#superior positronic model! (Lore soong)

[lettherebemonsters]

“Is something wrong, brother?” — To Lore, from B-4! :3

" Huh?"

Lore had been lost in thought, which was incredible given how many strings of thought he could have at any given time.

He was reminiscing on Omicron Theta....where he and his brothers had Bern created....and where he had first been destroyed.

" No Bee, I'm okay. I'm just....remembering when I first activated...."

[lettherebemonsters]

Jokes were easier to understand with emotions since they elicited an immediate reactionary response. Though as much as Lore would love to school his twin on the art of 'jokes', he was too busy in something very important.....petting the kitty.

Lore walked over to the newly created cat food. Hmmm....the replicator had a lot of suggestions....

" Maybe I can try a new blend a day? See which one he likes more and change it up so it doesn't get boring..."

Lore did take the bowl and place it on the ground, plopping Salem next to the bowl. The Maine Coon sniffed at the offering and eagerly munched away while Lore was giving Data a thumbs-up.

Lore had meant it as a joke, and he noticed his brother was thinking on what he said. Even though it was a micro-fraction of a second, it seemed forever.....

Enough to get Lore to roll his eyes at Data.

" Brother, you really need to learn how to interpret jokes."

Thankfully the cat was the more important thing, and Lore was far more eager to spoil his new cat than to argue the semantics of bad jokes with his by-the-book twin.

Surprisingly, Salem tolerated Lore giving him a hug, the android enjoying cuddling the kitty as Salem purred softly.

" Agreed. I'm thinking maybe he'd enjoy a fish supplement with some chicken? Cats are obligate carnivores by nature and a lot of their preferred foods in a feral environment are fish and small animals..."

"Lore, you like the heavy shit too, huh? We should talk earth classics, yes?" | from Ras / @infernusfuror

Lore didn't trust organics, and it showed in the way he stared hard at Ras. Immediately the android was trying to see whether or not the flesh organic was a threat or just damn annoying.

" Why the Hell would I want to talk Earth classics?"

He enjoyed the classics but he considered it a weakness given to him by his mother. His love of arts directly thanks to her. But she helped destroy him......she deserved to be forgotten.

@infernusfuror

[lettherebemonsters]

Lore was impressed…..barely anyone remembered classics like Poison….

“ What can I say? I like their looks. Outside of GWAR, how many bands do you know that dressed up as demons and refused to take off the costume no matter what….”

He shrugged and re-engaged the radio, now playing Metallica’s Enter Sandman.

“ Love me some Poison, but you can’t beat the legend of Metallica….”

“I know a few,” he says. “Is fun genre. I respect the choice. Unique enough.” Ras tosses himself into a nearby seat, feet kicked up, knee-high boots quite a statement. He folds his hands behind his head and listens. “Influenced many. No doubt. Their later material, though….mn. Trite. Old stuff, respectable. Is just my opinion, though.”

Someone’s certainly made himself at home.

@infernusfuror​

“ Can you please not use my coffee table as a foot rest? I have a perfectly good reclining chair two inches to your left that you can use...”

Lore hated having guests because a lot of the times he had to deal with people being disrespectful to his furniture. A lot of it impossible to replace, and difficult to repair.

Lore plopped himself onto his couch.

“ Okay Mr. Bigshot, what’s your preferred bands from the time?”

[lettherebemonsters]

“ It is not our enemies that defeat us. It is our fear. ” ⸺ For Lore from Picard!

Unlike his brother who he saw be more at ease, Lore instead showed tension that he struggled to hide under a cocky smile and attitude.

Frankly, his experience with father figures and authority had been horrific. He only saw anyone as a threat, and that's how he seemed around Picard.

All it would take was a flip of the switch and he could order Lore dismantled permanently.

" Does this mean you're scared of me? Or should I be scared of you...."

[lettherebemonsters]

@my-timing-is-digital

With the amount of times that Lore has switched their identities, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been arrested together sometime!

Doodle Commissions!

[lettherebemonsters]

❝  did you want to be alone?  ❞ — For Lore!

" Oh just shut up and get in here..."

He all but yanked his brother into his quarters. He was being cautious, looking up at the ceiling.

" I think there's a cat in the panels...."

@my-timing-is-digital

[lettherebemonsters]

Even though I'm not a fan of Star Trek: Picard and the "new Trek" stuff, you definitely know my Lore muse is going to freaking Skyrocket.

