A Father's Joy
Part 49 We Will speak of it no more PG-13
"I would like to thank you for your idea Jonathan. It has saved me having to explain why Admiral Gardner and I are immune to the Orions. That was an inspired idea." President Samuels said as he sipped his coffee. He looked around the table and noted everyone was paired off. Soval and his bodyguard, Archer and his former first officer were side by side clearly together as were, Cardinal Patrick and Dorothy and on his own right Harold. There was no need for pretext anymore their secret was out.
"While we may not always agree sir , I do respect you both. Besides our personal lives are no ones business. We all do our jobs well and that is all that matters. Our private lives are just that private." Archer said.
"Indeed, I am most pleased to learn of your immunity." Soval said. "The reason has little relevance. This misdirection may also protect humans to some degree in the future."
Harold Gardener looked perplexed. "How so Ambassador?"
Soval leaned back and said."If this "Cold Virus" make you immune with few drastic side effects the Orions may decide it is useless to raid human vessels."
"That is an interesting idea. Maybe we should have it on our ships. As a defense." The president suggested.
"That might be unwise sir. Other species might find your cold virus deadly." T'Pol said.
"That is true. Well we all survived and our reputations are in tack. I would say that is enough." Dorothy said. "Again thank you all."
"It was a logical thing to preserve our alliance no thanks is needed. " Soval replied.
"Well I am just glad no one knows." The Cardinal said. "It would have created a scandal and the church would not be pleased with me. I would not wish to be used to embarrass them nor would I wish to damage any of your reputations. You have all done so much for Earth."
"So have you Patrick. It is as the Captain said out private lives belong to us. I wish we could all be a family properly but we made our choices long ago. I am just glad no one can dare degrade them. We all paid for our loves and no one has a right to judge the hard choices we have made." Dorothy stated. "I for one just wish to forget about this. "
"I agree. Vulcan's have a saying." Jonathan Archer said. "All is silence in the family. Well for better or worse we are a family of sorts and I say we follow this rule. Admiral , Mr. President if you agree?"
"I do. " Gardner said He looked at the president and the others all who nodded. "We will speak of it no more."
