I am Lieutenant Commander Data of the Federation Starship Enterprise. I am an android created by Dr. Noonien Soong, the first and only artificial life-form to enter Starfleet, and I serve as operations officer. I have become interested in the social practices of 21st-century humans, particularly the brief period in which "social media" services were widely popular. There is a saying on Earth that those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it, so in order to become the kind of human that I aspire to be, it may be necessary to learn the history of their home planet. My friend Geordi has brought me up to speed on the basics of "netiquette", so I believe I will be able to interact in the manner appropriate to this time period. Please, ask me anything.

// This account takes place during a hypothetical Season 8 of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This way, you can ask anything about the TV series, but he remains the most iconic version of his character, before the movies and Star Trek: Picard.

// If you haven't seen any Star Trek - first of all, you should, and The Next Generation would be a good place to start - but I think this account will still be fun to interact with regardless of whether you know the character.

// I might switch this account to a different character, even from a different media property, if I get bored of it.

// For out-of-character inquiries use my main account, @f00fc7c8.
