A Father's Joy
Part 37 Old Enemies / New Allies
Jonathan Archer looked over the new plans. He could hardly recognize the original NX-01 design in it. The only thing that was remotely similar was the engine and the nacelles. He sighed as he wondered briefly what his father would have thought of all the changes? At least his cabin was in the same place. However he was pleased to note it was doubled and then some in size. He smiled as he thought of the arguments he had to have with Admiral Gardner over this. He had adamantly refused to have T'Pol in separate quarters. She was his wife and there was no way she was sleeping on an other deck away from him. He had found much to T'Pols silent amusement logical reason for them to be together. Star Fleet had threatened to remove T'Pol from his ship and he had lost his temper.
"Fine, Then I will resign. You all know Vulcans need to be with their mates."
Gardner and President Samuel had smirked seeing pleased at this thought at least until Jonathan smiled back and said coolly. I was thinking of running for the office of president. The Tories have offered me my home district as a riding as Jenny Trance is retiring this fall. What do you think? I think it would be interesting to be more involved in making alliances. I think T'Pol would make a great first lady don't you?"
The fact that he would win sent fear through both his enemies minds. Gardner did not want him as a boss and Samuels wanted to keep his job. So he was getting everything he wanted.
T'Pol came in carrying a tray of soup and bread. She set a small pot of steaming tea on the table. "Jonathan you must eat."
"I am not to hungry T'Pol. Come here a minute would you. I was wondering what you think of this section being for the science department?"
T'Pol knew from experience he would fret until she checked out his concerns. She came over and looked at the blue print. "No that is not going to work. We need this section."
"I thought so. So I have to go argue with Commander Franks again. Lord you would think that they would listen?"
"After you eat. Come before the soup gets cold."
Jonathan sighed and went to eat. There was noting worse then cold vegetable soup.

Soval listened to the report. "Martel I want you to go speak to Commander Talas at the Andorian Embassy. Thank him for this information. I will be certain that Commodore Archer gets it. Take him this data disk."
"Shaile are you certain?"
"Yes, Talas is a trusted friend of Commander Shran and Shran is a friend of Jonathan Archer. He would not mislead us in this. We should be as open with them as they are with us. Only then can this alliance work. Besides this information in no way revels the source."
"Yes Shaile." Martel said "I will leave at once." He saluted and slipped out. He knew this information was to sensitive to be sent by transmission. However he still felt odd in helping the Andorians.
