Tamarin Frost
Tamarin frost arrives at Timothy's table in Ten-Forward, a chilled dessert he orders with robotic exactness despite insisting androids require no sustenance. The waiter delivers it promptly amid Troi's probing questions, and Timothy engages it as part of his Data-mimicking routine. This act exposes the fracture in his constructed identity, as he consumes what his persona should reject, drawing Troi's focused attention to his suppressed humanity.
