In an effort to bring Data to him so that he could install the emotion chip, he activated a homing device that forced Data to hijack the USS Enterprise-D in order to travel to Terlina III. Three years later, however, he was discovered to be alive and secluded in the jungle of Terlina III, where Soong and Juliana had fled after the attack and where he had continued his work to create a perfect emotion chip for his son Data. Soong was believed to have been killed on Omicron Theta, in the Crystalline Entity's attack, when this massacre was uncovered in 2364. In a recorded message, Soong told their "son" Data about his mother and that he had always regretted putting his work before his wife, admitting that the "original" Juliana would have also left him under the circumstances. ![]() When Soong began to become too caught up in his work, she later divorced Soong, moved away, and remarried. The new android design was so advanced that she never realized she was not the original Juliana. The Juliana android, though still a Soong-type design, greatly advanced Soong's goal of replicating Human abilities in an android. Unable to let Juliana go, Noonian transferred his comatose wife's memories into an advanced android body before her passing. Because Soong thought Lore to be still abandoned in pieces on Omicron Theta, he did not research how to correct the flaws in Lore's design or integrate the advancements he later made into Lore, which was his original intention.Ī hologram of Doctor Soong from around the time of Juliana's creation Some of the research that he did after the attack involved the creation of an upgrade chip to Data that would, among other things, give him the ability to experience the range of Human emotions previously unavailable to him. Soong knew Data had been rescued and followed his life in secret, but assumed that Lore had been left disassembled and inert. The inert body of Data and the disassembled body of Lore were left behind on the colony, to be discovered later by Starfleet. In 2338, when the colony on Omicron Theta came under attack by the Crystalline Entity, Soong escaped, but his wife was fatally injured, and he was assumed dead while in fact he continued his research in secret at a new location. Despite lacking emotional ability and requiring a "learning" period, Data advanced further and more quickly than Doctor Soong had originally hoped. For this reason, he had Lore deactivated and began work on his fifth attempt: Data, who was the most successful. Lore, the fourth attempt, displayed tremendous advances in cognitive abilities and interaction but had difficulty in adapting to ethical subroutines designed to facilitate interaction among Humans and was emotionally unstable. ![]() B-4 was a relatively primitive android, capable of only the most basic speech and motorization. Each of the androids created by the Soongs represented an advancement and refinement of the potential for their creations. Together, they perfected his design and built functional androids with advanced artificial intelligence. While living on Omicron Theta, Soong met and fell in love with Juliana O'Donnell and the pair married in secret on Mavala IV, keeping their relationship secret because Juliana's mother disapproved of her daughter's involvement with a much older man their intention was to show her later that they could make their relationship work. ( ENT: " The Augments" TNG: " Datalore", " Inheritance" Star Trek Nemesis) Traveling under an assumed name to a colony on Omicron Theta, he continued his research, unbeknownst to anyone but his neighbors. After failing to deliver on his promises, the disgraced and utterly humiliated Soong disappeared. An associate of Ira Graves, as well as a star scientist of the Federation in his own right, Soong's early work was highly regarded, and he promised breakthroughs on the positronic brain. He was a descendant of 22nd century criminal geneticist Arik Soong, who started work in cybernetics that his descendants, down to Noonian, continued. Soong was the designer of at least six Soong-type androids: Data, Lore, B-4, and a recreation of his wife Juliana, as well as two prototypes. ![]()
