Desired Data

Wake Up!

**** This chapter is based on Season 7 Episode 6 Phantasm and Episode 10 Inheritance****

Dezirae stood up and started to adjust Data's positronic subprocessor to emit an interphasic pulse.... with his guidance of course.... Geordi and Picard walk over to them and Picard asks as he kneels down beside him "Data, what's going on?"  Geordi walks over to Dezirae and helps her as Data replies "the workmen in my dreams represent the organisms which are trying to demolish the ship the incessant ringing of the telephone, Freud's cautions at the other end, were warnings of the dangers around us"  Picard asks "what about the shrieking noises that you made?"  Picard asks "my positronic subprocessor detected high frequency interphasic signatures from the organisms, which were symbolically represented in my dreams by a high shriek"  Data replies "when you made those noises, the workmen reacted in pain"  Picard says "that is why I have asked Dezirae to adjust my subprocessor.... she is being rather gentle as well.... if I can produce a high frequency interphasic pulse, it may have a similar effect on the creatures"  Data replies "we're ready"  Geordi announces Picard taps his combadge and says "Picard to Sickbay Beverly, we're going to be sweeping the ship with a high frequency IP pulse will you monitor the creatures for any response?"  Beverly replies through the com "understood"  Dezirae presses a button in Data's processor and a high pitched shrieking noise is heard a few seconds later they hear Beverly say into the com "it's working, Captain"  and pretty soon the creatures disappear for good and Data and Geordi head back to work to fix whatever was left to fix with the Warp Core.... "please don't give up your dreams Data!"  Dezirae says softly when Data returns to their quarters a few hours later "as long as you remain by my side during the process I will.... think about it"  Data replies she smiles then slides her arm through his as she sits next to him on the couch and says "I'm not going anywhere!"  he kisses the top of her head then feels Spot jump up on the couch on his other side "here.... try this.... she really seems to enjoy it"  she says as she hands him a bouncer wand and shows him how to play with Spot with it and soon he was doing it on his own watching Spot bat at the pink feathered ball at the end of it and a few seconds later they hear the door chime "enter"  Data says and Deanna walks in with a covered cake pan in her hands "Counselor I did not have a chance to apologize for my actions"  Data says as he hands the toy to Dezirae who moves off the couch and continues to play with Spot "Data.... don't worry about it it wasn't your fault"  she walks over and sits next to him on the couch and says "but somehow I thought turnabout would be fair play, so.... I made us a little something to snack on"  she sets the pan on the coffee table then takes off the top and reveals a cake shaped like Data she picks up and hands him a cake knife Data starts to cut into it then stops and says "I wonder.... what would Doctor Freud say about the symbolism of devouring oneself?"  Dezirae softly chuckles as Deanna replies "Data.... sometimes a cake is just a cake"  Dezirae stands up and sits on the other side of him taking the hand that holds the knife into her own and says "here.... I'll help"  they lower the knife and cut into the center where a persons heart is making Deanna chuckle.... four weeks later Dezirae becomes reacquainted with a old acquaintance Noonain Soong's wife.... who is now remarried and a android.... a woman she remembered being quite jealous of her closeness to Lore and hated the fact that Dezirae could get Lore to show acts of kindness she was never able to get him show.... came aboard the Enterprise it was Data who tried to introduce them but the way they acted when they first saw each other reminded him that they quite possibly already knew one another "hello Juliana"  Dezirae says with a polite tone "you!.... are here as well!?!"  Juliana replies with a soft surprised tone "nope just your basic figment of the imagination.... I know what a relief right!?!"  Dezirae says sarcastically "excuse me"  she adds then she walks away slipping gently through the crack left by Juliana and Data's bodies Data turns to watch her leave with a confused expression on his face as Dezirae goes to help someone within Ten Forward "my that girl will never change!"  Juliana huffs making Data look at her even more confused "don't tell me you have fallen for her mystical whims too Data!"  she adds with a incredulous tone "Dezirae and I have been a couple for 6 years now she loves and excepts me as I am and I love her in the best way I can"  Data replies Juliana looks at him with a surprised expression on her face there was that word again that only Dezirae could procure from both her sons lips and it made her angry but she forced it back and plastered a smile on her face as she gets to know her "favorite" son.... "is everything alright Data!?"  Data hears Dezirae's voice come from behind him as he walks through the corridor near Ten Forward "should you not be working!?"  he asks "well.... you know I don't actually have a "job" here I only volunteer which means I can basically make my own schedule of when I wish to preform my "duties" but you seemed.... deep in thought about something and I wanted to check on you"  she replies "that is awfully kind of you"  he says "she never liked me.... Juliana.... she loves your father though.... I don't recall ever meeting you during your "childhood".... then again she kept me away from "her boys" the only one she couldn't ever "control" in any way was Lore he would always find a way to "sneak out" to see me...."  she tells him she lets out a short soft chuckle then says "I wouldn't be surprised if he placed the villagers in danger just so he could save them and look like a hero in my eyes.... not that he needed too but...."  she pauses then says "I know she had some part in the making of each of you.... if I remember correctly there were 5 of you and I only remember the names of 3.... you, Lore and B-4.... I recall her not wanting you to have the golden eyes you have.... I believe she wanted them to be more "natural" looking.... maybe more like hers or his like a "natural born" child would have but stubborn as he was Noonian always knew better than anyone else and HAD to get his way.... the man who raised me sent me to your father for many things I would sometimes hear them talking.... B-4 is one of the first made and not as.... enhanced.... as you and Lore.... he doesn't have your positronic brain.... I find it odd that he gave you and Lore "real" names but not the others.... a letter and a number that's all they got.... then again he probably figured they would fail after all he got "better" with each son he made.... I do wonder how he treated them though.... if he treated them poorly because they were "dumber" than you and Lore or the same as he did you and Lore.... though you were always the "preferred favorite".... and you wonder why Lore pretended to hate you.... he loves you in his own way but my sister and I were the only ones to ever truly show him ANY kind of love he was barely an experiment when he was "alive" on Omicron.... hated, feared, despised and your father seemed to care what the villagers thought so he reacted by "shutting down" in a manner of speaking his attitude changed in an instant when it came to his reactions to his own son... though the personality Lore gained because of how people reacted to his birth didn't help at all"  she looks into his eyes and asks sadly "I'm not helping am I!?"  he replies "on the contrary.... you have never spoken in this amount of length about your life there"  she says "you never asked and.... I'm never really sure what to say.... I remember all of it but the most vivid moments I have are with your brother.... to be perfectly honest I just don't like talking about it because a part of me still blames myself for the deaths of all those people and finding out that I was created by the Crystalline Entity only made that feeling grow exponentially"  she pauses then asks "do you have a minute!?.... I have something I'd like to show you"  he nods then follows her to their quarters....
