Lieutenant Commander Data
- Lt. Commander Data: Since her death, I have been asked several times to define how well I knew Lieutenant Aster. And I heard you ask Wesley on the bridge how well he knew Jeremy. Does the question of familiarity have some bearing on death?
- Commander William T. Riker: Do you remember how we all felt when Tasha died?
- Lt. Commander Data: I do not sense the same feelings of absence that I associate with Lieutenant Yar. Although I cannot say precisely why.
- Commander William T. Riker: Just human nature, Data.
- Lt. Commander Data: Human nature, sir?
- Commander William T. Riker: We feel a loss more intensely when it's a friend.
- Lt. Commander Data: Hm... But should not the feelings run just as deep, regardless of who has died?
- Commander William T. Riker: Maybe they should, Data. Maybe if we felt any loss as keenly as we felt the death of one close to us - human history would be a lot less bloody.
