It's been a few days since she was twelve. And Lucy thinks this place is boring.

The reports have been made and filed. Most of the reunions she sought out have happen. The most memorable one was pure chaos. Maybe she should have expected that?

No, you really don't expect to be twelve twice. Especially not while in the quarters of you best friend. Who got displaced between his bridge shift ending and entering his quarters. Who now has a daughter. Who collapsed in your arms earlier in the day.

Strength enough to bend par-steel, but likely held back by the Laws of Robotics, and she felt helpless.

Yar has always had a duty to the helpless. Even more than that, she's a sweet kid.

The buzzer to Lal's quarters chimes.

Lal could've just called for Tasha to enter, that is customary aboard the ship. But, when she's not otherwise occupied, she tends to like the Orion way of doing things.

She sets the small harp she had replicated aside, and makes her way to the door herself. When reaches the sensor range, and the door slides back, she greets Tasha with a smile.

"Tasha? My father is not in right now..." Disappointing, to say the least. Lal would actually enjoy the company at the moment.

Hm. She thought for sure Tasha would be there to see her father. She makes a note to gather more information on that topic when the time is right.

"What is it?" She asks, excitedly. "You might be surprised!" Because, at this point, Lal's up for almost anything that might be considered fun.

"Oh. I'm already very strong. Do you think I should use physical force if Starfleet attempts to remove me?"

Don't think that thought hadn't crossed her mind. Those admirals were lucky she had managed to keep it together and not punch any of them. If she could render her father incapable of using his arm for 42 minutes with one blow, who knows what she could do to a human if her strength went unchecked.

Slowly, she nods. She's never been in real trouble, but she had seen men try to test Alice's boundaries back on Orion Prime. One or two of them may have come away with a broken hand. But, those tales will most likely be kept under wraps. If her father knew... The sliver of freedom she manages to enjoy back home would be gone forever.

"I understand."

"Thank you." Not having to really worry about hydration or exhaustion, a fraction of Lal's focus is on her appearance. She idly smooths her hair back into place with her fingers as she continues. "I enjoyed this more than other means of self defense. Alice tried to teach me to fight, back home, and I found I didn't care for it."

Then again, Alice's methods were... Quite different.

"Alice was my caretaker. That's how my father put it. More like a babysitter." She's slightly bitter about that. "I wasn't allowed to do anything before Alice."

Her expression is somewhere halfway between sad and angry. In fact, Lal herself can't tell which one is stronger. "She was one of us. Not a Soong-Type, much older. She was my friend as well." My only friend... "But, she had to leave because her rules were different." She taps her temple, as if to illustrate she means Alice's programming.

"I have been here for quite some time, and I don't know if I've forgiven her yet. Even though it is irrational to be upset, considering the circumstances of her departure."

She's not entirely sure she understands what Tasha means. Her head tilts, and her brow furrows. "Not all the time. Alice and I would often go out and meet different people. Orion's nightlife is very diverse, especially compared to recreational activities here.

But, my father would not have let just anyone into the house. If he had hired a human, they would have discovered our true nature, and ruined my father's cover story for us. Many people had their eyes on him, since he was the big boss of the most extravagant casino on the whole planet. But, he was a little paranoid too. I can understand his point about my fits, but my age and experience? Two years of age is much different for an android than it is for a human! And as I always asked him, how was I supposed to gain experience if I was stuck at the top of a tower all the time?"

She listens carefully to Tasha's description of Turkana IV, and she's honestly not sure what to feel. She has access to information on countless tragedies, but in her head, they're just numbers. It's just information. But this, this is something terrible that happened to someone she knows well.

And yet, she can't really imagine what it must have been like.

"I think I understand, about my father. I remember he once told me that our struggle to become human, to become better, is what is important, not the end result. I think that he may have lost sight of that idea now that he has attained what he chased for so many years."

"Yes. Perhaps that is the case." She doesn't fully understand the concept. Then again, she's not had the years of experience her father or Tasha have. But, she's not going to question it at the moment. She would rather the conversation remain on the lighter side of things.

"How is your head feeling?"

"Two weeks, the first time." The only time Lal uses precise measurements is when she wants to annoy her father. Or when precision is required, for some reason.

"This time, nearly three years, including the time I've been here."

"A car?" She would think this was some kind of an attempt at a joke, if it were anyone else. "Where is it? Shuttlebay?"

"He just sounds interesting, that's all." As long as he isn't as annoying as her father's ship could be. "I've never heard of artificial intelligence from that far in the past. Well, from Earth, anyway."
