[edit] Ship-wide diagnostics

When a ship-wide diagnostic was run aboard the Enterprise-D, did Data get the works as well? During one such diagnostic a dekyon field modulation was found in his positronic subprocessors, suggesting Data got treated like a piece of the ship in such circumstances. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Archer4real (talk • contribs) .

Hi, in "Cause and Effect", the shipwide diagnostic took place after they already knew that the dekyon field was involved with the anomalies they were experiencing. The field itself is actually not part of the ship, so it's not surprising that they found a localized modulation in Data while diagnosticating the ship with a particular focus on dekyon phenomena. --TribbleFurSuit 19:12, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
