The Disclaimers: Star Trek in all its forms and series belongs to Gene Roddenberry and the corporations. I am just borrowing them for this fan fiction and mean no disrespect nor am I making a profit on the work.

This is a sequel to IDIC Future King. Part 4 in the IDIC universe.

IDIC- A New World Order

Part 59

The Romulan Star Empire was in shock. The news that a human colony had established relations with the Klingons chilled many in power. That however was not the greatest piece of news. Javan stood before the senate and fought his deep fear. He knew that the Empire was not always kind to its messengers. However he had a duty to bring this new information to those in power. He resisted the urge to shift around. Instead he stood tall and proud like the warrior he once was. Looking at Jarvan it would be hard to believe he had once commanded a Romulan vessel. Granted it had only been a small scout ship but he had been proud of the Lyre. It had been small and fast and served him well. They had been scouting the Klingon Empire when they ran into a fleet of warships. They had managed to report back but his proud little ship had been severely damaged. He had lost a third of his twenty man crew to the stars and ten more had been to wounded to continue in service. He himself had lost a leg and his right arm and eye. Now once more he had a chance to serve his people and he was not going to fail. He might just regain some of his lost honor.

Senator Charvan spoke to him. "What news do you bring to us Captain?"

"Senator Charvan honored memebers of the Senate the news I bring is shocking. It seems that Altair 7 seeks to trade with the Klingons."

This pronouncement caused an uproar. Jarvan was forced to wait while the room was called to order.

"Is this the only news you bring?" Charvan asked. He knew it was not but he was not going to lead the Captain. It was far better if the man told his story in his own words and way.

"Sir, yes, there is more. On my journeys , in my capacity as a trader of wines and other goods-"

From the back of the room there was a snicker and a voice called out."Smuggler."

Jarvan froze then sighed and continued. "As a trader of goods I came into contact with a ship. It was called the Sunfire. This ship belongs to the Grayson Clan." He paused. He noted that the senate did not seem to know the name so he elaborated. "The Grayson family is the ones that hold Altair 7. The ship was seeking out merchants. It seems that the Grayson clan wants to open trade with our people."

This pronouncement created another uproar. Jarvan waited patiently for Senator Charvan to bring the room back under control.

"Order , order let the Captain speak."The senator called. "We can learn nothing with these continued interuptions."

The Senate fell silent once more. Charvan looked at the Captain and smiled. "Please continue sir."

"The Clan Grayson wants peace and trade. They have strong ties to our brothers on Vulcan. In fact the leader of Altair 7 is bonded to Sarek son of Skon. They are the heirs to Surak of Vulcan."

There was a stunned silence.

"Is it possible that Vulcan is using them to open a line of communication?" Charvan asked softly.

The Captain shifted uneasy. He then chose his words with care as he reached into his pouch and withdrew a letter. He handed it to Charvan. Charvan took it and his eyes widened in shock.

"Senator that was given to my hand by the Captain of the Sun Fire. He told me it was given to him by Amanda Grayson and Sarek of Vulcan. I have no reason to doubt his word. Vulcan's do not lie." Jarvan said softly.

Charvan nodded and faced the senate. "This has the seal of Surak on it."

Once more the room became chaos. Charvan sighed and knew that it was going to be a long day. He looked at the captain and said. "You have done well. This service will not be forgotten. You may go to my home and await me there. We will speak of your future service then."

Jarvan was stunned. He had just been given his life back. Senator Charvan was perhaps the best of the leader of his people. He knew he would not suffer for bringing this news. Perhaps now he could take care of his remaining crew. He bowed and saluted the Senator and turned to leave. He would let the senators figure this mess out.

Charvan smiled it was good to reward faithful service. He turned to his fellow senators they had much to consider and work out. He broke the seal on the parchment and knew nothing was ever going to be the same again. With luck perhaps this was the beginning of true peace and a chance for his people to be whole once more.

Lucifer, Gabriel and Michael watched the scene unfold. "Well my brothers it seems perhaps peace may stand a chance."Michael said.

"Time will tell."Gabriel replied. "Lucifer and my children can still mess this up."

Michael laughed at that. "Well humans are a wild cared for certain."

Both his brothers glared at him. Lucifer however said. "Perhaps this will help Garak some."

"One could hope."Gabriel replied. "That one walks a thin line."

"They all do."Michael said with a sigh. "To bad we had to include free will."

His brothers laughed and Lucifer said. "It would be boring without it Michael."
