PICARD: Data! I'm not talking about parenting. I am talking about the extraordinary consequences of creating new life.

Enterprise1981 · February 27 2013, 07:23 PM

DATA: Does that not describe becoming a parent, sir?

BlueStuff · February 27 2013, 07:24 PM

PICARD: Data, you are seeking to achieve what only your own creator has been able to achieve. To make another functioning, sentient, android. To make another Data.

Enterprise1981 · February 27 2013, 07:29 PM

DATA: That is why I must attempt this, sir. I have observed that in most species, there is a primal instinct to perpetuate themselves. Until now, I have been the last of my kind. If I were to be damaged or destroyed, I would be lost forever. But if I am successful with the creation of Lal, my continuance is assured. I understand the risk, sir. and I am prepared to accept the responsibility.

LAL: Gender female.

Enterprise1981 · February 27 2013, 07:42 PM

TROI: That's right, Lal. Just like me.

BlueStuff · February 27 2013, 07:53 PM

LAL: Gender male.

Enterprise1981 · February 27 2013, 07:54 PM

DATA: Correct.

BlueStuff · February 27 2013, 08:01 PM

LAL: I am gender neuter. Inadequate.

Enterprise1981 · February 27 2013, 08:16 PM

DATA: That is why you must choose a gender, Lal, to complete your appearance.

BlueStuff · February 27 2013, 09:30 PM

LAL: What are criteria?

Athena28 · February 27 2013, 11:30 PM

DATA: Access your data bank on sexuality, level 2. That will define the parameters.

BlueStuff · February 27 2013, 11:45 PM

TROI: Whatever you choose will be yours for your lifetime. It's a decision that will affect how people interrelate with you.

Athena28 · February 28 2013, 12:59 AM

LAL: I choose your sex and appearance.

BlueStuff · February 28 2013, 01:07 AM

DATA: No, Lal. That would be confusing. We are taking you to the holodeck to show you several thousand composites I have programmed. You may choose from them.
