Data was dressed and ready for duty when Neara came up and kissed him deeply.
“Oh, I wish our week was not over!” Neara reached under her skirt and came up with a moist finger. She rubbed it delicately on the bottom of one and then the other of Data’s nostrils. He breathed in and her scent filled is airways. “Something to remind you of me during your workday.”
Neara turned him towards the door and gently pushed his back, “Now you must leave before I do not let you go.” Data left quickly, because if she stopped him, he knew he would want to stay.
Before going to the bridge, Geordi requested Data’s help in engineering.
“Good to have you back,” Geordi greeted him. “I didn’t see you or Neara out during the whole week. Seems like you took that time to get to know each other very intimately.”
“Yes,” Data confirmed, “we had sexual intercourse fifty-seven times and I gave her oral pleasure…”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Geordi interrupted, “you really shouldn’t be telling me that stuff, or anyone for that matter.”
“Oh, I am sorry, I did not realize,” Data apologized, “Thank you for informing me.”
They started their work and Geordi couldn’t help but think, fifty-seven times, good thing he’s a machine!
Once finished in engineering, Data went to the bridge.
“Welcome back,” Riker grinned, and Picard nodded his greeting.
“Thank you, sir,” and Data took his position.
They were on course to the Galaxon galaxy to plot a nebula. Twenty minutes later, they had arrived and the measurements began.
“What readings do we have for the Goras nebula?” Picard directed his question to Data. Data did not respond.
“Mr Data,” Picard prompted.
“I am sorry Captain,” Data apologized, “I appear to be having a reverie.”
Riker chuckled. Picard’s face soured, “Kindly keep your reveries to your personal time Commander.”
“Aye sir,” Data complied, and gave Picard the readings.
Picard looked ahead thoughtfully, then got up and walked towards his Ready Room. He turned and said, “Number One,” and Riker followed.
Picard sat on the edge of his desk and sighed, “I’m not one to pry into my crew’s relationships,” Riker had told Picard why he had given Data the week off, “but I have found that when Data starts acting out of character, there is reason for concern. What do you know about this Neara Na Ahta?”
“Not much,” Riker conceded. “Her records are sealed and Starfleet instructed us to give her anything she wanted. She said she wanted to help, so I placed her in engineering.”
“There are members of Starfleet who might seal records in order to facilitate certain covert actions,” Picard pondered aloud. “Do you think Neara Na Ahta could be a possible plant by Bruce Maddox? Maddox has been keen to experiment on Data, and she was quick to insinuate herself into his life. Do you think she could be working for him?” Picard asked.
“I don’t know Captain,” Riker professed. “She did seem genuinely interested in Data, but I suppose that could have been professional interest… But I really don’t think so.
“Guinan knows her somehow though. She came to the table and thanked Neara. Neara said it was for some help she gave and dropped the subject, so I have no idea what it was about. You’d have to ask Guinan. And she also sees Counselor Troi, so she might be able to give you more insight.”
“Thank you Number One. Would you please send Counselor Troi in?”
Riker nodded and left the room.
Moments later, Troi entered. Picard walked around the desk and took his chair and motioned Troi to sit opposite.
“What can you tell me about Neara Na Ahta? I understand you’ve been counseling her,” Picard questioned.
“I haven’t counseled her,” Troi corrected. “She’s been seeing me for energy healing, I suppose you’d call it, to heal a psi injury she received before coming here.”
“Psi injury. What kind of psi injury?” Picard inquired.
“I don’t know,” Troi admitted. “She hasn’t elaborated. What’s bothering you Captain?”
“Data just acted oddly and it happened since meeting her,” Picard explained. “I’m concerned she might be in league with Bruce Maddox to experiment on Data without his knowledge or consent.”
“I don’t feel any duplicity from Neara,” Troi assured the Captain. “Her interest in Data feels romantic. Intensely romantic, in fact. Due to her psi damage, I feel she is strongly drawn to Data with his lack of emotion. He feels calming and healing to her. I don’t feel anything else other than the typical Ahmrian desire to help.”
“Thank you Counselor,” Picard dismissed Troi and she left.
Although somewhat assuaged, Picard would feel better if Neara Na Ahta’s records were unsealed. He would try and use his clearance to get them.
Picard asked the computer for her records and gave his clearance. The computer responded, “The records are kept at Starfleet Central Command and are only available in person with clearance level Alpha Zero from Admiral Davison and Admiral Topengi in conjunction.”
That clearance level was unheard of in Starfleet. The mystery deepening, he decided to speak with Guinan.
Guinan was in Ten Forward chatting with a patron. She saw Picard and greeted him warmly, “Hello Captain. What can I get you?”
“Some information would be appreciated,” he replied. “I understand you know Neara Na Ahta. What can you tell me about her?”
“Well, I know of her – I don’t know her personally,” Guinan clarified.
Picard waited for her to continue. When she didn’t, he prompted, “What do you know of her?”
“She asked me not to talk about it,” Guinan stated.
Picard wouldn’t ask anyone to betray a confidence, but he needed more information, if possible. “Her records are sealed at the highest clearance level, and I’d like to have some information about this stranger aboard my ship. Is there anything at all you can tell me?”
She thought for a moment and said, “In Ahmria, she’s known as a Weaver. And being Ahmriana, she’s here to help. Her people believe that the entire purpose of life is to change the harmonic for the good. If she’s here for any reason, it’ll be that. You have nothing to worry about Captain.”
Picard had learned to trust Guinan implicitly. Although it went against his instincts, for now he would put aside his concerns and wait to see if the good she spoke of revealed itself.
