[Lore's voice is completely straight and unyielding, void of emotion only because he's carefully regulating that feature, but on the other end of the mic, unseen, he's gritting his teeth and looking annoyed.] Greetings. I am Commander Data of the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 D, from Stardate 46982.1.

[He's careful to note a time period he was aware of up to. Afterwards he has no idea what happened. And he's extremely glad that there doesn't appear to be any Enterprise D crew on board. Better chance he can get away with this for longer. He's also, at the moment, only using audio for a very important reason and won't be switching off of it.]

I will be serving as a new warden aboard your [marvellous] ship, and will be taking part in your [magnificent farce of a-] community. Please introduce yourselves and share your insights of your time aboard.

[He's wondering what the hell the Thalaron radiation generator was and how he can get one, after doing some "back-reading". But for now he's going to take advantage of his position.

Truthfully minimal, though, said position is.] Upon reviewing the records contained within our personal log and communication devices, I have been aboard from a different date. There are also many quantum realities represented. It is possible that I am not this Data, nor did he share my precise history. [He does not want to have to pretend that he knows anybody.] I will try to work around any inconvenience my lack of familiarity might cause.

[No, he won't. Now he has to figure out what to do about this and who might be helpful.]

That sort of thing happens here all the time, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I'm Stephanie Brown, but you can call me Steph.

[Does he have to say "Greetings" again to each particular person? He's going to have to opt not to. Because otherwise the biggest torture in being trapped here will be that he can't find a way to throttle his brother for being inane.... and that on top of the whole "killing him" thing.]

I read that there recently was a flood. Is there a place one can access information pertaining to the effects rendered by these incidents?

[ichoosefight]

Nothing official. I know there was somebody running stats on that sort of stuff, but we're really left on our own to figure it out. From what I saw there was body swapping, power swapping, and some... actually I'm not sure what it was apart from unusual behavior.

[strangehistorian]

Hello there, Data! Don't worry about the memory problems - we're well-equipped to deal with such things!

[substandard_parts]

Does this happen on numerous occasions here? [He hopes not, because what's the use of an positronically recorded memory if it keeps getting changed]

[strangehistorian]

Fairly often, but not many times to the same person!

[timesbureaucrat]

Chief Coordinator Narvin of the Celestial Intervention Agency.

My insight is that you'd better like 21st century Earth, because the Admiral can't seem to stay away from that era.

[substandard_parts]

Most centuries have something of interest in them.

[It's true! That part is true.] Though visiting alternate time periods is problematic. [He would love it though. So much he could do. So much he could try to change. It would be incredible.]

[timesbureaucrat]

For people who don't know what they're doing, yes. [Or people who do know what they're doing, and what they're doing is intentionally destroying timelines.]

Which, granted, is most of the people on this ship. Fortunately, we haven't yet run into any dangerous paradoxes or degradations of the timeline.

Hello, Commander! I'm Doctor Aliena of the Auroran Robotics institute, 3705 C.E. I was initially an inmate aboard the barge but have since returned to attempt to warden.

[substandard_parts]

[What? He's smearing a hand down his face. No. He read about the fictitious representations and still, still was not expecting to encounter one.

Though at least it's someone acquainted with positronic brains and not Often Wrong.]

You were an inmate? What was your stay as an inmate here like?

[no_fastolfe]

It was... strange, and transformative, exposed me to a wide variety of new experiences; it was traumatic, and it was unlike anything that had happened in the nearly three centuries leading up to it.

I was fortunate with both friends and wardens.

[impure_tale]

A welcome return in either case, Commander.

[substandard_parts]

I hope to be an adequate representation of the Federation in my era.

[Because that would be ~funny~ later.]

[trenchcoatedly]

Hello, Data. My name is Castiel.

[substandard_parts]

Greetings, Castiel. [He's going to hate the word "greetings" by the end of this.]

Would you care to tell me about yourself?

[trenchcoatedly]

I'm a warden; my inmate is Richie Gecko. I'm an angel of the Lord, I like to read, and I am the supervisor of the greenhouse.

[not_annika]

Hello, Commander, I am Seven of Nine.

[substandard_parts]

Seven of Nine resembles a Borg designation. Is my observation accurate? [Interesting...]

[childhood_surgery]

Data... Hardly a common human name, from what I am aware.

Re: Video:

[substandard_parts]

It is not. I am an android.

[Also, his father had a horrible sense of humor. He's aware of that.]

[doctor_j_crane]

Welcome back. How amusing that the Admiral decided to remove your memories. I wonder if he offered you the same deal as last time?

[substandard_parts]

Greetings. Were you acquainted with me? [Be careful around this one, he must note to himself.]

[youwillgotohell]

The ship is wearisome and grows more so. [How's that for insight. B|]

[substandard_parts]

[Oh he grins in his cabin because he likes that analysis.] Are there any points that you find productive or positive to it? [He doubts it but he wants to hear what she has to say.]
