What ever happen to Lore??

[Pharaoh Atem]

what ever happen to data's brother ?? and how do you think he would re act to data's death

[Frinky]

I'm pretty sure that Data deactivated him for good at the end of 'Descent, pt 2'. If Lore was still around, I don't really know how he would react..Lore seemed to love Data as a brother, but didn't hesitate to try to kill or manipulate him when it suited his purposes.

[the Fifth Race]

In 2370, Lore hooked up with a group of Borg that had been separated from the collective. He became there leader while luring Data to his side to fight against the Federation. Eventually the group of Borg turned on Lore and Data had to shoot and deactivate Lore. If you remember, Lore's last words were "I love you, brother". Data did not believe Lore so he totally dismantled him while swiping Lore's emotion chip.

If I remember right Data only used the "emotion chip" once after taking it from Lore. I believe it was in the movie Generations.

Data stated very clearly at the end of Descent, Part 2, that it was imperative that Lore be disassembled immediately. Personally, I find that to be a bit of a crap end for the character. Especially considering a) that was the way they found him and he was very bitter about it; and b) Data and Picard themselves established the basic rights to life held by artificial life forms.

[Missster.Freeman]

Yeah, Picard and Data essentially acted as Lore's, Judge, Jury and executioners. But in the end, it was really the only thing they could do. I can't think of anything more scary than a artificial lifeform with a personality disorder.

Let's remeber the shape of the emotion chip did change between Decent Pt 2 and Generations. in Descent it was located in the finder and in Generation is was located in the back of Data's head.

I totally agree. How many more chances should they have given Lore to wipe out humanity?

[Elite Anubis Guard]

One thing that always made me wonder was B4. I thought it might have been Lore that the Remans had reprogramed.

[Pharaoh Atem]

so was lore completely destroyed then

It's called a "trial"

[DigiFluid]

As far as we know, he was only disassembled, not destroyed outright.

[Starbase]

Thats correct Lore was not totally destroyed, he was disassembled but his posi-tronic brain was left intact, so conceivably he could be reassembled and brought back to life.

[Missster.Freeman]

Lore could've been rebuilt, this time leaving out his emotion chip. But would the lack of emotions make him benign? He still would've had memories of his violent past, unless they wiped his memory clean.

However, knowing how devious Lore was, he might have constructed a new emotion chip and hid it somewhere in his body, and kept a hidden backup of his personality.

Lore doesn't need an emotion chip to be devious, it's part of his basic construction. He didn't even have the emotion chip till the fourth season. And by then, he had already betrayed both Omicron Theta and the Enterprise to the Crystalline Entity, as well as attacked his brother and tricked Soong into thinking that he was Data so that he could steal the emotion chip.

[Missster.Freeman]

Ah, of course. Your memory is much better than mine.
