It's not Data, it's clearly Lore playing a cruel joke...
...Data cannot use contractions
Yeah, I imagine this interaction with Data would go more like:
“Chief OBrien, is it not true that humans prefer to go to a party with people they like? Since that is true, my party would not be successful if I had invited you.”
"Commander Riker made it clear that he would only attend if you were on duty for the duration of the party, to limit the odds that you will randomly drop in and discover the party despite not being invited. However lieutenant LaForge said that would not be necessary because he could create a lockout on that deck for your bio signature."
"But my quarters are on that deck."
"That is unfortunate. Perhaps you could recreate the party on the holodeck. For accuracy, your programming should take account for commander Riker's suggestion to lieutenant Worf to act like an 'angry drunk klingon wanting to pick a fight' if you did show up."
"Pick a fight with me!?"
"Commander Riker did not specify that parameter. Please standby for one moment. Chief O'Brian, Commander Riker has requested I inform you that they were merely joking with Worf. He also liked the holographic party idea. Please program the transporter to automatically transport you from the door to my quarters to the same place in holodeck 2, where lieutenant LaForge is programming a realistic version of the party. Data out."
O'Brien has been a captive of Ethan the entire time. The Enterprise knows. They just don't care.
This one made me sad, Data would totally invite O'brien! He'd just tell Keiko to stay away, as his cat Spot has already made his disdain for her quite clear, and it would risk their relationship to invite her to his quarters.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
