      Then how can Data assume control of the ship just by using other people’s voices and codes?

          But wouldn’t the computer then a) never recognize any command given by Data (as Data)?, and 2) not recognize any command from Data pretending to be someone else because that someone else is elsewhere in the ship?

          Data is fully functional so he must have a biosign emulator up his ass

        As an android he could in theory fake the biometrics the computer looks for, his design is organically inspired, hence why he breathes for temperature control and has a blood analog flowing through his “veins”
