"Me and Jaskalla are trying to reconcile. She was manipulated into having sex with Harper Madison believing she was protecting me and the colony.", Nicole offered.
"I don't disagree and I believe that the Betazoid influence was in play here. Betazed had to sign agreements with Federation members not to use their abilities to manipulate others but it has also been an underlying fear.", Vincent sternly lectured, "the concern now is the influence we can bare on the leadership of Starfleet and the Federation. We have a chan e to play a greater role in shaping the Starfleet return to the high ideals it once stood for. To do this we need to maintain a closeness to Illyan. We need you and Monday to be the couple, not you and Jaskalla. Just as the Tellarites used a variety of beautiful women to use your influence with Starfleet to regain positions of prominence - and there successes are many, we will use Monday's crush on you to put the King's Fleet back into a useful position within the Starfleet pantheon. This is a win for us."
"Why don't you f**k her then?", Nicole lashed out like a spoiled teenager and not like seasoned politician.
Vincent was not amused, "Because she would rather have you."
"Isn't it funny how the Coren family worked so diligently against you in your romances with Orchid, Magenta and Lavender through Eugenio and Elizabeth and now they are encouraging the romance with Monday because of your standing in the Federation worlds.", Vincent tried to make his request more palatable. It was not working.
"Despite Christine's vehement attempts, you are still a darling of the social jet set and celebrity iconography. This early 2000s Earth cult of personality is bizarre. People almost crave to see you in their media and love your adaptability in the colonies. Your failures are almost as memorable as the successes and people gravitate to that.", Vincent continued to try to butter up Nicole.
"She is beautiful.", Nicole thought of Monday.
