day 301 | backdated to mid-day | voice / action;
[ deanna is making this as a voice post, which should tell everyone who knows her how she's really doing, but there's also the problem with the fact that she's stressed. plain and simple. she is stressed and her voice will betray that no matter what she does. she's been using her plexing all morning and it's only marginally helping. she's been out of sorts all day so far, since she woke up, and now that she's more than certain he's actually gone, she knows she needs to put out the word. ]

For those of you who knew him -- I know he was resident here for a very long time, so there are likely more of you who knew him than me -- Data is... [ what? gone? lost in the dimensional stabilizer? ] Data is no longer a resident of this facility. If he had any lingering business that needs to be looked into, I will take on what I can, but I think... for today I will be remaining in the apartment. I apologize to those who might have wanted to come see me at my office. If anyone would like to speak with me, I will be still available, of course. I will simply be remaining in the apartment for now.

[ because right now she needs to stay in the apartment, away from people, where she can quite possibly cry this stress out in peace. though the offer for company is meant, in most cases. ask for her location, friends, and ye may well receive. ]

Thank you for your time.

[These are not words she wanted to hear. Data has been the investigative force leader ever since Reid left. He was the one she'd been relying on when it came to DF issues ever since Jack got aggressive and she and Reid broke up. But more than that, she liked him. Maybe they hadn't been super close, but they were getting closer and now... Now he's just in one of those pods, disconnected from the rest.

Jacks's words come back to her about Data being one of the key people to look into the virtual environment angle and for a moment she considers that his disappearance is an intentional move on their part. Zatanna was one of the most powerful and she's gone too. Could magic be a weakness of theirs even in a virtual state with power locks on their real bodies?

But these thoughts don't linger long in the moment. She can always come back to them later. It's not time for that. She may have lost a friend and an ally, but someone else just lost the only person who shared her home.]

I'm sorry.

[ deanna knows they aren't. they aren't words she wanted to say. but she'd thought that the rest of them, especially the defense force, needed to hear sooner rather than later. better now than to find out at a critical moment.

it is true, though, that data was the only person who shared her home. she doesn't know it for sure, but chekov is from an alternate reality, so that means she can't even say he's from her universe. he isn't. well, he is but he isn't. it's the same universe but a different version of it. different things have happened to him.

but even more than that, deanna has known data for a long time. she watched him grow and learn so much over all those years. she knew how badly he wanted to be human, how much he strove to understand and figure out the key to humanity. she knew how he had felt when he had come into possession of the emotion chip, how much closer he had come to being human.

she also knows what his future holds and a part of her can't help but imagine him having gone home to his death. that part hurts most of all.

it's a few minutes before she responds and her voice is tired and thick. ]

As am I. I know he was very important to a lot of people here. [ and to the defense force. ]

Still is. [Fixing that tense for you, but she gets it. Maybe people are locked up in pods somewhere in a more tangible version of the prison, but that didn't make Data any less lost to them right now.]

You want some company? [She's not sure she's really the one who should be making this offer. She's not sure who Deanna's friends are here other than that Data was an important one, but Deanna has helped her before and she doesn't much care that it was her job. In Kitty's mind that's still a choice. She could have had a different job or abandoned it upon arrival. She didn't.]

	[ yeah that's a thing isn't it. there's the difference between him being up in one of those pods and what she knows she has to go back to one day. that being data not being there. ] If you'd like to stop by, I could. [ yes, please, kitty. come keep her company for once. being completely alone is not suiting her so well. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
