Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Something more, Mr. Data?

Lt. Commander Data:
Yes, sir. I thought you might want to know why I was willing to risk your life for several small machines.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
I think I understand the predicament you were in. It could not have been an easy choice.

Lt. Commander Data:
No, sir, it was not. When my own status as a living being was in question, you fought to protect my rights. And for that I will always be grateful. The exocomps had no such advocate. If I had not acted on their behalf, they would have been destroyed. I could not allow that to happen, sir.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
Of course you couldn't. It was the most human decision you've ever made.
