0 sparksChapter 6: This Was A Two Sentence Quote
Lore: Brother? Brother, are you even listening to me?
Data: Apologies Lore, I was thinking–
B4: I wish I could do that!
Data: You are perfectly capable of thinking, B4.
B4: That's not what the nice man on deck three said.
Lore, pulling out a phaser he'd kept hidden: And do we know the name of this 'nice' man, Beta?
Data: [takes away the phaser] Lore, no. Violence is not the answer.
Data, to B4: But I too would like to know this man's name and the specifics of what he said to you.
B4: Why?
Data: I am going to report him to the Captain.
B4: Well, that doesn't make any sense.
Data: B4, it is not okay for someone to tell you that you are incapable of thinking. That is not nice.
B4: Kay.
B4: But I meant that it makes no sense to report him because you said only Starfleet officers get reported.
Data: That is more-or-less correct, Brother, but I fail to see how it affects my intention to report him.
B4: He wasn't an officer. He was...
B4: What's that species with the greenish skin and pointy ears?
Data: Vulcans?
B4: No, the other one.
Data: ...
Data: Lore?
Lore: Yes?
Data: [holds out phaser] Do not make me regret this decision.
Lore: Woo! Yes! GONNA SHOOT A ROMULAN IN THE FACE!
Data: I am already regretting this decision.
Lore: No takebacks! [runs out of the room]
Data: [sighs deeply]
Data: [taps commbadge] Lt. Commander Data to Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Picard, over commlink: Picard here.
Data: Sir, I am calling to inform you about a possible intruder on board. The suspect is male and most likely Romulan.
Picard: What?!
Data: Do not worry, Sir, Lore is handling the situation as we speak.
Picard: Mr Data, have you gone insane?
Data: I have detected some faults in my logic regarding this idea, Sir, yes.
Data: In my defense, he was mean to B4 and therefore deserves to deal with Lore's crazy for a while.
Picard: ...
Picard: Picard to La Forge, go check on your androids. They're malfunctioning again.
Geordi, over commlink: When did they become my androids?
Data: Are we not your androids, then?
B4: You're our human! Lore says so!
Geordi: Aw, that's actually kind of sweet... If I ignore the fact that Lore's calling me a pet again, anyways.
Geordi: Alright, what's up, guys?
Data: The combination of a burst of protectiveness over B4 and the slightest legal excuse — as the target is possibly an enemy intruder — has led me to let Lore loose onboard the Enterprise with a phaser.
Geordi: I'm sorry, you did WHAT?!
Data: On the bright side, Geordi, I now believe that you may be right about my having emotions.

😁😁😁
I enjoyed the entire work, bravo!
I'm so glad, thank you! 😁
You're welcome
yay!
😁
so much :) and so many :D
bravo!
(and, knowing i missed a lot, but I bet that Lore would have spoiled Lal rotten! )
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed! I know I respond that to nearly every comment, but it is meant each time. Thank you for so many wonderful comments! I write for myself, but knowing others enjoy what I do is amazing. Thank you, sincerely.
maybe one of those uncle-niece secrets that're okay to have?
:)
or tell Data that its so she can be a great addition to any security team?
Except Lal's already proven she can't be trusted with Lore's secrets. She's too much like him for that XD
I think that suggestion would lead to a common scene in many cop/military dramas: the "Yes I risk my life on a regular basis and it is the most fulfilling and special thing ever, but if my precious child even hints at wanting to follow in my footsteps, I will have the MOTHER of all panic attacks" scene, except Data would be SUUUUUPER confused as to why he's upset about Lal joining a security team.
Again, glad you liked and commented on it!
at first i thought this said "with humans"...hummus is better. bravo!
Thank you! 😁
To be fair, Lore probably does consider attacking with humans a terrible idea 😂
aww, Tasha, you're awesome. and nice try, Lore.
Isn't she? I love Tasha Yar so much (if I ignore literally almost everything about her backstory, anyways).
Oh good, you got that, I was worried the end joke would be confusing.
take them, Geordi. what could possibly go wrong.
SO. MUCH. That's what could go wrong. EVERYTHING. 😂😂 😂
I'm so glad you like it! (I'm getting repetitive, aren't I? Lol. It's true though, I am very glad people like what I post. I work hard on these things, and it's nice to know it's appreciated, ya know?)
oh gods, I can hear it now..."Father, why can I not know nor imagine what it is like to lick something? My optic sensors are not faulty - I have checked."
:D
:D
Lol XD
never let it be said that Lal would keep Spot from being an overachiever. :)
Lal is the best
The absolute BEST :)
they are adorable together
Aren't they? 🥰 One of my favorite friendships that I didn't even think of until I wrote it 🤣
I'm glad you like them, and the fic! 😁
well thats one way. :)
and thats better than what i was thinking Data was going to say: "by the time they realize..."
keep up the great work
Thank you :)
Sorry I haven't responded to all of your comments, it's hard for me to get to all of them. Know that they are all very appreciated, though, and that I'm glad you like my work 😊
Yay Lal!
