Data Lore Desire

Meeting Data

Almost 10 years after that day Dezirae meets Lore's brother who is now a member of Starfleet and Lieutenant Commander of the USS Enterprise she was randomly beamed aboard the ship without the knowledge of the crew.... even she had no idea how or why she was there.... "sir.... you're going to want to come to transporter room 4"  the Engineer tells his Captain over the comm.... Captain Picard brings his Counselor, his new Chief of Security and Lieutenant Commander Data with him as he curiously heads to the transporter room.... Dezirae was buckled over in pain as they entered at first it was just a small headache then it became worse as more people entered the room and the door opened.... Data rushes over to Dezirae and catches her before she fell "thank you"  she whispers softly looking up at him "Lore!?!"  she asks confused as she looks up into his eyes the pain she felt is now gone and she says softly "no.... your eyes are too soft.... you must be Data"  Data looks at her tilting his head in confusion as she looks over at Captain Picard and says "I'm sorry.... I didn't mean to intrude to be honest I have no idea why I am here or how I came to be on your ship!"  she takes a careful step toward him Lt Worf points his phaser at her but Picard holds his hand up and Worf lowers the phaser.... the pain started to return the further she walked away from Data the worse the pain got "it's alright"  she says softly placing a hand upon her temple trying to hold back the pain "I understand.... I....!"  she stumbles backwards into Data's arms "sorry.... I do not know what is going on!"  she looks back up into Data's eyes as she stands back up with his help "Counselor take her to Sickbay"  Picard orders Dezirae shakes her head and says "trust me when I tell you that your doctors will not be able to help.... I am.... I am not what I seem.... if I could find a place to sit.... I should be fine after awhile.... I hope.... I am not use to your.... ways of transportation"  she smiles at the Engineer who smiles back at her as she sits down slowly upon the Transporter Pad "I'm.... just a little dizzy is all"  she says softly then she looks back up at Captain Picard and says "I am known as Dezirae.... what little friends I have call me Dez..... as I said I do not know why I am here.... or how I came to... be.... here.... if I could I would leave..... but I do not know how.... or if I would even make it in my condition at the moment".... 

The Captain looks at her with a half smile "I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard this is Lieutenant Worf and Counselor Deanna Troi.... and Lieutenant Commander Data.... welcome to the Enterprise"  Dezirae lets out a soft short laugh then says "I may not know why I am here.... but I can tell you that I mean no harm.... though I do not expect you to take me at my word"  she looks over at Troi and says "you might as well stop before you hurt yourself.... you won't be able to read me"  Deanna looks at her in surprise Desiree sighs then says "there is much for me to explain.... but that may have to wait"  the ship rocks as though under attack "Captain you are needed on the Bridge"  they hear Riker's voice say over the comm "on my way Number One..... Data.... take her to the guest quarters"  Data nods and helps Dezirae stand up letting her lean up against him they walk side by side to where she will be staying while aboard the ship.... when they get to the doorway of her quarters she lets go of him and walks to the doorway leaning up against its frame he takes a step closer to her as though ready to walk in with her she turns to him and says softly "thank you Data.... I should be fine for now.... you should get back to work.... you will always be welcome here though"  unsure what to say Data just nods as she walks into her quarters as the door shuts she hears him say softly "intriguing"  as he walks away and back to the Bridge she smiles as she walks further into the room and lays down on the couch then falls asleep....

After his shift ended Data went back to Dezirae's quarters and found that she wasn't there "Computer.... where is Dezirae?"  he asks "Dezirae is in Ten Forward"  the computer answers Data walks in that direction..... when he reaches Ten Forward he finds her talking with his friend Geordi with a smile on her face he stops in his tracks at the sight "Data!"  he hears her soft musical voice call to him and her smile seems to brighten as does her eyes Geordi turns and smiles at him as well as Data walks over to the two of them when he turns back to her Geordi says as he stands up "well I hate to cut this short.... but unfortunately duty calls"  Dezirae smiles at him "of course.... thank you for your help Geordi.... it was nice to meet you"  she answers "and you as well Dez"  he answers as Data sits down Geordi walks away from the table and out of Ten Forward Dezirae looks out the window next to the table she is sitting at and says softly "this is a interesting place..... it's also the quietest on the ship.... so far.... relaxing.... peaceful.... calm.... soothing"  Data looks over at her as she talks she looks over at him and says "your friend.... Troi.... reads the emotions of people around her.... I read memories as well as emotions.... well the emotions of the memory I sense"  she pauses then says "how do I explain this!?..... well I suppose I can give an example.... before coming here I ended up in Engineering that is where I met Geordi..... there was someone who called himself the Traveler that had once resided there.... if only for a little bit.... he's still there in a sense.... the memory of what he did.... who he was.... still lives within that place.... he seems like such a kind man.... it may seem strange.... but I could talk to him if I wish.... as long as he still lingers.... but I am a stranger here and people already think I am weird so looking like I'm talking to myself.... might not help my chances..... I can't bring him back in solid form.... I don't think.... I've never tried that before.... though I don't believe he would want that anyway"
