“Data, I feel we should tell your family,” Neara stated. It was the morning after Data’s birthday, and Data and Neara were sitting at the kitchen table talking about the best course of action to get to Donaerua, the planet where the person who could help them was located.
“I could make a doorway to it, but this planet has some sort of protection, and it might be unsafe to just show up there. Or they might find it rude – it is not the way we want to start off if we are asking for help,” Neara reasoned. “Also ka’lee, I know I will need to help this being create devices in order to make our child possible, so I will need my strength – I cannot be creating doorways.”
“Perhaps we could go to Ahmria and find a way to communicate with the people on Donaerua. Then you could create a doorway and they could come to Ahmria to do the procedure,” Data suggested. “That way, you could recover on the planet before helping them create the devices.” Data knew a Weaver was the only Ahmriana able to create new doorways, and he also knew Neara recovered quickly soaking up Ahmriakana. He thought this would be a good way to spare his family’s involvement.
“Something tells me they will not wish to speak with us. They are distrustful, and I feel they would not welcome a doorway to their planet. I think it would be better if we were on the Enterprise, at their planet, ready to go if we are able to discuss our needs with them. But there is one other reason I think we should tell your family,” Neara elucidated. “I could ask the Prime Healer, but I feel Beverly will bring success in creating our child. She has examined the Borg, Hugh, and has knowledge of the intricacies of biological and synthetic combination. She also is familiar with your systems – how you work. The Prime Healer has no experience with either. Adjusting Lore’s harmonic is very different from knowledge of these physical systems. I just have an inner knowing if we ask Beverly, our child will definitely happen.”
Data could not argue with that. With her revelations, he understood this to be the best course of action. “I will call the senior staff together… my family… and ask them if they will help,” Data resolved. “But if they say no, then we must be prepared to do it on our own. It may even mean I must resign from Starfleet.”
“Are you willing to do that Data?” Neara asked tenderly, placing a hand on his arm.
“Yes, absolutely” he said with conviction. “I want a child together more than being in Starfleet.”
“I hope your family agrees to help us,” Neara said and sat on Data’s lap and kissed him.

Data had requested a meeting of the senior staff, and Picard called them all to the conference room. Once they had settled, Picard nodded to Data to begin.
“I have an important request to make of you,” Data addressed the gathering. “As you know, Neara is able to use her psi wave to search the universe. She used it to find me, and now she has used it to find a person who can help us conceive a child.” The group looked around the table at each other in surprise.
“How exactly will this person help you?” Picard queried.
“Neara and I would like to create a clone embryo of her and then add a quantum strand of my neural net to the embryo’s brain area. The person Neara has found has the ability to extract this quantum strand. We realize this is against Federation regulations, but it is the only way our two physical entities can conceive.
“I would ask for your help in this, but I understand if you wish to refuse. Helping us create a family may put your careers in jeopardy if it were ever discovered. Captain, I am prepared to resign from Starfleet if you feel my pursuing this course of action would be detrimental to you or the crew in any way.”
“Before you jump ahead of yourself Data, why not ask the Federation to change the regulations? Certainly this would be seen as a medically necessary procedure,” Picard reasoned.
“Given the Federation’s fear of Borg technology, I calculate a ninety-eight percent chance they will say no. I believe once they knew of Neara and my desire to create a child this way, they would attempt to ensure we could not carry out the procedure. Perhaps by watching and curtailing our movements, or finding and threatening the person who would help us,” Data conveyed.
“So what do you need from us, Data?” Picard asked.
“Neara says she needs her strength to create the necessary equipment for the procedure, so she cannot create a doorway to the planet. We request that you please take us there.
“More importantly, Dr Crusher, Neara feels the procedure would have the best chance of success if you were to implant the clone with my neural net. She says you have first-hand knowledge of Borg technology through Hugh and you are familiar with my workings, whereas the Prime Healer has neither. We both feel you have the appropriate skill set needed. But if you do not wish to risk helping us, we completely understand.”
Crusher was taken aback. Assisting Data and Neara to conceive this way would be a medical miracle, and the mere thought of the challenge was exhilarating. But if it was ever found out, there was the very real prospect of losing her career. Data was family, though, and he so longed for a child. She wanted to do this for him… she knew she could do this for him.
“I’ll help you Data,” Crusher agreed.
“Thank you Doctor,” Data said earnestly.
“Well, it would seem the rest of us have a decision to make,” Picard laid out. “If you don’t wish to be a party to Data’s plan, then please leave now. If, for some reason, the true nature of his child is revealed, we will say you had no involvement in or knowledge of the matter. If you stay, then we will do whatever we can to aid Data and Neara in their endeavor. Of course, in either event, this discussion is to be kept between only those present.”
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone stayed. Data smiled and had a feeling his heart was filling up. He was so grateful to his family.
“Thank you all,” Data said, moved. “I consider you my family, and that is why I wanted you here. I wanted you to know the truth, regardless of your decision. Your support is more deeply meaningful to Neara and me than I can fully express.”
He turned to Picard, “I have the coordinates for the planet. It is called Donaerua and is in the Tyga quadrant. Since we are en route to the Veygus system, this will cause a considerable delay. I suggest we say I am having an issue with my neural net and I have found an expert on Donaerua.”
“They say the best lies have elements of truth,” Riker said to Picard.
“Indeed. We’ll see if we can make up some time. If not, we’ll use your excuse Data,” and Picard looked around the table to see if anyone wished to comment further. The group was resolute. “Dismissed.”
