IDIC- A New World Order
Part 35 White lies and Deep holes PG
President Adar watched the news and was highly annoyed. He could not believe this was happening. How could his friends be so stupid? He sighed and sipped his coffee. He wondered if there was anything to salvage from this mess. He wondered if perhaps Ambassador Hall had been right that those Freaks on Ceti had altered his mind. Then again, the others had never been to that world. Maybe the Ambassador was simply a fool. His allies had dug a deep hole politically and he would be forced to bury them to save his own hide. He hated politics sometimes.

Charvan walked to his brother's office. Charbaal had asked him to stop by before he went home. It seemed some new intelligence had just come in. Something so inflammatory that could change the balance of power in the system. The com he had received suggested that the Klingons were on the move to expand their empire once mote. The most disturbing part was that they were eying a human colony. Charvan had a feeling his bother might have useful intelligence on this system. What was so important about a small human colony? Charvan hoped his brother's agent would have some useful news.

Sarek made a secure call to Vulcan and spoke to T'Pau herself. The Elder was clearly not pleased with this turn of events. He listened and said nothing allowing her to come to her own logical conclusions. The least of which was that Vulcan had to protect this world for her own sake. He did not want to be accused of favoring his wife and her family.
T'Pau was not pleased at this news. She closed her eyes and sighed. She had known allowing the colony to become more independent had been a mistake. However, at the time the clan mothers had seen no real choice. Their own world was so tightly controlled by the high command that they had needed a safe bolthole. A free independent colony had been the only real choice. Next to Earth this world was the safest place for dissidents. She sighed and said. "Sarek go with your wife and help her. Offer support and protection. Amanda however is correct that it should be an internal matter to some degree. Yet we on Vulcan also have an interest remind the people of those ties we share."
"As you wish Minister, It will be done." Sarek said with a bow. He resisted smiling as he had gotten the approval he needed.
The communication ended and he headed to find Amanda. It would not do for her to become concerned about his plans. He would allow the colony the freedom to choose Vulcan once more. This oldest of his families colonies could not and would not be allowed to fall to the Klingon Empire. That way led to disaster for all of her people and perhaps Vulcan itself.

Garak slipped away. As much as he hated the idea, he knew his people had to know about this shift. He sent a subspace burst to Romulus. In it, he said he would be going to the colony to observe the situation first hand. He explained that his wife's family had ties there. He hated to be doing this but somehow he knew that the Admiral would already have some intelligence on this situation. He hoped to gain information that could help his family.

Amanda, Jamie, Heather and Farina all gathered in her room. The women helped her pack.
"Well this is different." Amanda said with a grin.
"Yes this time it is Sarek who gets to follow you." Jamie said with a smirk.
"I think it will do him some good." Farina said with a smile. "I mean think about it a diplomat's wife is always tagging along."
"True, but it is fun." Amanda said.
"You say that now but give it 20 or more years." Farina said. "Then again it is better then when Felix was in the Fleet. At least I see him more and he is relatively safe."
"I am glad Sarek is not in the military. I would worry all the time if he was." Amanda said agreeing.
Adrianna sighed and sat on the bed. "I know I worry."
All three women looked at her with sympathy. "At least he is not fighting now." Amanda said going to her cousin's side. "Besides in a way Garak is a diplomat of sorts to now."
Adrianna grinned at this. "I will be sure to tell him you said that."
The women all giggled as they finished helping Amanda pack.
"Well so much for a short vacation." Heather said. "I wonder if Martel will wish he had married a Vulcan by the time this is all over."
"Hump he seems to sensible for that." Jamie said to her cousin. "Do not worry girl he came all the way across the galaxy to find you I do not think he will change his mind now. Besides, he is a cultural attaché he will get to explore a new culture. He should like that. After all it is a unique culture one that is the best of both our worlds. Half Vulcan and half human. Who knows he might learn something."
Amanda grinned knowing that was not Martel's real job but, watching Heather smiled was worth the white lie. It was not her place to explain that Martel was as much a spy as Garak.
