It's amazing how much free time Data has now that he's been fired from his job in the mines. Money has definitely become a problem (or, to be accurate, more of a problem), he's due to be evicted from his shabby Flag Hill apartment at the end of the month, and finding another job has been impossible so far, but the upside has definitely been gaining the freedom to explore Baedal extensively at night.

He'd heard about this grand opening on the Network; the cover charge is cheap and he's intrigued by the skyrail, so he decides to make an evening of it. The view from the train is informative enough to make the entire trip worth it, and when he reaches the Gravity Well station, it's obvious that the party's going strong.

Socializing has never been one of Data's talents, but that hasn't stopped him before, and it's not going to stop him now. He heads straight for the club (because that's where most of the other people are heading), though he's a little unsure of what to do once he's there. Eventually he decides to have a seat in the lounge, since all the styles of dancing he observes are unfamiliar to him. The music is still perfectly audible from here, and he listens with interest while he people-watches.
