Part II
"Good-bye." Those were Data's last words towards Captain Jean-Luc Picard after he sent him back to the 'Enterprise.' How he would miss everyone there.
Then a draught of thoughts hit him. Why did he do that? He could have saved himself. Why did he decide to sacrifice himself when he could still be alive and well on the ship? Why?
The answer to those questions was because he was loyal to his Captain, because Captain Picard still had things to do in his life, because he had a crew to tend to. There were too many reasons why and because. Too many reasons for one memory to hold why Data did what he did and was going to do.
Too many reasons why he was going through with his decision. In just a few more seconds, he would be gone into the endless voice of space , alive only in the memories of his friends.
His friends. *HIS* friends. Friends that had stuck beside him since they met him. Friends that had encouraged him to do what was right and to stand up for what he believed in. Friends that had cared for him and loved him. He felt almost sad that he couldn't return their love, could he?
Data turned towards the thalaron radiation mechanism and lifted his phaser. He thought a moment on why he had decided to do this.
'Why?' he asked himself. 'Why am I doing this?'
He sighed and thought, 'Good-bye, my friends. Good-bye.'
He hit the button on his phaser and watched the light going into the thalaron. A huge explosion ensued and consumed everything around Data. He watched as things flew here and there.
The explosion continued and Data was no more.
