It's all right. Do not struggle.

It's okay. We're right here. Got you.

I'm Commander William Riker

from the Starship Enterprise.

Soran. Dr. Tolian Soran.

-Who attacked you, Doctor?

-I don't know. It all happened so fast.

Commander,

you better take a look at this.

Romulans.

Data, whatever possessed you to push

her in the water in the first place?

I was attempting

to get into the spirit of things.

I thought it would be amusing. Spot.

Is she still angry?

I'd stay out of Sickbay

for a couple of days if I were you.

Data, you're not actually thinking

about using that thing, are you?

I have considered it for many months.

And in light of my recent episode

with Dr. Crusher,

now may be the appropriate time.

I thought you were worried

about it overloading your neural net.

That is true.

However, I believe my growth

as an artificial life-form

has reached an impasse.

For 34 years, I have endeavored

to become more human,

to grow beyond

my original programming.

Still, I am unable to grasp

such a basic concept as humor.

This emotion chip

may be the only answer.

Geordi.

All right.

Listen, at the first sign of trouble,

I'm gonna deactivate it. Agreed?

Agreed.

We found two dead Romulans

on the station.

We're analyzing their equipment

to see if we can determine

what ship they came from.

And there's still no indication

of why they attacked the station?

They practically tore the place apart.

Accessed the central computer,

turned the cargo bay inside out.

Obviously,

they were looking for something.

This could signify

a new Romulan threat in this sector.

-Inform Starfleet Command.

-You want me to contact Starfleet?

-Is there a problem?

-No, sir.

There was something else, Captain.

One of the scientists, a Dr. Soran,

insisted on speaking with you.

I told him you were very busy.

He said it was absolutely imperative

that he speak with you right away.

Understood. That will be all.

-Sir, is there anything more...

-No, thank you.

Gentlemen,

something new from Forcas III?

What?

I believe this beverage has produced

an emotional response.

Really? What are you feeling?

I am uncertain.

Because I have had little experience

with emotion,

I am unable to articulate the sensation.

-Emotion?

-I'll explain later.

-Well, it looks like he hates it.

-Yes, that is it.

-I hate this.

-Data, I think the chip is working.

Yes, I hate this. It is revolting.

-More?

-Please.

I'm looking for a Dr. Soran

from the observatory.

-Dr. Soran?

-Yes.

Yes, Captain, thank you for coming.

Thank you.

I understand there's something urgent

you wish to discuss with me.

Yes. I must return

to the observatory immediately.

I must continue a critical experiment