MY BITCH BABY IS BACK. ;A;

[lettherebemonsters]

I definitely do believe that Lore has an artistic program just like his brother Data, but instead of more "passive" art he prefers art with an "edge. "

Ironically, Lore used to enjoy colorful art just like Data, but betrayal, abuse, torture and his own spiraling android mental illness made him more aggressive, temperamental and just more like he's stuck in his " It's not a phase mom! It's who I am!" Stage in life.

So you'll see Data prefer Mozart and Van Gogh, while Lore prefers Disturbed and Simon Bisley.

Don't be surprised if you hear very loud noises coming from the Holodecks.....Lore probably commandeered the biggest one to throw a massive mosh pit concert.

[lettherebemonsters]

Lore kind of HAD to take it better. He was completely at Soji's mercy with absolutely no clue as to what had happened in the past few decades that he had been locked away in a box and forgotten.

Hearing that she broke apart Borg metal structures impressed even Lore. He whistled.

" I helped engineer that shit. Unless they're outsourcing engineering parts to a penal colony somewhere than you've got some serious high density synthetic fiber going on inside you."

Lore was one of the few in the known universe that understood exactly what she was talking about. As much as Often-Wrong liked to dismiss Lore as another failure, Lore was every bit as wicked smart as Data had been (and in his mind, he was smarter.)

" That son of a bitch did it. He figured out how to recreate sperm using artificial neurons and embed them into existing ovum. Often-Wrong talked about going back to the drawing board with Arik Soong's engineered humans..."

This was A LOT to take in.....but thankfully he wasn't about to fry himself. Yet anyways. He only new that Data had died.....but not before somehow doing the absolutely impossible. He had managed to sire a child.

As much as Lore hated to admit it.....Data had beaten him this round.....

Data.....Lore was always a mixed bag of emotions. But this.....now knowing Data was gone.....he hadn't felt anything like this before. Not since the destruction of Omicron Theta.

"......I'm all that's left, am I? The broken down mess Often-Wrong couldn't wait to get rid of fast enough...."

Lore and being nice were anathema. While Lore hadn't started out aggressive and sinister, the damage done to him both during development on Omicron Theta, on top of the general attitude towards synthetic life that wasn't named Data, had done a good job at making him extremely hostile towards organics.

But this strange girl did what nobody had ever even tried to do for him.....she helped him. She repaired for him. She.....worried about him....

Seeing her bounce back and forth with her thoughts was kind of funny....until she Saud the one thing he never, ever, EVER expected.

His niece....

The look of shock he had mirrored Soji and it was by sheer lucky he didn't go haywire again. Instead, after a microsecond (a lifetime for an android), he tried to move his hand. Unfortunately he was locked down pretty tightly so he couldn't touch her....could feel. Trying to see any seams, and joints....anything that showed she was an android.

His voice barely holding back the shock he felt with superhuman intensity.

" What the f....fudge."

He caught himself and managed to make his swear more g-rated. Followed up by more shock.

" But....You're organic? How....how is this possible?"

[lettherebemonsters]

No matter how old he got, Lore is still that shithead we all know and love.

[lettherebemonsters]

Lore didn’t realize his brother had zero understanding of a hug. He had assumed that Dr. Soong had at least TRIED to upload the very basic of human motions.....after all, affection was literally the first thing he had remembered experiencing although just from their mother.

“ Bee......it’s a hug. Didn’t Mother and Father teach you about hugs?”

Bee was the eldest.....but still so young. It was shocking, though not surprising.....the Soongs had a tendency to kill off the children that failed to meet their standards before they reached their potential. Only Data survived this happening to him.....something that irked Lore but that he was also glad for.

At least one brother escaped that pain....

❛ my expectations were low but holy fuck. ❜ Seven of nine @ lore

Lore gave Seven a tense look. He didn't know WHAT was going on but suddenly the few Borg that survived extinction were now stripped of wires and judging HIM?

While they pretended to be the very beings that had cast them out time and again?

" I should say the same about you, Annika Hansen. Oh wait....you're not Annika anymore, are you? Nah.....you just like pretending you're a drone that's worth her circuitry...."

[lettherebemonsters]

(for Lore) "What is your favorite book?"

" It's hard to pick just one. I have so many, thanks to my mo.....um.....Julianna bringing her entire book collection from Earth to Omicron Theta.

I enjoyed reading Edgar Allen Poe......I even enjoyed the Bronte Sisters. I know it's archaic but I enjoyed their stories. If I had to pick a favorite story, it'd be Wuthering Heights."

[lettherebemonsters]

" Surprise, bitch. Thought you saw the last of me, didn't cha?"
