Which main Starfleet Doctor would you most want/trust to save your life and take care of you?

Title: A Measure of Betrayal 1/1

Characters: Geordi LaForge, Data, William Riker

Summary: Geordi understood the tough situation, he truly did. But that doesn't lessen the feeling of betrayal by what Riker does in the hearing to determine Data's personhood and rights.

(TNG: The Measure of a Man)

There's something very interesting in Data's response to first seeing Maddox in "Measure of a Man."

That looks like a very instant and intense reaction of discomfort. Keep in mind that he doesn't know why Maddox is here yet. It could be something completely unrelated to him.

Which makes me wonder... All we're told is that many years ago Maddox didn't want Data to go to Starfleet Academy because he didn't believe Data was sentient and that he also wanted to take and study Data for himself. What if there was more to their history than that? Or if not direct history, maybe Data knows Maddox has a track record of unethical behavior and is therefore instantly on guard?

Maybe not anything too drastic, but something to account for Data's reaction at seeing him again.

Thanks so much for letting me know! 😄

I fell extremely hard for them, and am glad others are loving the result of that 😆

Characters: Data, Geordi LaForge

Pairing: Data/Geordi
