I imagine there really would be a whole lot more questions. Quite a premise and an enjoyable one at that. The opposite ends of Data and Lore dropped into the TOS setting where the trio often played different aspects of the human condition I am sure would have created quite a stir and a fair few linguistic gymnastics and philisophical debates - i.e. Spock, McCoy and Lore getting into heated debates (rows). As always, an imaginative and unusual take.

Thanks. This one was fun to write as well.

This is an interesting take on the episode, The Ultimate Computer. Data and Lore embodied the concept of 'ultimate computer' better than probably anything else in Trekiverse did.
There's so much promise here, for what could potentially happen with those two in charge of Kirk's Enterprise, and at war with one another.
You've captured Daystrom's madness well, and the characterizations are well done. I imagine it is Lore that got Dr. Daystrom's brain waves. I hope you expand this at some point, as I would love to see a redux of the whole episode, and see what happens next once they are totally in charge of the ship, and how they shut Lore down.
Nice work!

This is one of those where I felt I had a 'neat idea', but not something I wanted to pursue to a full story. As to who got what from Daystrom, I would say that Lore got all his cocky ambition, 'How can it be wrong when it's me?' attitude, while Data got the far humbler self we saw prostrated and begging M5 to stop the lethal wargames.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
