Unsettled [OTA Lobby]
Data settled into a chair in the lobby, next to a convenient coffee table that he could shuffle a deck of cards against. He looked between his hands earnestly, quickly rifling the cards together and apart at superhuman speed.
He hadn't had the opportunity to check in on "John Smith", though he'd been very concerned about him. It seemed when one unfortunate situation had been alleviated, another quickly arose to take it's place. He almost felt a sense of.... responsibility for what had occurred. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. Perhaps it was needless guilt, as he'd felt when Geordi was kidnapped by Soran and the Duras sisters, but it was inescapable. It kept agitating and frustrating him. He should have been able to reason his way through the evidence presented, but there were many elements of it contradicting itself.
Not to mention the abrupt assertions Orac had gone into earlier that day.
All organic humanoid life faces domination, and inevitable extinction.
Needless to say, it had rattled the android. Enough that rather than spend his day off in his room, he had chosen to wonder down to the lobby away from the normally fairly innocently crass and catty computer. Simply turning him off seemed inadequate. He had to be out of his range of scanning, as well.
