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. ]

Comments

Cafeteria

[reddeadvirtuoso]

[Hope you didn't mind someone else wrasslin' your cat along, Data, because Jade had stopped to pet and pick up the cat, and then walk over to the table while carrying the feline.

It's just really soft and fuzzy and cute alright]

Careful; it's made of some kind of rare vegetation remains and freaky chemicals. Practically an abomination of science.

Floor Five

[deloreandriver]

[Marty was just walking up the stairs when he spots someone doing something... strange.

Was that guy talking to a drone? One of the mindless ones?

Intrigued, Marty stepped off the staircase and came up behind Data, watching him try to address a second one.]

Uh... need help there?

Cafeteria

[servessithis]

[My, my, this one is rather pale. And yet he shows no signs of vampirism and is obviously not a Falmer.

He watches the man's attempt at feeding the cat, then leans against a nearby table casually.]

Must you torment the poor creature with the oatmeal?

Floor Two

[loveforthemachine]

[Returning to her room from a recent visit to the infirmary for bandaids for her neck and wrists, Kanon's more than a little surprised to see a cat. Back home, animals were rare, especially more delicate ones like cats. Immediately, she beams and wanders over, politely glancing up at Data.]

Mister, can I pat your cat?

[Always ask the owner first, kids.]

Dormitory Floor Two

[birdinthehand]

[Ankh had just been passing through, but then he saw the first two rounds of the battle of wills between this guy and his cat. He slows. He stops. He leans against the wall and watches, arms crossed over his chest, not sure if this is stupid enough to be funny, or just... stupid.

Just watching is boring, though.]

Hey.

[He tosses his head, and waits until he has the android's attention before continuing.]

You can't tell a cat what to do.

floor five

[restitchtime]

[Rose can't help but stop and watch the interaction between Data and the drones, snorting a little bit.]

You'd probably have a better conversation talking to a brick wall, just a head's up.

2-14

[justabignobody]

[Find him they do - or at least Riku does, when he returns to their room after breakfast.

...A new arrival, huh? Well, might as well greet him. Sorta.]

Did you just wake up?

Anywhere else, daytime

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro is just passing by when he notices the tricorder and the cat. But the tricorder is more interesting at the moment.]

Ex-excuse me, what... what sort of device is that you're holding?

Cafeteria

[keeps_count]

[Legolas raised a brow at the sight of the man(?) trying to feed the cat. And he couldn't help but chuckle very softly at the sight. The cat seemed quite intelligent or at least smart enough to turn down the oatmeal.]

Not even the inhabitants of this tower will eat it. Not without the threat of becoming ill hanging over their heads.
