Marr dismisses Data’s empathy claim

Not directly observable, but inferred as a source of frustration and longing for Marr—his research represents both a scientific opportunity and a painful reminder of what was taken from her.

Dr. Clendenning is referenced only in passing, his name invoked as part of the colonists’ synaptic patterns transferred to Data. He does not appear physically in the turbolift, but his …
