WTF?

This is a still from TNG S4E3: Brothers, featured is Dr. Noonian Soong's labratory on Terlina III immediately after he is attacked by an enraged Lore. He is one of the most talented and accomplished scientists to have ever lived, the only person to have successfully created a fully functional and conscious android and he has lived alone on the uninhabited jungle planet of Terlina III for three years with no living wife, children or cohabitants. WHY WOULD HE HAVE THIS??? OIDOI(&#&(P#@&(YDWP*MP*SA???!??!?!?!?
