[CoveTom]

(Ten Forward)

(Kolrami grunts.)

DATA: Why have you suspended the game?

 

[Vanyel]

Kalrami: Because this is not a rematch. You have made a mockery of me. (Storms off.)

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Data, you beat him!

 

[Vanyel]

Data: No Sir, it is a stalemate.

 

[Leandar]

Worf: No game of Strategema has ever gone this high.

 

[Vanyel]

LaForge: What did you do?

 

[Leandar]

Data: I simply altered my premise for playing the game.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: How?

 

[Leandar]

Data: Working under the assumption that Kolrami was attempting to win, it is reasonable to assume that he expected me to play for the same goal.

 

[Vanyel]

Wesley: You didn't.

 

[Leandar]

Data: No. I was playing only for a standoff, a draw. While Kolrami was dedicated to winning, I was able to pass up obvious avenues of advancement and settle for a balance. Theoretically, I should be able to challenge him indefinitely.

 

[Vanyel]

Pulaski: Then you have beaten him.

 

[Leandar]

Data: It is a matter of perspective, Doctor. In the strictest sense, I did not win.

 

[KirkPicard]

Data: "I busted him up."

 

[Vanyel]

Everyone: Yea!

 

[Leandar]

^^Missed one.

Troi and Pulaski: Data....

Data: "I busted him up."

Everyone: Yay!

 

[CoveTom]

And another one is in the can! Congratulations, everybody!

Stand by! Later today, I will get us the name of the person who will choose our next episode...
