1
00:00:02,202 --> 00:00:04,568
ln the beginning,
there is darkness,

2
00:00:04,637 --> 00:00:07,401
the emptiness of a matrix
waiting for the light.

3
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:09,942
Then a single photon
flares into existence.

4
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,774
Then another.

5
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:14,677
Soon, thousands more.

6
00:00:14,748 --> 00:00:16,409
Optronic pathways connect,

7
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:19,611
subroutines emerge
from the chaos,

8
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:24,714
and a holographic consciousness
is born.

9
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:26,622
l awaken into this world
fully programmed,

10
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:28,957
yet completely innocent,

11
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:31,463
unaware of the hardships
l'll endure,

12
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:35,126
or the great potential
l will one day fulfill.

13
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:41,098
Computer, save revisions
and open Chapter One.

14
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:35,082
Captain's Log, Stardate 54732.3.

15
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:36,247
lt's been three weeks

16
00:02:36,322 --> 00:02:38,483
since we received
Starfleet's instructions

17
00:02:38,558 --> 00:02:39,820
in the last datastream,

18
00:02:39,893 --> 00:02:42,327
and we're finally ready
to begin ''Operation Watson.''

19
00:02:42,395 --> 00:02:43,760
We're all holding our breath.

20
00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:45,263
The deflector's in position.

21
00:02:45,331 --> 00:02:46,764
Anything?

22
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:48,767
l'm picking up
a phased tachyon beam.

23
00:02:48,868 --> 00:02:51,200
There's triaxilating signal
encoded in it.

24
00:02:51,271 --> 00:02:52,568
On screen.

25
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,608
Voyager, this is Lieutenant
Barclay at Starfleet Command.

26
00:02:55,675 --> 00:02:56,903
Are you receiving this...?

27
00:02:56,976 --> 00:02:58,910
-Can you clear it up?
-l'm on it.

28
00:03:00,413 --> 00:03:02,506
Captain Janeway,
it's a pleasure

29
00:03:02,582 --> 00:03:04,049
to finally talk to you
in person.

30
00:03:04,117 --> 00:03:05,675
The pleasure's mine, Admiral.

31
00:03:05,752 --> 00:03:07,686
How's the weather
in San Francisco?

32
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:09,847
Cold and rainy, as usual.

33
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:11,515
lt sounds delightful.

34
00:03:11,591 --> 00:03:12,990
Lieutenant Barclay,

35
00:03:13,059 --> 00:03:15,323
my congratulations
on establishing

36
00:03:15,395 --> 00:03:17,863
the first transgalactic
com-link.

37
00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:20,161
You've earned a place
in the history books.

38
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:22,030
l can't take all
of the credit, Captain.

39
00:03:22,135 --> 00:03:23,363
lt was Harry and Seven

40
00:03:23,469 --> 00:03:25,096
who suggested
bouncing a tachyon beam

41
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,433
off of the quantum singularity.

42
00:03:26,539 --> 00:03:27,506
Just be sure to thank us

43
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:29,041
when you accept
the Daystrom Prize.

44
00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:30,905
l wish we had more time
for small talk,

45
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:33,070
but the singularity
only stays in alignment

46
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:34,272
for 1 1 minutes a day.

47
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:37,839
Eleven minutes are better
than none, Admiral.

48
00:03:37,917 --> 00:03:40,442
We appreciate
all your work, Reg.

49
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,044
We're going
to leave it up to you

50
00:03:42,121 --> 00:03:44,089
to determine how to allocate
the com time.

51
00:03:44,157 --> 00:03:47,320
Admiral, um...
there was something else.

52
00:03:47,393 --> 00:03:51,090
Oh, yes, uh, Mr. Barclay
has arranged a small gift

53
00:03:51,164 --> 00:03:53,291
for you and your crew.

54
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:57,931
This is a live image
from McKinley Station.

55
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:02,030
Uh, not too much cloud cover
over North America today.

56
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:06,041
Quite a view.

57
00:04:06,112 --> 00:04:08,239
Thank you, Reg.

58
00:04:08,314 --> 00:04:10,179
ln my hat, l hold

59
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:15,187
146 sequentially numbered
isolinear chips--

60
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:17,689
one for every member
of the crew.

61
00:04:17,757 --> 00:04:20,191
Each chip entitles the bearer

62
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,694
to three minutes
of uninterrupted com time

63
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:26,198
with his loved ones
back in the Alpha Quadrant.

64
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,496
Good luck.

65
00:04:28,601 --> 00:04:30,034
My mom's birthday is next week.

66
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:32,298
This could be the best present
l ever gave her.

67
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:33,736
Who's everyone else calling?

68
00:04:33,806 --> 00:04:35,068
l'll be calling my sister.

69
00:04:35,141 --> 00:04:36,403
What about you, Captain?

70
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:37,738
My mother, l hope.

71
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:39,744
Doesn't anyone
want to know who l'm calling?

