The program responded variously depending upon the identity of whomever was accessing it. |

||
| − | Soong designed Tainer to be unaware of her android nature, initializing her consciousness to pick up from the point of the attack on Omicron Theta by the Crystalline Entity that had left Juliana O'Donnell in an irreversible coma. Soong programmed Tainer to shut down in the unlikely event of her android nature being discovered. The relationship between Soong and Tainer continued for a long, but unspecified period of time, souring when Soong became too focused on his work. Tainer left Soong – something that Soong noted the 'original' Julianna would have done as well. She eventually made her way to [[Atrea IV]], where she met and married the [[Atrean]] [[scientist]] Pran Tainer, becoming his assistant. |

||
| − | In [[2370]], the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} arrived at Atrea IV to assist in planetary core experiments. Data and Tainer were reunited, although Data was unaware of her possible role in his life as his formative memories of those [[day]]s had been erased. Although Data was initially uncertain about how he should feel about Tainer's claims regarding her role in his initial design and early development, a conversation with [[Geordi La Forge]] convinced him that he should not avoid Tainer due to his inability to remember her. From this point he began to spend time with Tainer, addressing her as his mother. Data and Tainer bonded over their mutual creative outlet, Data playing [[violin]] and Tainer, the viola. Tainer shortly revealed that she was responsible for leaving Data behind on Omicron Theta because she was afraid of him turning out like Lore. |

||
| − | During the mission, Tainer was injured and her true nature as an android was discovered.

From this, Data chose not to reveal Tainer's status as an android to her. Data's decision regarded the happiness he believed Tainer obtained from her false belief in her humanity. Data prioritized this over whatever satisfaction he may have received in the shared knowledge of their android nature. Before Tainer departed, Data told her that Soong had once told him that he only ever had one great love in his life, expressing his certainty that she was the object of that love.

Revision as of 06:49, 23 July 2019
Juliana O'Donnell was a female Human scientist in the 24th century.
Born in 2303, O'Donnell lived at the Omicron Theta colony. She met Doctor Noonian Soong on the colony, and the two fell in love. However, her mother disapproved of their relationship due to the age gap, so they met in secret. They boarded the SS Wisconsin in 2328 to get married in secret on Mavala IV. Though they had no biological children, she considered each of the Soong-type androids like children.
O'Donnell assisted Soong in his work on artificial lifeforms, and helped create the android Data, as well as his four predecessors, including Lore and B-4. When creating Data, Juliana was responsible for giving Data the capability to later play music and paint, as well as other creative outlets, feeling that he deserved a chance to express himself even if he lacked the emotional capacity to explore that side of himself.
When the Crystalline Entity attacked the colony in 2338, the Soongs fled the planet, leaving Data and his "brother", Lore, behind. The two made their way to the Terlina system; however, Juliana was seriously injured in the attack, and fell into a coma.
In a last attempt to preserve her memory, Soong built a new android, one indistinguishable from a Human, and transferred his wife's memories into it, using a synaptic scanning technique. Following Juliana's death, Soong activated the android, who remained unaware of her new state of being. (TNG: "Inheritance")
The okudagram of Juliana's medical records indicate that she would have been 67 years old in 2370. (TNG: "Inheritance")
