Picard refuses to allow it, but Maddox is prepared for this eventuality and whips up transfer orders that go beyond Picard's ability to refuse.įorced to choose between Starfleet and his life, Data reluctantly chooses to resign. Picard and Data are intrigued by Maddox's work, but once Maddox explains his plans in detail, they realize that his understanding of cybernetics is still spotty, and his plans will likely kill Data. However, now he's interested in learning Data's secrets, determined to use him as a template to build more androids like him for manual labor and use in dangerous situations. Maddox was the only member of a Starfleet board to oppose Data's admission, out of his insistence that robots aren't alive. They're interrupted by a Starfleet admiral and a Commander Maddox, who has some history of his own with Data. It seems that Louvois was Picard's love interest before she tore him apart during the court martial hearing held for him losing his previous command. They immediately bleed out some bad blood and Belligerent Sexual Tension between them. Data gets his first taste of poker (which he fails at, due to Riker's impenetrable bluff), while Picard meets and catches up with an old friend/foil of his, Captain Phillipa Louvois, currently assigned as a JAG officer on the station. The Enterprise is parked at a newly established starbase for crew rotation and resupplying/offloading.
