A/N: Drum roll please! My very first Star Trek fic! Please go easy on my writing, I know it ain't the greatest. Review it please!
The ship is gone! Captain Picard and…Data! No, not Data! Data can't be gone. He's smart, he'll have found a way off with the Captain. Comfort Deanna, she can't fully understand how smart Data is, how he found a way off. Wait, the Captain's here? How'd he get here? But where's…
How can such a small movement like a shake of a head mean so many things? It means Data's gone, means Data must have sacrificed himself, means we lost the battle but won the war. Wait, sacrificing himself? Was the emotion chip activated?
How many of those little pieces in space are of him? Will he just float around in space now, never to be known by anyone else? He was supposed to live forever and carry on his legacy.
He's gone? No, not him. He's been on this ship for almost as long as I can remember. Deanna's crying, but I can't. Tears aren't welcome in these eyes of mine. It doesn't make sense, what happened? How could he leave me like that? Of course he probably didn't see it like that, he saw it as saving the captain. Why couldn't he think for himself for a change?
Commander, he's acting like he doesn't know. But he has to know. This ship isn't the same with Data. Data made the Enterprise, the Enterprise. It wouldn't…won't be the same without him.
Deanna's still crying, now in the Commander's arms. We're being hailed, and I don't want to answer it but my Starfleet training is taking over. The Romulan is talking to us but it doesn't make sense. I must be in shock. The Captain just asked me to do something. Something to do with the shuttlebay. It takes a minute to comprehend. Data obviously sacrificed himself, the Captain knows something he's not saying.
A/N: So? If someone, even just one person, liked it at all I'll put up another part. What can I say? I love to write! Review please!
