DATA is scanning GEORDI with a medical scanner.
GEORDI: You know, Data, I’ve been thinking about some of the times we’ve had. Like that time we went sailing on Devala Lake. You remember that?
DATA: I have a complete memory record of that day.
GEORDI: You decided to go swimming, and when you jumped out of the boat you sank straight to the bottom.GEORDI can’t help but laugh as he remembers.
DATA: (matter of factly) I did not have enough buoyancy to get back to the surface.
GEORDI: (still chuckling) You had to walk over a kilometer along the bottom to get back to shore.
DATA: One kilometer, forty six meters.
GEORDI: It took almost two weeks to get the water out of your servos…A beat, then…
DATA: I am ready to irradiate your existing brain cells.
GEORDI: (quiet) Data, if you ever go back to the way you were, you might not be able to forgive yourself for what you’re about to do.DATA’s face in unreadable. After a beat, he speaks again.
DATA: I am getting some anomalous readings from your neural net. I will need to do further testing before I proceed.
DATA has not scanned for readings, though GEORDI can’t see this. DATA stands.
DATA: Someone will come and take you back to your cell.
