Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Data’s newfound immersion in human systems (enhanced intellect, insatiable curiosity) is a direct aftermath of Graves’ consciousness transfer—his cognitive leap into hyper-efficiency on the Enterprise bridge (e.g., bridge command, rapid data assimilation) is a continuation of that intertwined identity.
