Varria's Sabotaged PADD (Neural Overload Device)

Varria’s tricorder-like device is the tool that scans and extracts Data’s positronic matrix, reducing his sentience to a digital inventory. As she sweeps it over his collapsed body, it reads out the technical specifications of his components—‘Twenty-four point six kilos of tripolymer composites’—as if he were a rare artifact. The device is not just a scanner; it is the instrument of his dehumanization, turning a living being into a line item in Fajo’s collection. Its data is transmitted to Fajo’s agents, ensuring Data’s theft is documented and his identity erased.

Varria’s tricorder-like device is used to scan Data’s immobile body immediately after the neural overload. It extracts detailed data on his positronic components, including tripolymer composites, molybdenum-cobalt alloys, and bioplast sheeting. The scan is transmitted to Fajo’s technicians, who log the information into a PADD. This device is essential for the abduction, as it allows Fajo to replicate or control Data’s systems later. Its clinical precision contrasts with the moral weight of the act, emphasizing the cold efficiency of the operation.

Varria’s tricorder-like device is used to scan Data’s positronic components after he is incapacitated by the sabotaged PADD. The device extracts detailed specifications of his internal structure—including tripolymer composites, molybdenum-cobalt alloys, and bioplast sheeting—within seconds. This data is transmitted wirelessly to Fajo’s agents, enabling them to log Data’s unique composition for his collection. The scan is precise and efficient, serving as the first step in his abduction and ensuring Fajo’s team has a complete inventory of their prize.
