IDIC- A New World Order

Part 34 Uh Oh Big Dogs and Juicy Bones PG-13

The scandal was quickly forgotten as the group began to eat breakfast. There were more important things to learn about and deal with.

Jamie com line went off and she picked it up. She listened to the call and sighed. "Of course we will come at once. No, it is not a problem at all. I am certain that we can find a way to help you out. We can meet you at the council chambers in a day or so. No, Amanda and Adrianna have a month or so before their offspring should arrive. They should be able to come along. Yes, it is important. I will speak to you soon."

Amanda and Adrianna looked over at Jamie. Something was clearly wrong.

"What has happened mother?" Adrianna asked. She was clearly noting the worry on Jamie's face. Heather came over and joined them. She been in the other room and it was clear she to had gotten a call.

"Jamie we have to go. This could be a serious issue for the colonies." Heather said.

"I know Heather we have to find a way to get there. All of us. Amanda we are going to need you and Heather as well. This is going to require a united front."

Martel looked at his wife Heather clearly not understanding what was going on. He was still confused about this family and there roles. He noted that his wife was clearly listening to the one called Jamie. He looked at Sarek who seemed just as confused.

"We had better pack then. Have they called the entire council to meet then?" Amanda asked.

"Yes along with all the clan mothers and their heirs. This could be a major problem Amanda. We never had to face such a choice. I can not believe that they would be so bold." Jamie said. "The only positive is that the Klingons asked us to join them."

Sarek and Garak both stiffened.

"What!" The both said at the same time.

"Oh, I suppose I did not say what was wrong?" Jamie said. It was clear she was shaken by this news.

"What is this about Klingons?" Garak demanded. "Where are they?"

"I agree we should go at once and eject them." Felix offered. "I can have a few ships ready in a few hours which colony has been invaded?"

Heather sighed and rolled her eyes. "Wait a second Ambassador they have not invaded at least not yet. They have according to the message we just received invited our colony at Alatir 7 to join them."

Sarek stiffened. "That colony was founded by Vulcan."

"Yes it was." Amanda said "But remembers it merged back in 2057. The colony was transferred to my family then. The Clan mothers on Vulcan wanted it away from the High Commands restrictions. At that point, most of the population was from Carbon Creek. Human / Vulcan Hybrids that the Vulcan thought were human. It was done to protect the colony. It was one of the first colonies to be accepted into protectorate status with the newly formed collation. Then it became a defacto Federation colony when that was formed."

"This could be a problem Garak said. Vulcan will have a hard time defending it because of the so-called human population but there is no way you can let the Klingons or the rest of the Federation in on the truth. I am not so sure I want to even tell my people the truth." Garak said. "There is no way they would buy the story of one lone Vulcan colonizing Earth behind the High Commands back. It is just too impossible to believe."

Amanda glared at Garak. His wife Adrianna folded her arms and said, "Oh, why is that. I mean just think about it for a moment Garak. You are a single individual and already you have found and formed a family. You have a son a wife and a child on the way. All of this is less then a year?"

"Ok maybe…a Romulan could find a way but face it Mestral was Vulcan." He smirked.

Amanda shook her head at this. "Well I suppose you have a point it did take him four years." She winked at her cousin's husband.

Both Garak and Felix began to laugh clearly getting the joke.

Martel and Sarek looked confused.

"Stop teasing them." Jamie said, "They have figured it out themselves. Besides you have to remember Mestral was just meeting humans for the first time."

"True, But four years was a while. Then again he was likely being overly protective." Amanda said and gave her own mate a fond look. "We all know how that can be."

"If Maggie was half as bold as you my dear it may have taken Mestral four years to come up with a logical reason to bond." Sarek replied.

"Ouch! You have a sharp wit." Felix said "For a Vulcan."

The group laughed all except Sarek and Martel who merely raised their brows.

Martel was the one to break the laughter. "What shall we do about this Shaile?"

Sarek was about to speak when Jamie interrupted.

"With respect Ambassador this is a matter for our clan to deal with. We must first see what the situation is before we make our decision. We can not act with haste else we endanger our people."

Sarek stiffened and knew he had been rebuked. He glared and said," We have a mutual defense pact."

"Indeed we do. However, we do not wish to start a war. Besides who is to say it might not be in our best interests to trade with the Klingons?"

Garak stiffened and Felix bristled at this.

"You would ally yourselves with the enemy?" Garak said stiffening.

"That might not be wise." Sarek said softly. There was an implicit threat in his stance.

"Well mother it looks like you managed to unite them on something." Adrianna said.

All the males stiffened.

"Talking is not creating an alliance and one can trade with a rival." Amanda said firmly. "While it may be like watching a two headed snake it might well be in the colonies interest to appear friendly. We do not want an open conflict. Sarek you know that the Federation can not afford a war right now and frankly they are not likely to support an independent world against the likes of the Klingons."

"Vulcan will not allow your people to be enslaved." Sarek stated.

"I can guarantee that my people would not support the Klingons expanding their territories either." Felix agreed.

He looked at Garak who sighed. "I am certain it would not be in the Empires best interest either. But, they might think that if the Klingons are interested then that world must have something of great value on it."

"Great now we have to big dogs eyeing our world as a bone." Heather said with a sigh. "We need to move the fleet in. Maybe a seeing the ships would change their ideas of an easy conquest."

"Ships?" Sarek asked.

Amanda glared at her cousin. "No we need to find out what is going on first. Jamie we do not want to go in and start something for no good reason. Violence is not the answer."

Sarek felt sudden pride in his mate. He could see she was embracing the disciplines and philosophies of Surak.

"Then again we should have them be on alert just on case."

Sarek sighed she was still so very human at times.

I am human as well as Vulcan Sarek Deal with it. This is not a matter for you to solve. It is a First Nations Council matter and I sit on the Council.

You are my wife and I will keep you safe.

You can come along Sarek but it is our mission.

As you, wish ….for now.

Stubborn, and illogical but I love you anyway. Amanda sent.

"Well let us get ready to go then. I will have to let my father know I am going away for a bit." Amanda said.

"I will inform Skon and the council. " Sarek said.

"I would like to come along." Felix said. "Lady Jamie your people our allies it might help to have a show of support."

Jamie considered the idea. "Agreed as long as you understand this is not for you and Sarek to decide. It is an internal matter. Your friendship is valued but we have to work this out on our own."

Felix frowned and then nodded. "Support only until you ask for more."

"Agreed." Sarek said "However as your son I believe Garak has a right to be more involved."

Garak grinned at this. "Yes I do don't I. I am coming to Mother. The Fires help any Klingons who threatens you or my family."

"Behave my son. Nevertheless, Sarek is right. You have a place at my side. Perhaps you will now see the value of it." Jamie said.

Garak moved to the elder's side. "I always did mother. I am finding it is nice to be able to say that again."

Jamie blushed and nodded. The group separated to pack it was going to be along hard trip.
