Beverly: [to Data] "The exocomp didn't fail
the test, it saw right through it." |

Farallon:
"Captain, I object to being called here. I'm wasting
time that could be better spent elsewhere."
Picard: "Doctor, I appreciate the time constraints
you're under. But recognizing new life -- whatever its
form -- is the principal mission of this vessel. Mister
Data, what makes you think
the exocomps could be alive?"
Data: "Sir, when the exocomp left the access tunnel
prior to the explosion, I believe it may have been
attempting to save itself from destruction." |

Picard: "Something more, Mister Data?"
Data: "Yes, sir. I thought you might be curious why
I would be willing to risk your life for several small
machines."
Picard: "I think I understand the predicament you
were in. It cannot have been an easy choice."
Data: "No, sir. It was not. Several years ago, when
my status as a living being was in question,
you fought to protect my rights -- and for that, I will
always be grateful. The exocomps had no such advocate,
sir. If I had not acted in their behalf, they would have
been destroyed. I could not allow that to happen." |
