Geordi is inspecting a mining operation being run by Dr. Farallon. She is particularly pleased with her exocomps--robots which can 'think' and adapt to various problems in order to fix them. However, over time, Data starts to believe that these simple looking machines actually might have many of the attributes of living, sentient beings. If if they ARE possessing these attributes, then it means that the Doctor should NOT be using them and exposing them to danger. Is Data right or is he simply looking for something in these exocomps that would make them kindred spirits?
This is a mildly interesting episode. And, it's worth seeing...I guess.
