A Father’s Joy

Part 67

One week later-

Hoshi Sato read the message. She sighed with relief and rose to find Captain Tucker. She had a feeling that his news would be most welcome. She was for once glad of Vulcan’s many diplomatic contacts. “Captain Excuse me for interrupting your conference sir but I have some news that may please the King.”

The Illyrian King looked over at the young human with surprise. “What news do you bring?”

“Sir our allies the Vulcan’s have just sent us a message. It seems that they have been contacted by members of the Klingons High Council. They have found a small colony of Illyrians in their territory. It seems they were hoping that the Vulcan’s could pass a message on to us. The Klingons Councilor Morag said that they would like to meet with the King and his council to discuss an alliance. It seems that the Queen of Illyria has offered to have a joint colonization of this world with her people paying a tribute to the Klingons for their colony rights.”

“The queen she is safe?” The King asked his voice breaking.

“Yes sir, she sent a message to you your majesty “The sunrises on the golden griffins.”

The Kings face broke out in a smile. It was the phrase they had developed to let each other know all was well and safe. “Well Captain it seems we will perhaps not be going to war. Do you have the location of my family?”

“Aye sir we do? I have it here sir.”Hoshi looked at her captain who nodded.

She handed it over to him. Charles Tucker III smiled. “Well we should go get your lady.”

“I think I agree.”

“We have that replacement warp drive.”Tucker said. “How far away is it Hoshi?”

“Two days sir at warp 4.5” Hoshi said. “There is some disturbing news though.”

“What news?”Trip said.

“Pirates are in the area. Councilor Morag warns us to be careful.” Hoshi said.

“Then going together will be wise.”The King said. “I will return to my ship and we can be ready shortly.”

“I will call our allies.”Trip said. “We wont let no harm come to your people.”

“That is good to know.”The King said. “Perhaps we can get past this. If we can make an alliance with the Klingons and gain a world it may well be worth the trouble.”

Trip did not say anything as he was not overly fond of Klingons but he take what they could get.
