What if She’s Lore’s Daughter and Picard is Chasing the Wrong Android?
“We have hope, optimism, and spirit of curiosity. All they have is secrecy and fear. And fear is the great destroyer.” — Picard
Quick Recap: From the opening scene when I saw those synth stuffed into a storage room… something about the disposablity of them all screamed Lore! When they revealed the insidious way the Mars Attack was used to discredit Picard’s advocacy of the Romulans… I knew the truth. It was personal and there’s only one android that petty.
Background
Lore was Data’s “evil” twin brother introduced in the 1988 episode Datalore. According to Star Trek canon, years later in two part episode Descent, he was “fired upon and then disassembled by Data” who also removed the emotion chip Lore had stolen which was intended for Data by their “father” Noonian Soong. Lore’s last words were “I…love you… brother.” From this point on it’s a mystery what happened to Lore’s positronic brain or body for that matter.
(Notice both Soji and Dahj used contractions when they spoke.) Is Lore the Destroyer? Or does he have a new protege?
What’s the man himself say?
