5 Times Data Felt Human
5. Bashir’s hand on his wrist has no extreme temperature variance, no excessive smoothness to it, no extra joints: nothing to mark it out of the ordinary. Yet Data’s lips downturn just a bit when it is removed. Most odd.
4. When he dreams, his brain processes are never still. He is not truly suspended, not as a human. His subconscious is not truly comparable to that of an organic brain. But if he has no way of knowing the difference, is it truly relevant?
3. Drunkenness: most definitely prime in the category of “fun.”
2. The Captain invited him to go swimming down planetside and didn’t ask a single question about his functionality in water. He processed it as fascinating that an omission could be such a clear indicator of inclusion.
1. His eyelids slid over his ocular viewscreens without a problem, but from the expression on Geordi’s face, some type of abnormal occurrence was worrying him.
“I can’t tell you how good it is to see you, Data.”
Data tilted his head to the side, and as the last of his circuits were whirring into life, there was a not-quite-thought underneath them: Not as good as it is to see you, my friend.
5 Things Geordi Can See Just Fine
5. From the second he met Picard, he saw that no matter how aloof he might, he would lay his life down for his crew every time.
4. Himself-a rare talent. He knew his own weaknesses and strengths better than most, probably because he’s always had to prove himself, whether situation warranted it or not.
3. The way that Will looks at Deanna; he knows it’ll only be a matter of time.
2. That when his crewmates stop averting their eyes from his face is when he’s really become one of them.
1. That no matter what any scientist, court, or man says, Data is as human as any of them. It’s not his parts that matter, but his soul, and Geordi has always been able to see that just fine.
