If I recall, his exact words were "Perhaps something happened during the transport," which is one of those kinds of deliberately ambiguous statements that's constructed so it's technically true no matter what. Checking the script again, Riker asserted that the weapon had discharged, so Data wasn't actually obligated to give any answer; it was not a question. But he did deliberately omit the truth by offering an explanation that he knew to be false. If not meeting quite the burden of a lie, I think it is coming very close. Either way, a very eyebrow raising character development moment. In the beginning of Menage a Troi, Riker checkmates a Ferengi and Wesley declares he perfectly played "A Queen's Gambit finishing with the Aldebran Exchange." Interesting that the terminology of Queen's Gambit still exists in 3D-chess, I'm curious how much elaboration of that game's ruleset there has actually been. --- https://imgur.com/u5kY6Yt https://imgur.com/V6HBhkR <cite>Doe posted [p:952014451] in My Star Tr...
