~Chapter 1~ Tasha

[A rewrite of TNG's Skin of Evil]

If things had gone only a little bit differently, everything might've changed.

*****

When Lt. Commander Data nearly sacrifices himself to save Lt. Yar from a creature that is the embodiment of pure evil, she discovers that feelings she thought she had buried aren't so far below the surface.

As for Data, he is increasingly occupied with what may be his very first feelings of emotions as he works to save the Enterprise and ultimately, win the heart of Tasha Yar.
