Jason rubbed his face as he sat at the desk in his and Aelwyns quarters. He had been reading over what the Ambassador sent him, trying to prepare for their arrival on Ra'mid, the Gorn homeworld. He sat back and placed his thumb under his chin and rubbed his upper lip with his finger thoughtfully as he stared into the bulkhead across the room.

Aelwyn came up behind him and lightly wrapped her arms around his shoulders. " Hard at work I see Admiral..." Placing the coffee down in front of him on the desk. " Can I help you with anything." Her chin lightly resting on his shoulder.

Roberts blinked then smiled, "thanks," he replied softly and lightly rested his cheek on her, "maybe. The Gorn Ambassador contacted me earlier today, there's a group pushing for reopening UCF and they want me to help," he replied and turned the monitor so she could see better, "I'm not sure what to do."

" Why was the UCF disbanded to begin with?" Her hand lightly ran through his hair as she looked at the information. " Refresh my memory for me?"

"Well, Enterprise and I found out half the leadership was corrupt, most are still sitting in prison to this day," he explained and turned to face her with a smile, "it's how we ended up back in Starfleet."

" Is there any down side to the UCF being reopened? Can you see any down side to that happening?" Smiles back at him, looking into his eyes.

He rested his hands on her hips and shrugged, "there's always a downside," he replied, "in this case it'll give one group free access to everything again. But, it will also give us access to more resources and everything that the Federation is stripping from Starfleet," he added with a sigh.

Cups his face in her hands and looks at him, " I guess the decision is yours to make... Just remember you can never please everyone at the same time..." Kisses his forehead. " I think you should really weigh the benefits and do what will put the Federation ahead more."

Jason chuckled, "the Federation isn't even doing what would put the Federation ahead more, it's crippling itself," he replied and turned his head slightly to kiss her wrist then met her gaze again, "if it works UCF could be a powerful force, when it was first formed the first time it managed to pull enough resources to stop a bio toxin that a terrorist had unleashed on thirty eight hundred worlds and for a good while after kept the peace on all boarders, I just do not want to see a corrupt government come to power again, or see the Federation try to torpedo them out of jealousy again," he added with a sigh.

Ruffles his hair and chuckles, " I think you've already made up your mind to be honest Admiral." Looks deep into his eyes, " Since when has corruption and possible torpedo destruction deterred you from making a decision?"

He chuckled and met her gaze, "mostly at least, my love. And, usually never, I just want to make sure I don't get the officers in the Task Force torpedoed too."

Smiles and shakes her head, " Officers who agree to bring back the UCF will expect some kind of objection on the matter... But they also go into it knowing the possible consequences... Sure you worry... But I am also sure they are more the prepared for what will happen."

The Admiral just nodded, "I hope so, because last time this didn't succeed and the Federation was split apart and it's citezens became an endangered species," he added with a sigh, having little bit of information after Enterprises trip into the future, "this has to work."

Kisses him lightly, " The thing about the future... You never know what is going to happen for sure. It all depends on the steps we take and the outcome can always be different. " Pushes his hair back, " I have faith it will work."

He returned the kiss and smiled as he stood up, "that's good enough for me," he replied with a smile and put his arms around her.

" Well that's good then... I guess you don't need me any more..." Grins and tugs his collar lightly.

"Oh, I wouldn't say that," he replied with a grin and led her away with a waggle of his eye brows.
