Part 50

The news of the trade agreement reached Earth's government two days after it had gone to the Romulans. The shock was deep. Many wondered if perhaps they would lose this colony to the Klingons. However they had no recourse short of starting a war. Altair 7 was privately owned. Several members of the administration wanted to call it treason

John Grayson was shocked at the news. He was also very proud of his daughter skill and cunning. He could not believe the trade agreement she had worked out his company stood to make millions. The reporters were clamoring for an interview.

"Mr. Grayson is it true that your daughter has giving our colony at Altair 7 to the Klingons." Julian Jackson called. He was from IBC and was always eager to give the Grayson family trouble.

"Julian it is good to see you. My daughter is not giving Altair 7 to the Klingons. As to the colony Altair 7 is an independent colony that happens to be allied with Earth. It is as I am certain you aware a privately help entity. It has been in our family for many years." John Grayson paused. "It is very important to our family and frankly I resent your implications. We, that is the Grayson family have strong ties to the colony and would never give it away. However, if we did we would be within our rights as it belongs to us."

The reporter moved forward and said. "Altair 7 is a human colony."

John Grayson faced the reporters and replied. "No sir it is not."

All the reporters looked at him in shock. John sighed for a moment he truly wanted to explain the truth but he could not. Instead he gave the standard family line. "Altair 7 is a multispecies colony, it has species from every planet in the Federation."

"Starfleet protects the colony and we have extensive trade how can having the Klingons there be a good thing?" Paula Pieters asked.

'Well Ms. Pieters I think it is a great idea. Consider what this could mean for all of us in the Alpha quadrant. It is a chance at real peace. It is in our self interest to trade with the Klingon Empire. If we are tied to each other economically then it is a lot harder to go to war. I would rather trade for the goods and resources we need then fight over them. After all, the only thing either side desires is to live and grow. Lady Amanda, Lady Jamie, Lady Heather and Lady Adrianna realize this. This realization has caused them to seek a peaceful coexistence with the Klingons. The Klingons will see we can live in peace. They will find a way to get what they need from other nations without threats and the monies we do not spend on war machines can go into peaceful exploration. The Klingons are a very old and wise civilization. I for one would love to learn more about them. Trading with them may be the best chance we have to learn more in a peaceful and perhaps even profitable way."

This explanation made many think. John picked up his notes and said. "Now if you will excuse me I have a meeting with Ambassador Skon and Felix."

The reporters shouted more questions but John Grayson ignored them.

The Klingon High council was shocked at the news of the treaty. The Chancellor was considering the ramifications of the treaty with care. The council however was pleased with the terms which were very beneficial to them. There was also the fact that many of their enemies seemed to be considering this a positive thing. The council would support the treaty for the moment.

The news report of one of Earth's clan leaders supporting the treaty and calling his people wise interested the chancellor. That was unusual for a human and the high chancellor was interested. Perhaps the humans were not the barbarians they believed them to be? Perhaps this clan could become an ally of his people.

"Amanda this treaty you have devised is well written and a coup. I should not have doubted your skills my wife." Sarek said.

Amanda laid her head against his chest. "That is all right my husband. I think perhaps you forgot I was not simply a teacher."

Sarek held her and said. "I did. You are so much a part of me Amanda and so very human. I sometimes underestimate you and forget you are more them a part of me."

"I could be offended by that husband. However, I am actually pleased."

Sarek pulled back and looked at her confusion showing on his face.

"If you my mate forget so then does everyone else. That means my roles as advisor to the council does not interfere with your job as ambassador. While I am honored to serve my clan and family my truest most important job is to be your helpmate and wife."

Sarek was suddenly almost overwhelmed with emotion. "Amanda I—"

"Sarek I love you. I do not want my connections to endanger you or make your job harder."

"They do not. You my wife are my most precious possession."

Amanda sighed at this. "I am a part of you and you are a part of me Sarek. We own each other. I must do my job as ruler just as you must. However I will always support you."

Sarek nodded and said. "I will always support you my wife. I will never again forget you to are a ruler. Please forgive me for failing to support you as you have always supported me."

Amanda was shocked at the apology but she hugged Sarek. 'It is as much my fault as yours because we never talked about it before we were married. You wanted to protect me and I over reacted. We will work it out as all bonded couples do. We are still learning about each other Sarek."

"Perhaps, I should have known this."

"Sarek you know now and I trust you. Have faith in our love and bond I do."

"I shall." Sarek said.
