Story: Tears of the immortal
Summery: Data has outlived the crew of the Enterprise and has just lost Riker. His feelings and thought on that.
Content: Ok people this has a lot of August (Sad teary eye stuff that is depressing watch out.)
It had been ten years now, ten years sense Riker was in charge of the ship. His health had faded but not his mind. He resided with me in our room, Yes it had been our room tell last week. He had died after an attack on the ship took life-support for an hour. We had the medical teams out treating the cases as they happened. His body just could not take it, he had passed out and never woke up. Even after I shook him nothing, no breathing nothing to show he was alive.
I hated the Romans for taking him from me. I hated time itself that day. Over the years, I had modified myself for him. Made a new chip that opened more emotions for me then anything. I wanted to be everything to him and for a few years, I was. I was his everything, his love his life. Who would have known that the night before the attack would truly be my last night with him. That I would never again have a chance to touch him to hold him like I always did. I never physically aged. My mind and intelligence grew and my mother visited us many times. She had outlived her husband and knew of my loneliness, so I took out the program that allowed her to die. She now lived on the ship and helped me cop. Yes I know it's had to think about an android coping but it was true. I was a wreck but could not show it. I now sat in the Captains chair as the Captain and could not let emotions cloud my mind in duty.
They were all gone now save it be for Wesley's children. HE had finally managed to find the right sequence for the DNA chamber and so he raised three children. Two boys and a little girl. They looked like their fathers, how I missed my friend Geordi.
Deanna Troi had left for a short time and returned with T. Riker, Command Riker's cloned twin. They got along well but on a mission the both of them had been killed. Dr. Crusher had stayed tell a raid took her life. Captain Picard had died after a massive heart attack took what life he had from him. The proud Klingon died defending him. The first week as captain and he lost a neither friend. Geordi had been taken after a gas leak poisoned his blood and slowly took his life.
Wesley had died that morning after not waking up from his slumber. He had fought with a sickness that was incurable. I knew that now even with my staff I had to go on. Threw me would they live. Threw me I knew in my heart and soul they would live forever in my mind.
I can't die or even think about shutting down. Threw me they live everyday and I will live fore them. Teach my crew what they were like and they will be immortal in me. I only hope . . . yes hope that I can do it. I live without them now, the next generation of crew replacing them slowly over time now all gone form the sight of normal people. But in my eyes they will be forever. Immortal by my side and in my will I heart and soul be with them forever.
