it is a funeral.

[Well. That was certainly something.

Emotions are clearly high, so for once, Data steps out of his helper role and takes on the brunt of organizing the after-trial gathering. He's seen enough of them by now to know what's what. He's also seen more than enough in this particular trial to decide that the bar, while possibly being the most logical location, may be distressing to some! So instead, we're gonna do something different. Data will deliver invitations, that sort of look like a computer printed them, to each of the rooms:]


Please come to the ice cream parlor if you would like company at this time.

- Data

[Everybody likes ice cream!

There are no decorations, but there are some snack selections from the buffet and the cafe, depending on what you want, and a tray or two of mixed drinks courtesy of Jimmy Buffett. Data and Parker are both here. If you're sad, you may pet Parker (probably). If you're too depressed to make your own fancy sundae, Data will do it for you (definitely).]

It's not just that. Jones stopped him and told him something. There was a reason the Kraken had to kill Alice and he couldn't.

Perhaps Magica is correct, and there is some ritualistic reason for all of this.

[onlyyoucan]

But what would it even do? What's so important to him?

[ltcommandroid]

Historically, the answer is most likely power of some sort. Financial, political, or otherwise.

Whatever he wants, it's something he can't get with all the abilities he already has, but...

[ltcommandroid]

He may have great power in one arena, but not in others.

Probably. We don't know enough, but there has to be more we can get without somebody else dying.
