Data's Draw — Humiliation as Victory

Burke is present among the gathered crew, taking in the spectacle while sharing in the relief; he remains alert but participates in the celebratory atmosphere.

Pulaski barges into Ten‑Forward with Riker, pushes through the crowd to embrace Data, prods him to accept the crew's interpretation that he has 'beaten' Kolrami, and savors the moment with characteristic blunt affection.

Kolrami sits opposite Data, rapidly moving through plays until the counter skyrockets; when the game is suspended he reacts with visible rage, shame, and confusion, then abruptly exits Ten‑Forward in public disgrace.

The Ten‑Forward Cheering Crew surges to surround Data, audibly celebrating as the digital counter climbs and Kolrami departs; their physical enthusiasm transforms the intellectual duel into communal catharsis.

Wesley watches the counter climb from the Hathaway viewscreen earlier and then stands in Ten‑Forward, elated and awed by the sustained strategic move and Data's explanation.

Data sits at the Strategema table, deliberately reframes his objective to engineer a perpetual stalemate, explains his logic to the gathered officers, and accepts the crew's physical congratulations with a newly recognized sense of pride.

Worf stands within the inner circle, visibly impressed by the unprecedented score, lending his stoic approval and linking the tactical ruse to prior Klingon‑style guile employed in the battle.

Riker arrives with Pulaski, takes in the soaring digital counter, forces his way into the inner circle, congratulates Data and shares the crew's delight—acting as both celebrant and emissary of the bridge command.

Troi leans into Data's space, offers empathic encouragement and helps coax him toward accepting the crew's celebratory framing of his action as a 'win.'

Geordi stands amid the crowd, energized and curious, asking Data for a technical explanation and celebrating the ingenuity that solved the crisis without conventional force.
