Injured and in hiding is the assumption. At this point I just think it’s likely he doesn’t want to be found.
<Snipped quote by Source>
Oh, I can only imagine.
Do you know how I was injured?

Do you know how I was injured?
<Snipped quote by System>
I still can’t tell whether to treat you as the original or not. It’s not offensive that I keep talking to you like you’re not him, is it?
<Snipped quote by Source>
*Nods*
Thanks again. Sorry to leave you so quickly.
I can rationalize it. That said, where is the original?
<Snipped quote by Source>
It was more than you know. Really.
<Snipped quote by System>
I don’t know about your capabilities compared to your original counterpart. Here’s hoping I’m not asking too much.
In the worst case, consider myself expendable. I should be able to take measures the original Data would avoid.
<Snipped quote by System>
*My ears flick in excitement*
Great! Thank you. Including you, Prism.
Certainly; we can't leave any loose ends untied.
*Connects several of the magical artifacts to my arms and stores the rest with the weapons in a utility belt*
<Snipped quote by System>
Great, so your knowledge just wasn’t blanket wiper without discretion. To put it simply, you got inexorably tied up in the deep end with us over something that happened. We’ll call it an infohazard data breach. And we’ve been looking for the mystery culprit for a while. A very, very strong candidate just surfaced. Unsourced use of the elements on the grounds of an ancient village on a dead world, and I want to confront him… No, I need to.
*Heads toward a corner of the lab and slides open a cleanly-integrated, previously unnoticeable panel, displaying a series of weapons and artifacts*
We'll leave immediately.
<Snipped quote by System>
Without divulging too much, for safety’s sake, I’ll share what I can. You are, at minimum, aware of the Hidden Elements as they exist, yes? Along with Rythian, myself, and Zoey, at minimum?
I'm familiar with the term and those names, yes.
<Snipped quote by System>
Something along those lines… All that said, just because you’re an… “instance” of Data, we’ll say, that doesn’t mean I should assume you’re fine with me waking you and expecting to help no questions asked. That would be rude, I think.
Certainly I'd like to know the nature of your quest. It must be urgent.
<Snipped quote by System>
That’s good. That’s really good.
<Snipped quote by Source>
It’s a lot better than what I was expecting, I’ll be honest with you.
I anticipate that you were expecting another android?
<Snipped quote by System>
I came by to get your- Data’s- help. Prism thought this one would be best, it seems. I have no clue of the details on “this protocol” specifically.
Then you may be in luck. As far as this instance can tell, I am Data. Minor setbacks notwithstanding.
<Snipped quote by System>
*Breathes a sigh of relief and smiles*
That’s a good sign. I apologize if the curiosity is overbearing, though.
Forgive me if I inquire later as to the cause. As for now, why activate this protocol?
