to Serena tell it, we will be the deciding factor in the war with the Empire! Okay, I’ll figure out how to contact the Alliance and speak to them about this. Perhaps, since there are still Caldarians here, this can be resolved peacefully. If I had known, I would have contacted them before planning on the mission began. I’ll hold the mission until we hear something back from them.”
    Luke nodded. “If you would like some help there, let us know. We haven’t officially decided to approach them and offer our assistance in the war, but we have been getting ready for it. We have three folks that have been studying very hard to learn all they can about the other races and their governing bodies.” When Ian looked surprised, Luke grinned back. “We’re in a tougher neighborhood now Ian, we need to be able to talk in order to avoid stepping on other folks’ toes. Look, I have a meeting coming up in a few minutes. I’ll speak to the rest of the Council members for you, and we should have firm answers for you by the next meeting at the latest.”
    “One last thing, Luke, has the Council decided what to do about the planet? Since the last battle with the Caldarians, tensions down there have gotten worse. The President of the United States has been demanding daily contact with me, and the other countries are accusing and pointing fingers. Pretty soon all the saber rattling will escalate," Ian said.
    “Yeah, we’ve noticed. We’ve agreed to make diplomatic contact with them, but haven’t decided the details yet. Since you are the one that handled first contact, so to speak, with the President, we were thinking about having you be the first to contact the UN and simply tell them that your leaders will be sending them an Ambassador to handle communications and requests,” Luke replied. “Think you can handle that?”
    Ian nodded. “I’ll do my duty. If that’s what you folks want me to do, it’ll be done. I do happen to agree with you, and feel relieved that I won’t be the one handling all the political stuff. How do you want me to handle the Prez?”
    “Just tell her what’s going on, we will be making contact with the UN, and she can direct all her questions to us through our ambassador once he gets set up,” Luke explained.
    Ian nodded. “That should do. Thanks Luke.”
    “We’re all very proud of you Ian. Keep up the fantastic work,” Luke replied as he ended the call.
    Ian took a moment to enter a couple of more notes on his terminal, before once again contacting his new aide.
    “Mel, could you come in here please?” Ian asked.
    “I’ll be right there, Sir,” the girl replied.
    Seconds later, the woman entered his office, and took a seat at one of the chairs in front of his desk.
    “I’ll need you to schedule an appointment with Major Eischens regarding civilian counter-espionage, I may also need to contact the Alliance of Races; could you look into how to go about that please? I need to contact the Secretary General of the UN in such a manner that I will be taken seriously. Luke informed me that he already has a diplomatic mission set up for both the UN and the Alliance of Races.” Ian said.
    “I can get all this handled for you, Sir, do you still wish to speak to the President of the US?”
    “Yeah, I need to tell her that we will be handling all further communications through the UN,” Ian replied. “I just hope she'll actually listen to me this time.”
    “What time frame are you thinking about for the scheduled meetings?” Mal asked.
    “Since it’s getting late in the day, I’ll talk to the President and then have the meeting with Major Dancer and Chief Laskar. The rest, in the next couple of days, if you can," Ian replied. “I’ll also want to have a meeting with Major Brighton about how to handle the security situation once the Talosian VIPs arrive.”
    “Of course, Sir. Will there be anything else?”
    Ian shook his head. “No, that should do it for now. You might want to