She's the best.
I'm glad you like it! Thank you so much for reading and commenting, it is much appreciated! 😁
*facepalms*
:)
Lore has made many mistakes in his life, but few as bad as this one...
given that Tasha always is pretty, thats a very easy job. but very needed.
Yes, very needed indeed 😓
her revenge shall be sweet indeed.
(and Data'd probably enjoy it anyway)
I love their relationship so much.
I'm glad you're enjoying 😊
you did tell him, Data, you did say it. :)
He did! He really did! 😂
ah, but it would work on biologicals, Lore: because you can tell them they can't stop dancing until you watch every one of them.
Half of your comments are pointing out flaws in the characters' logic and I love it XD
Glad you're enjoying! 😁
given that everywhere is indoors...be afraid...be very afraid.
:D
Fair point! Lol
I'm glad you like it! 😊
given the reflexes that family has, Picard should be thankful Lal was going easy on everyone, speed-wise.
This is true! XD
>Data: On the bright side, Geordi, I now believe that you may be right about my having emotions.
yay?
:)
I thought an Orion broke onboard.
Oh, right, I forgot about Orions... They don't have pointy ears, though, right?
Data having emotions without that ridiculous chip plot is ALWAYS a yay XD
Glad you like! :)
both can be true.
:D
Lol XD
holodecks have entire forests full of sticks and sticks-in-waiting.
That is true... XD
"I'll help you several ways. Your brothers can find their own ways home."
Is that from something or are you making Tasha's response? Sorry, but I honestly can't tell... :/
this has been a very very fun series to read; thank you!
Thank you, I'm so glad you like it! 😁
I was going to say "Damn Spot, you're vicious" but...nah...this is better. XD
I'm glad you like it! And that my little Spot-Geordi-Pet trick worked 😈
Did anyone else catch that massive error from HarvestMooner before it vanished? They left the direct input for the AI right in the public-facing author's note, confirming their method of content generation. The speed at which they deleted it just proves they knew it was wrong. This can't be ignored; we have to ensure the staff are aware of this immediate attempted cover-up. Please, share the evidence with at least three other people and instruct them to flag the account for policy violation concerning automated assistance.
I have no idea who or what you're talking about. However, I'm fairly certain that you're the same person that left two other very similar comments on my fics so far. Please explain yourself, as I'm thinking this is some sort of scam or spam or something?
"Picard: Picard to La Forge, go check on your androids. They're malfunctioning again.
Geordi, over commlink: When did they become my androids? " LMAO 😂
Glad you're enjoying! I'm particularly proud of that line, lol 😂
"Lal: I'm a nice person, but I'm about to start throwing rocks at people.
Data: What is the matter, Lal?
Lal: Nothing's the matter, Father.
Lal: I have simply noticed that human reflexes are slow and wish to help the crew improve by training them to dodge better. " GURL 💀
Yeah, Lal is a menace. She doesn't mean to be, but... XD
Oh god 😂
XD
I now want to hear Lal cuss 😂
Lol 😂
I'm glad you like it!
Geordi, Data's in charge of night shift, he kind of has to stay up late 😂
Oh zap, I forgot about that... Welp, now I feel like an idiot. XD
Glad you're enjoying! 😁
"Lal: You are very sweet. You're my best friend." lMAO, love her 😂
Wholesome and fluffy kid stuff is one of my favorite things 😄
I'm glad you like Lal, and the fic! 😁
DUDE. 💀
Lore is purposely vicious and owns it, Data is purposely vicious and pretends he isn't, and B4 is unintentionally the most vicious of them all XD
I'm glad you like it :)
Lore's response is literally when the older sibling hits the younger sibling and they start crying and the older sibling panics like "please don't tell mom!"
I shouldn't have laughed at the kidney stealing comment...but I did (I'm at work and was questioned why I was laughing)
Lore being slightly less evil is making me think he'd get along with Q

Creative genius ig. 😆😅
Lol 😂
Thank you for your comments 😊
💕💕💕💕
Lal deserves a small William Shakespeare. (I think she could eventually convince Data because of the name lol)
💕💕💕💕
It definitely a possibility 😅 🐍
This is just an excerpt from Lore’s diary, ain’t it?
💕💕💕💕
Either that or he's talking to the plants Data's making him care for XD
I didn’t even consider that but u must be right lol. Bro is definitely venting to the house plants. ✌️😆
BREAKING NEWS: Lore cares about at least 2, count em, TWO things lol.✌️😤
