I apoligize for any misspelled names and any confusion. This chapter may make some of you angry, but it is what happened in this story. I hope you understand. I own this little back story prior to when the series picked up Data's backstory. Enjoy.

Roxanne just stared at the outraged captain. She was calm.

"I expected you would have questions. I am sorry, but I must request that only you, Ms. Troi and Doctor Crusher be present while I discuss this with you."

Picard turned to his crew and nodded. Data, Riker, and Geordi left with the laughing teenagers. Q just sat down and smiled.

"Aren't you supposed to be leaving?" Q just kept smiling, which caused Roxanne to sigh. "Fine, father. Stay."

Q just smiled again. "This should be interesting."

Roxanne sighed and turned to Picard. "I ask you Captain to be open-minded and please try to understand."

"Years ago I met Data when he was first activated, since then he has been reactivated twice that I know of. When he was first created, he had emotions. After seeing how horrible emotions worked with Data, Dr. Soong deactivated both Data and Lore and removed Data's emotions and reactivated him. He never had a chance to remove Lore's emotions before he had to escape and leave both Data and Lore. The reason Lore didn't remember Data with emotions is because I tampered with his mind before I was forced to leave.

"I was a student of Dr. Soong's. I was helping him by teaching Data and Lore about life and becoming sentient. Once they became able to take care of themselves, I started teaching Data and Lore about other things. Data was a better student and he and I became friends. Lore developed a crush on me and grew jealous of Data."

"That explains his immediate dislike for Data," Deanna said.

Roxanne nodded. "Eventually Data and I became more than friends, much to Lore's dismay, and Dr. Soong's wishes. Little did I know that because of my abilities, I was able to make things happen that don't usually. I try not to use it, but at this time I didn't know much about my abilities and accidently created Base.

"Unfortunantly I didn't know anything about her until after I was forced to leave."

"Forced?" Roxanne nodded.

"Like I said, Dr. Soong didn't like our relationship and ordered me to leave. When I refused he went about removing Data's emotions. The night I left I went through and removed myself from Data's memory and Lore's. I hopped on the nearest ship and left. When I landed here I was treated like everyone else, until my daughter was born. They considered my child to be a message from the beyond that I was supposed to be the next Queen.

"Apparently there was a prophecy about a royal family that would live for many years. When they saw Base, they considered her part of the prophecy. That is why that man bowed when he entered and saw Data. He reminded that man about the prophecy and about Base."

Dr. Crusher looked at Roxanne with skeptical eyes. "What about the other children, and my son?"

Roxanne smiled. "Wesley came here with the Traveler. The Traveler was injured and needed to rest. When Wesley met Base, he was shocked like you. Once the Traveler was healed, Wesley was meant to leave, but he remained and became a friend with Base. Over the years, Base and Wesley went on a few adventures to other planets and met other children there, children who were abandoned and needed and home, and brought them here. They became part of our family. The Borg came here with the intention of adapting us to their way. However, they were confused by Base and left without Henry, the Borg you saw."

Picard studied her a little before turning to Deanna. "Councilor?" Deanna stared at Roxanne before turning back to Picard.

"Captain, she speaks the truth, but she isn't telling us the whole truth."

Roxanne stood, her eyes flashing. "How dare you accuse me of lying."

Everyone looked at the enraged woman. Suddenly laughter could be heard. Q was laughing at his own daughter.

"You should tell them the truth about what happened between you and Data and why his emotions were removed," Q said.

All eyes moved back to where Roxanne had been previously, but she was gone.
