No one ever writes y/n fanfiction for bald people. How is Picard supposed to read fanfiction about Q and imagine him wrapped up in his arms hmm? HE HAS NO HAIR

@moonshadowed​ asked: your help has been invaluable during my recovery, but look. i’m, uh, i’m better.

Sceptical of the Captain’s assertion, the android furrowed his eyebrows. No level 1 diagnostic was required to extrapolate that the Captain was the complete opposite of better, and that his condition would reach an impasse, or deteriorate, if he did not alter his attitude regarding it.

    ‘With all due respect, sir, I do not think you are; your gait is still impeded by the injury you sustained when the Ferengi ambushed us 1 week and 4 days ago. Perhaps it would be prudent to discontinue your work, and consider a furlough in order to recuperate,’ Data proposed helpfully. ‘Doctor Crusher expects that you will feel approximately 35% more rejuvenated in the span of a week. However, considering you are a quinquagenarian, I estimate that percentage to be significantly lower — around 22.4%.’

@cptjeanluc​​ asked: “oh, good, you’re here! hold this.”

‘Yes, sir.’ Automatically, Data complied and obediently extended his arms to hold the object Picard handed over to him.

    The Captain seemed preoccupied, but with what, the android did not know. His yellow eyes darted down to the artefact that had been positioned in his hands. A deep frown creased his ivory gold bioplast as he initiated a rigorous analysis of the peculiar object. Unfortunately, he was unable to determine its function, the culture, and the species, to which it belonged. However, the hieroglyphs that were etched in its dark surface bore significant resemblances to the Rosetta Stone back on Earth. He could only surmise that this stone might have been created for a similar purpose; to learn, comprehend, or decipher a particular language, or a myriad of languages. Had the Captain acquired this artefact on one of his archaeological expeditions?

    ‘Captain, why did you send for me? And what is this most intriguing artefact, which I am holding?’

@moonshadowed asked: ‘ here, let me help you. ’

‘Thank you, Captain. Computer, pause program.’

    In order to experience an actor’s innate ability to learn and remember their lines, Data had created a program that would allow him to memorise his lines in a similar way humans would. Additionally, to make it a more authentic experience, the program was designed to omit chunks of his soliloquies at random intervals, hence why he had requested the Captain’s presence. Aside from the fact that he knew the Captain derived great pleasure from virtually anything that involved William Shakespeare, he was also of opinion that the Captain would make an excellent prompter.

... Now, o’ver the one half-world,

 Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse,

 The curtained sleep; witchcraft celebrates

Pale Heccat’s offerings; and...

    The android revisited Macbeth’s soliloquy up to the part where his program had omitted his lines. There was no recollection of the following set of words. He waited patiently for Picard to cite the next couple of lines, so they could continue rehearsing the scene.
