Overview

A hidden recall program takes control of Data and leads him to his creator, Dr. Noonien Soong, where Lore also arrives.

ASFR Content

Soong's automatic recall routine overrides Data's normal behaviour and causes him to commandeer the Enterprise. Soong intends to install a new emotion chip in Data, but Lore deactivates Data, swaps clothing with him and uses their identical appearance to fool Soong into implanting the chip in the wrong android. The Enterprise crew later finds Data shut down and reactivates him.
