Episode premise:

Kivas Fajo is determined to add the unique Data to his prized collection of one-of-a-kind artefacts and, staging Data’s apparent death, he imprisons him aboard his ship.

We know that Data is later logically coerced to lie in “Clues” to protect the crew, but this appears to be a decision all his own. Or did he not in fact actually fire the weapon?

    Data’s answer was “you don’t want the real answer” and Riker and O’Brien decided they didn’t.

      Seems like it. Kinda wish he noticed the start of his beam out, then quickly put the disruptor on overload and threw it toward Fajo. The trek equivalent of not looking back at the explosion.
