Yes and no. It's easiest for me to sense the new arrivals and get there the fastest. And if it's a dangerous individual or there are bad reactions to the bad news, then I'm equipped to handle it as well.
If it's really bad, I pull the Loki Maneuver. That's a thirty minute free-fall in the empty space between dimensions. If they only need a moment to simmer their temper down, then I can use the "lets see how you are after a timeout on an uninhabited planet" route.
The caramel chip cookies would be useful for that moment too.
