Commander Data is again working on his acting, portraying Prospero from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" on the holodeck.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospero

Prospero is the protagonist in The Tempest, a play by William Shakespeare.
He was the rightful Duke of Milan who (with his daughter, Miranda) was sent off on a boat to die by his usurping brother Antonio so that he could become duke. As Milan is a landlocked city, it is not clear how Antonio did this. Prospero and Miranda survived on the boat and found exile on a small island. He had learned sorcery and while on the island he uses it to control the other characters. On the island, he became the master of Caliban and Ariel.

By chance, Antonio sails near this island and Prospero conjures the eponymous storm that forces him (and others) ashore.

I got out of the Navy on a Friday and I was working there that next Monday. Coincidentally, the same thing had happened six years earlier where I graduated high school on Friday and was in Navy boot camp the next Monday.

The U.S. military DD-214 form that I received from the official personnel records center contains a primary speciality number of 1189, which was created for this official federal undercover identity I am still using. Subtracting 59 from 1189 produces 1130, which is the billet number for a regular commissioned U.S. Navy officer with the U.S. Navy SEAL qualification.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I will be prepared to live with the mystery. But Data's role in this must be ascertained, or he'll never be trusted with Starfleet duty again.

Lily Sloane: I saw the look on your face when you shot those Borg on the Holodeck. You were almost enjoying it!

Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard - Starfleet USS Enterprise NCC 1701-E Commanding Officer: How dare you.

Lily Sloane: Oh, come on, Captain. You're not the first man to get a thrill from murdering someone. I see it all the time!










1996 film "Star Trek: First Contact" DVD video:


Dr. Zefram Cochrane: Please! Don't tell me it's all thanks to me. I've heard enough about the great Zefram Cochrane. I don't know who writes your history books or where you get your information from, but you people got some pretty funny ideas about me. You all look at me as if I'm some kind of a saint or visionary or something.

Starfleet Commander William T. Riker: I don't think you're a saint, Doc, but you did have a vision. And now we're sitting in it.

Dr. Zefram Cochrane: You want to know what my vision is? Dollar signs. Money. I didn't build this ship to usher in a new era for humanity.
