Data is never late for work. Despite the fact that his employers don't seem to like him much, they do appreciate that. His coworkers, on the other hand, seem to resent it, which is curious—such a thing was never looked down upon in Starfleet—but perhaps it is simply a part of the culture here.
Tonight, he's left his tiny apartment in time to be fifteen minutes early (or, alternately, to deal with any obstacles that may waylay his progress toward the mines). It's the same time he always leaves. This is the first night, however, that he's come across anything out of the ordinary while en route.
The bright display is difficult to miss, and looks potentially dangerous. Data can see two individuals from his position on the path toward Chnum, and quickly makes the decision to investigate in case they're in trouble or harmed. Electricity is one of the few elements that is able to damage him, but he can be repaired, and the same cannot always be said of carbon-based lifeforms.
“Excuse me,” he calls as he approaches, “but I saw the electricity discharge from the path and became concerned by your presence so close to the high voltage. Are you harmed?”
