..Inside Area 51...
Data managed to enter the lower construction half of the base with ease, remarkably. The guards were out in their sleep snoring to their leisure. Data steps into the large room through the doorway. He gasps witnessing what could be defined as the most awe struck in history. How could it be so awe struck to Data?
It is the Enterprise.
In design, color, and the serial number.
He saw the windows were bigger compared to outside view reminding Data of those on the buildings in New York. He had seen numerous Youtube videos where they showed super heroes fighting it out against their villains. The design is so uncanny except for the top part that resembles a iron normally used to smooth out the wrinkles in clothes. It is like a hybrid of the Enterprise with a pan merged into a iron.Data walks forwards lowering his head towards the direction he is walking in. The bombs are set to go off under a unspecified time limit set by La Forge.
"Hey," Went a tall and muscular guy. "Who are you?"
Data looks up.
"I am the man who is doing a health inspection," Data lied.
"Oh," The tall guy said. "That guy," The tall guy's head nods repeatedly. His deep scary voice worried Data about getting undetected by his skin color and his yellowish eyes. Oh dear, they stood out! "You are the Chris Worf guy."
Data nods.
"Yes," Data said. "I was told to start my check up in engineering....At this supposed warp core."
"Come on, follow me," The tall guy and muscular said.
Data saw a name tag on the man's shirt.
Florence Jackson.
"Coming, Mr Jackson," Data said, following the man.
They entered the space ship through the walking platform that stood down. Data had been beamed aboard the Enterprise on his first time unlike how many few arrived through shuttles to the Enterprise.But never had he entered the Enterprise through this means! The back end retraction reminded Data of a humongous helicopter model landing. One he had seen in the war movies humans made in this era.
Data saw a pair of humans whistling the exact same way and look exactly the same.
"Twins," Florence said. "Been like that since birth. We have around 14 sets of twins aboard this construction."
"Hmm..." Data said. "Interesting."
"The engineering nerds are far more stubborn getting outta' that room," Florence said, sounding annoyed. "When they make a mistake; no one can stop them from fixing it. It has to be in their utmost tip top shape in order to be completed."
"And how long is that?" Data asks, as they went through corridors.
"Sometime today," Florence said.
Today, of all days!
"That....That's too soon," Data said.
"Time goes by so fast," Florence said. "A couple decades ago I was just a young lad outside making sure no one approached the base with my partner Billy Jones." He smiles. "And meeting that guy who portrayed Spock was a great honor."
"You hold actors up on a pedistool," Data said. "How come?"
"I was inspired by the red shirts to enlist," Florence said. "They may die every episode. But sire as hell didn't stop them from doing their duties."
