STTNGeez! 2.3: Elementary, Dear Data

The Enterprise is cooling its warp coil waiting three days for the USS Victory, so Geordi surprises Data with a pipe and an invite to the holodeck to play Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. Geordi is immediately frustrated when Data tears through the program using his complete understanding of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories, pissing Geordi off. When the pair retire to Ten Forward to discuss Geordi’s feelings, Dr. Pulaski butts in. She continues her prejudice against Data: is Data capable of solving a mystery when he doesn’t know the answer ahead of time? Geordi asks the computer to create an adversary capable of defeating Data, and as a result, the hologram of Dr. Moriarty becomes self-aware, insisting he be allowed continued existence. Moriarty takes Pulaski hostage and shakes the Enterprise in an effort to be heard. Picard enters the holodeck with Data and explains to Moriary he cannot exist outside of the holodeck, and promises to store him in memory until they can find a way to free him. Fucking holodeck! I swear. . . Even more available at: https://tngeez.com
