"Do you mean his argument was that good?"


"Riker's presentation was devastating. He almost convinced me."


"You've got the harder argument. By his own admission, Data is a machine."

 

"That's true."

 

"You're worried about what's going to happen to him?"


"I've had to send people on far more dangerous missions."

 

"Then this should work out fine. Maddox could get lucky and create a whole army of Datas, all very valuable."

 

"Oh, yes. No doubt."

 

"He's proved his value to you."


"In ways that I cannot even begin to calculate."


"And now he's about to be ruled the property of Starfleet. That should increase his value."

 

"In what way?"


"Well, consider that in the history of many worlds there have always been disposable creatures. They do the dirty work. They do the work that no one else wants to do because it's too difficult, or too hazardous. And an army of Datas, all disposable...you don't have to think about their welfare, you don't think about how they feel. Whole generations of disposable people."


"You're talking about slavery."


"I think that's a little harsh."


"I don't think that's a little harsh. I think that's the truth. But that's a truth we have obscured behind a comfortable, easy euphemism. Property. But that's not the issue at all, is it? "

"Your Honor, the courtroom is a crucible. In it we burn away irrelevancies until we are left with a pure product, the truth for all time. Now, sooner or later, this man or others like him will succeed in replicating Commander Data. And the decision you reach here today will determine how we will regard this creation of our genius. It will reveal the kind of a people we are, what he is destined to be. It will reach far beyond this courtroom and this one android. It could significantly redefine the boundaries of personal liberty and freedom, expanding them for some, savagely curtailing them for others. Are you prepared to condemn him and all who come after him to servitude and slavery? Your Honor, Starfleet was founded to seek out new life. Well, there it sits. Waiting. You wanted a chance to make law. Well, here it is. Make a good one."

"You hoped that something like this would happen, didn’t you? You knew there was a dangerous creature on this planet and you knew, from the Tale of Darmok, that a danger shared, might sometimes bring two people together. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra. You and me, here, at El-Adrel."
