Lt. Tasha Yar
What I want now is gentleness. And joy… and love. From you, Data; you are fully functional, aren’t you?
Lt. Cmdr. Data
Of course, but…
Lt. Tasha Yar
How fully?
Lt. Cmdr. Data
In every way, of course. I am programed in multiple techniques. A broad variety of pleasuring.
Lt. Tasha Yar
Oh! You jewel, that’s exactly what I hoped!
Lieutenant Commander Data is the second officer and chief operations officer aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), a starship exploring the galaxy in the 24th century. Data is unique among the crew members because he is an android created by Dr. Noonien Soong, a brilliant cyberneticist. Despite being an artificial life form, Data strives to understand and emulate human behavior. He lacks emotions, but not drive, he is highly intelligent and possesses a vast array of knowledge and skills. Throughout the series, Data explores the concept of humanity and strives to become more human-like, including his quest to experience emotions. #funfact
