Canon: After man achieves warp speed in interstellar flight, the Federation of Planets is established as an attempt to regulate, protect and strengthen through peaceful means the plethora of planets and species across the alpha quadrant. Serving the federation as its military , scientific and diplomatic forces is StarFleet, and its flagship the Enterprise, where the best and brightest seek to go where no man has gone before.

Lieutenant Commander Data is a Starfleet officer and android- the only one of his kind.. Amazingly strong, capable of sixty trillion operations a second, Data's greatest aspiration though, is to be more like the humans that created him., Data's honesty and gentle nature as well as his genius intellect gives him an interesting balance as he tries (but usually fails) to understand what he's lacking that keeps
him from humanity. He is enthusiastic and tries to be helpful as much as he can, and he tends to give people the benefit of doubt. And much like a real life Pinocchio in a world of star ships, aliens and space exploration, Data's awkward innocence, lack of understanding of human and cultural subtleties, as well as his unerring ability to state the obvious leads to a bumpy road without a Jiminy Cricket for this molybdenum-cobalt boy.

Sample Post

So…Arr’gh was it? I have reviewed your case file and it seems most unique. When asked about your family history, you replied Marrrr’c and B'rrragg. Seeing as my universal translator has not reported any malfunctions, I will assume these are family members? Your mother? I see. Psychoanalytical research as postulated by the 20th century psychiatrists Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud considered it a common fixation point to focus on the maternal or paternal figure of the opposite sex of the patient. Seeing as you are…you appear to be…

Seeing as you appear to have marked male on the intake forms, we will focus on your mother. Perhaps you can tell me more about your relationship with your mother. What was your childhood like? Did you have any particularly memorable experiences as a child?

Oh good, a hands on demonstration. Although I cannot emotionally empathize with you, having my mother attempt to masticate on my head would indeed be a problem, if I had a mother. Although I am not edible
in the purest sense of typical human digestive system, seeing as my outer layer is a composite of pseudo-flesh and bioplast, I am sure that if I were actually human, missing my ear would be a problem. Be
as it may, I am not edible and would prefer that you return my ear. Thank you.

It appears we are lacking what my friend Counselor Troi likes to call, “a connection”. Although I lack the emotional capabilities to follow this technique correctly, I have found a limited amount of success in my own attempt to reverse the process by attempting to generate an emotional awareness. Perhaps if I reenact a scene as your mother, you will be able to more accurately address your inner emotions. If you will please allow me?

Is this helping? No? Perhaps if I chew on your other ear?

…Oh. I did not expect that. I applaud your enthusiasm for therapy, Mr. arrgh but generally speaking, losing your head is not encourage in a counseling session. It could lead to numerous misunderstandings.
