“As for me, I think it’s clear that we won’t survive if we fail to forge alliances, and you’re the first to take an interest in us for something other than our resources," She said, nodding toward Mala. "Even the Cardassians lost interest for years once they decided that our dilithium wasn’t worth the trouble of refining. I admit that I expected you to threaten or strong-arm us into submission. Would you really allow us to try Ambassador Jonas according to our laws? The charges against him are serious, but I can personally guarantee that he will receive a fair trial.”
This was the very reason that leadership of this magnitude wasn't for everyone, it was filled with hard choices that will never please everyone. The hard choices complete with sleepless nights were secondary to the main curse of the position, living with the consequences of the choices was the main curse.
Just when Beno was about to speak Talion started, his insights valuable as they were it did cover quite a lot. "At the very heart of the core values of the Federation is peace, history has shown that true peace is born from peaceful intentions. "As my esteemed college was getting too if we came in to Strong Arm you, it will only broker more violence and hate. As for Jonas he is aware that as a guest on your planet all laws are to be obeyed, if he is convicted the only thing I ask is no Death Penalty. Life in Prison is better than what we can offer, at least here he can see his family." Her glance went to Talion. I always had faith in our Doctors ability to save lives, also to recover data that might be all but permanently lost."
Beno stopped for a second before she got too far ahead of herself. "I will do what I can to provide evidence of either his innocence or guilt. if he used his Command Codes to break the law we would have records of what he used them for, also what he didn't. If we are seen harboring a fugitive from your people any chances of peace dies with it." Beno knew if they were to work together on this, it was going to be their best chance for success.
"It is in that spirit that I am going to need to speak with Saida, Captain Brooks should be talking with Jonas in a few minutes she is going to need representation. As much as I believe that Federation training is excellent, the problem still lays with pilot error. Most are too reliant on our systems to fly, very few can do it by sight. Your planet interferes with these systems, it is possible the path was purely accidental. I would just like the opportunity to find out what one is true." The co operation should go a long way toward peace, it was just going to take time and effort.
