I do not desire another warden. Do not send one to me, Admiral. I have no need for such a keeper. I wash my hands of this business. [Said with a great deal of conviction, like it's really going to happen

[thegooddrjones]

Can I ask why? I thought you liked working in the infirmary?

Private.

[failedcreator]

I do not think that I am fit company for others. I wish to be left with my work.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Victor, that's not true. I enjoy your company.

Private.

[failedcreator]

I enjoy your company also. But I have no desire to speak to many on board the barge. I have no desire to assist them with their ills. No longer.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Victor, you can't hide, not forever. Hiding is only going to make things worse.

Private.

[failedcreator]

What else can be done? Data is gone. I do not want a new warden. I shall pursue new interests, then perhaps things will be in a state of improvement.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

You may not want a new warden, but the Admiral will assign one to you eventually. Losing Data is horrible, but do you think for a moment that he'd want you to lock yourself away?

Private.

[failedcreator]

I am also going on a voyage of discovery as I do so. [Pause.] Yet, you are correct. This is not what Data would have wanted.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

What do you think you will discovery being locked in your room with nothing but machines?

Private.

[failedcreator]

I do not know. But I am sure that I will discover it.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Victor, you can't hide forever. Why don't you come in a day or two a week?

Private.

[failedcreator]

If you insist, I shall do so.

Private.

[thegooddrjones]

Thank you, Victor.
