Summary

"Synopsis: Set during the episode "Datalore". Lore is casually strolling through the Enterprise when Yar corners who she thinks is Data and tentatively suggests re-establishing their relationship. Will she realize in time who she's actually dealing with? (Well no, not really, that would make the story pretty short.)"

Reactions and Reviews

A great story! Everything about it was wonderful. I found Lore's thoughts very believable - his rage at Noonien (!), his wandering eye, his dismissive assessment of his brother. Yar was also very believable. I really enjoyed the power plays between those two and the torrid descriptions of what they did. Ummm.... that ear thing. When Yar talks with Data later, again the characterization was very true. Do yourself a favor and read this one and anything else Jenny writes.
