate it and eat it again, which I doubt})
