A quick note for anyone who is uncertain if you will enjoy our stories because you are not familiar with Star Trek: The Next Generation. We have tried to make our site as friendly as possible for non-Trekkies. We have included a Characters page which gives a run down of the existing characters and species from the series. We do believe, however, that our stories can be enjoyed by people with very limited or no knowledge of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Love is love and sex is sex no matter the setting. Here is a very basic run down of our two main characters: Data: Lt. Cmdr. Data is the second officer on the USS Enterprise. For the first 26 years of his life he had no emotions. An emotion chip had been created by his father, Dr. Noonien Soong, but had been stolen by Lore. He installed the chip a few years after getting it back. Data cannot use contractions so his speech is very formal. Lore: Lore was created first but was disassembled by Noonien Soong because of corruption of his programming. Lore was created with emotions and can use contractions. He is much more at ease around humans than Data. Common Traits: In terms of construction, Data and Lore are exactly the same except for some minor programming. Both are "fully functional" programmed with "multiple techniques for a broad variety of pleasuring." They require no nurishment or rest. I hope you enjoy your time on our site.
