Lal (Data's Primitive Android Daughter)

A newly assembled, human-sized android constructed by Data: pale synthetic epidermis over a slender, visibly jointed frame, faint seam lines along skull and torso, and occasional indicator lights at the neck. Motion arrives halting and mechanical; speech emits as clipped, computerized syllables. She addresses Data as "Father," converting a private experiment into a public, emotionally charged moment that draws Geordi, Wesley and Troi into the corridor, who react with stunned fascination, protective impulse, and careful physical contact.
