(Lt. Commander Data) “Sir, Lieutenant La Forge’s eyes are far superior to human biological eyes, true?”

(Lt. Commander Data) “Then why are not all human officers required to have their eyes replaced with cybernetic implants?”
(Lt. Commander Data) “I see. It is precisely because I am not human.”
Tbh I agree with Data. It’s absurd that they don’t go full AdMech and replace all their fleshy bits with machine bits. Maybe I just crave the strength and certainty of steel more than the average human.
