[01 | Second Officer Log] || [Open]
Characters: Data and YOU!
Setting: Room 2-14, Dormitory Floor Two, Floor Five, Cafeteria, Anywhere Else.
Format: Starting with action, will follow.
Summary: Data is reactivated for the first time within the tower. That probably qualifies as a strange new world to explore. he comes together with his cat, Spot.
Warnings: An android and a cat. Nothing else... For now.
Room 2-14
[ People residing in Room 2-14 may find an android sitting on one of the beds. Data is still wearing the default white outfit provided to all of the tower's inhabitants upon arrival. At the moment he is reading the two letters he had found, with great attention. The first letter got him to raise his eyebrows. Was it... A joke? No, jokes were meant to be funny, not dramatic.
His world had been destroyed? Unlikely. It is a good thing he is spared the emotional consequences of reading such a letter upon waking up, or rather, upon being reactivated. Being emotionless has its advantages.
The second letter is far more interesting though, as it described some of the basics of this tower. He puts the letters down after a while, in order to look around the room. Well... Intriguing. This certainly promises to be a strange new world. ]
Dormitory Floor Two
[ Finally dressed in his Starfleet uniform, Data heads out of the room to explore the tower and find some, hopefully, satisfying answers. His cat, Spot, follows him, at which point Data stops and turns to the cat. ]
Spot, it may be dangerous outside of this room. You have to stay inside. I will come back for you if I find an exit.
[ He gently grabs the cat, goes back inside of the room and deposits Spot on the bed with a nod. He then heads back out- At which point Spots follow him once again. He stops in his track and looks down at the cat. ]
Spot, outside is bad. [He takes the cat back inside.] This is inside. Inside is good. You have to stay inside.
[ And as he prepares to go back outside- The cat sticks by him again. Training his cat is going to take a very long time... ]
Cafeteria
[ Sometime around noon, Data arrives at the Cafeteria- with his cat of course- and looks around before taking his oatmeal. As he does not require nutriments, it is only logical and appropriate for him to offer his share of food to those actually needing it. And obviously the closest living being at the moment is the cat. ]
Spot?
[ He offers the plate with the dreaded oatmeal to the cat- Spot sniffles it before running away outside of the Cafeteria. Data makes no effort to run after the cat, instead looking quite surprised at the cat's reaction.
The oatmeal could not be that bad, could it? ]
Floor Five
[ Sometime during the afternoon, as Data wanders into this area, he happens to spot the clear-collared drones. Oh. Maybe finally a good source of information. Strange though. Their behavior shows similarity to that of Borg Drone. Nevertheless he turns to one of them and nods. ]
Greetings, I am Lieutenant Commander Data. As you may know, I am a recent arrival in this tower. I do not remember the condition of my deactivation, but I know I have been reactivated only this morning. However I have no intention to stay and plan on departing shortly. I would appreciate it if you could give me more information about this place, the reason of my presence here and how I may return to my ship.
Indeed, my imprisonment here is in violation of several-
[ Before Data can ask more, the drone walks away. Did he speak too much? He looks with surprise at the drone for a few seconds before before turning to another one and addressing him. ]
Excuse me, I am-
[ The other drone doesn't make much more effort outright ignores the android. Meanwhile Data looks at both of them alternatively. Well, looks like they won't give him his answers. ]
Intriguing.
Anywhere Else
[ You will find Data wandering around the tower throughout the day, analyzing things he happens to pass by with his tricorder and trying to figure out the situation he is in. This tower is really a strange place. Feel free to bother him at any time of the day.
If you meet him in the morning his cat will be with him. In the afternoon, the cat won't be with him any more. ]

no subject
[ This probably explains why that guy is so weird really. ]
I do not understand. You know your request is irrational and will get you punished. Even if your request was to be met with a positive answer, it would serve no useful purpose. And those admins may as well be our only source of information.
Why going through with it? You have only worsened your situation, yet you show no regret. This is... illogical.
no subject
[oh my god she is talking with a robot who has probably been sealed in cold storage somewhere for thirty billion years on an abandoned space tanker. why the fuck is she suddenly wading through a sci-fi novel she never even liked those]
Well first off the admins are a bunch of lying assholes whose explanations I'd trust about as far as I could throw them, so I don't give a fuck if they throw a bitchfit and never tell us anything again. Second, until we can get our hands on that sick fuckwad and tear him apart ourselves someone has got to make him hurt.
And if that means they get pissy at me? Fine. This shithole's always trying to kill everyone in it anyway, I don't give a fuck if it's a little personalized every now and then.
no subject
[ No idea why she would carve out a little niche, but that sounds acceptable. As for what she says next... No, Data just cannot understand still. This makes no sense. Well if he could feel emotion, maybe it would. ]
But... You have not made him hurt. You have only hurt yourself. You've given him one more occasion to kill you. You have gained nothing from it.
[Can't compute.] I believe this may be... Beyond my ability to comprehend. I still have a lot to learn before truly and fully understanding humanity.
no subject
Yeah, we're kind of tricky fuckers when it comes to shit like that. There's plenty of us around here though, so you've got a fuckton of opportunities to learn.
no subject
[ Something that is very important business. ]
You have utilized the word fuck in various manners, each time with a different meaning. However I fail to see the correlation between fuck, fucking or fuckers, which are all the same word yet seem to have different meaning whenever you use the word. Even within the context of a figure of speech, I... fail to grasp its meaning.
What is the meaning of this word to be exact?
cry this is beautiful
Ok, look. The actual meaning of the word fuck is to have sex, which you better goddamn know about because I'd rather have hot bamboo slivers under my nails than explain that one. The way I use it - the way most people use it - is as a curse word, something insulting to slap in front of shit to give it emphasis.
Fuck's a good one because you can pretty much bang it into any part of speech you need it to be in, which is why it pops up everywhere.
[THE DEEPEST SIGH EVER]
Alright? Have we filled your profanity question time quota for the day?
beautiful and awful and sob all the things
[ ... ...
Yes but no, he shouldn't have mentioned that he us fully functional. Adding "and programmed in multiple techniques" would be even worse,so a simple nod (an embarrassed one at that) will be sufficient to inform her he knows exactly what having sex is. He can easilly see this is what human call "an awkward situation" already, let's not make it worse. ]
I see. An intriguing use of the word as well as surprising. I believe I will refrain myself from using this word until I fully understand all the nuances and implications of its use. However, it is noted.
[ At least he learnt something, not all's lost. ]
I have no quota that needs to be fulfilled, but your answers were most... informative. I thank you for that.
preeeeetty much, cry
Not using words you don't understand is generally a fucking good idea, yeah. And you're welcome, I guess. Most people are so wrapped up in bullshit that they can't understand an explanation that actually makes sense so I don't exactly make a habit of giving them.
no subject
[ Half understand them but that's better than nothing. ]
I simply have a... Issues understanding some of the most complex aspect of humanity. In this respect, my discussion with you has been most fascinating.
[ This is a compliment, really. ]
