Note: This scene takes place before the episode rather than after.

Geordi had taken off his VISOR for the evening and was ready for a night in. "Computer, play audiobook 'All Systems Red.'"

The audiobook began playing, but he heard a sudden ding of the door. Geordi told the computer to turn off the audio and grabbed his VISOR. "Come in," he said.

"Geordi, it is me, Data," Geordi heard as he was getting his VISOR adjusted. He set the VISOR accordingly; ordinarily when he was speaking with other people he had it on an infrared setting. Data, however, didn't put out body heat in the same way so Geordi set it on an X-ray setting for him.

"Sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone," Geordi said apologetically. He almost double-taked upon seeing that Data was holding something in his two hands. "What have you got there?"

"Is it not customary to endow gifts on your birthday?" the android asked, his tone quizzical.

Geordi sighed. "Data, how did you know that today was my birthday?"

"I looked it up in your personal file."

Geordi wasn't sure how comfortable he felt with Data snooping around in his history. When he didn't respond, the android added, "It is publicly accessible ship-wide, though it does not say what year you were born."

Thank God for that, Geordi thought. "Well, okay then," he said. "Let me open it."

He instinctively felt for the edges of the wrapping paper with his hands and opened the box. "It's a razor," Geordi said, actually pleased. "That's very thoughtful of you."

"You mentioned that you had cut yourself on your face using your old one. I calibrated this one specifically to prevent that from occurring."

Geordi vaguely remembered saying something like that at some point. "When did I say that, Data?"

"One month, three days, seven hours -"

"I got it. Thank you, Data," Geordi said, smiling.

"Only doing my duty as your friend."