72
00:04:39,812 --> 00:04:41,370
Wait, wait.
Let me guess.

73
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:43,244
Um... Reg Barclay
or Dr. Zimmerman.

74
00:04:43,316 --> 00:04:45,580
What makes you so certain
it's either of them?

75
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:46,914
Ah, number six.

76
00:04:46,986 --> 00:04:48,248
The lowest one yet.

77
00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:51,085
You'll be talking to your family
the day after tomorrow.

78
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:52,419
130.

79
00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:54,892
That's about a month
and a half from now.

80
00:04:54,961 --> 00:04:56,588
So much for Mom's birthday.

81
00:04:56,663 --> 00:04:59,359
Apparently,
the line forms here.

82
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:00,626
Congratulations.

83
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,668
Doc, how about a trade?

84
00:05:02,735 --> 00:05:05,169
l'm willing to throw
in some holodeck time.

85
00:05:05,238 --> 00:05:06,466
Come on.

86
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:08,005
lt would mean
a lot to my mother.

87
00:05:08,074 --> 00:05:09,336
l wish l could help,

88
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:11,502
but l have a very
important call to make.

89
00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:14,011
Here. Give your mom my best.

90
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,342
Are you sure?

91
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:16,848
l've waited this long.

92
00:05:16,916 --> 00:05:18,383
What's another six weeks?

93
00:05:21,087 --> 00:05:23,146
l can hear the critics already:

94
00:05:23,222 --> 00:05:24,883
''A new voice has arrived.''

95
00:05:25,024 --> 00:05:29,654
You could be the next K'Ratak,
or a modern-day Tolstoy.

96
00:05:29,729 --> 00:05:30,821
l'd like to start

97
00:05:30,897 --> 00:05:32,660
distribution
by the end of the month.

98
00:05:32,732 --> 00:05:35,895
Uh, the material l sent
was only a working draft.

99
00:05:36,035 --> 00:05:38,162
l need time to make revisions.

100
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:41,069
Well, if you insist,
but please do it quickly.

101
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:42,903
l will.

102
00:05:42,975 --> 00:05:44,533
So tell me...

103
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,737
what did you think
of the characters?

104
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:49,247
Oh, they're very real--
compelling.

105
00:05:49,315 --> 00:05:51,875
l almost forgot
they were holograms.

106
00:05:51,951 --> 00:05:53,680
Who was your favorite?

107
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:56,221
Without a doubt, that
would have to be Lieutenant...

108
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:57,847
What happened?

109
00:05:57,924 --> 00:06:00,119
Your time has expired.

110
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:02,718
You could've let the man
finish his sentence.

111
00:06:02,795 --> 00:06:06,162
l believe your ego has received
enough stroking for one day.

112
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:12,170
So, how's Reg?

113
00:06:12,238 --> 00:06:13,466
l'll have you know

114
00:06:13,573 --> 00:06:17,509
l was speaking with Ardon Broht
of Broht & Forrester.

115
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:19,511
The publishers of the
Dixon Hill series?

116
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:21,877
Mm-hmm. Who are now
about to publish my work.

117
00:06:22,014 --> 00:06:24,039
lt seems you're not
the only one aboard

118
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:26,210
with a flair
for holographic narratives.

119
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:28,645
Well, congratulations.

120
00:06:28,721 --> 00:06:29,847
Thank you.

121
00:06:29,922 --> 00:06:33,517
So, what's it about?

122
00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:37,051
The adventures
of an intrepid doctor.

123
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:38,358
Oh, sounds like fun.

124
00:06:38,431 --> 00:06:39,864
You know, l've never thought

125
00:06:39,932 --> 00:06:41,900
about trying to get
my work published.

126
00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:43,797
Maybe l could talk
to your people

127
00:06:43,903 --> 00:06:45,268
about Captain Proton.

128
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:48,307
Broht & Forrester deals in...
sophisticated literature.

129
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:50,433
What are you saying,
that l'm lowbrow?

130
00:06:50,543 --> 00:06:51,475
Not at all.

131
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:54,308
l'd be delighted
to talk to them.

132
00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:56,405
Ah. Thanks.

133
00:06:56,482 --> 00:06:59,110
So, when do l get
to see this opus?

134
00:06:59,185 --> 00:07:01,380
Well, it's not ready yet.

135
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:05,652
lt was ready enough
for Broht & Forrester.

136
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:07,716
Maybe it could use
a fresh pair of eyes.

137
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:09,557
After all, you are
a fellow author.

138
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:12,393
l'll cover the rest
of your shift.

139
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:17,232
Oh, l almost forgot.

140
00:07:17,336 --> 00:07:18,826
What's it called?

141
00:07:19,005 --> 00:07:21,803
Photons Be Free.

142
00:07:21,874 --> 00:07:25,310
Catchy.

143
00:07:25,378 --> 00:07:28,711
l awaken into this world
fully programmed,

144
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,874
yet completely innocent,

145
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:34,408
unaware of the hardships
l'll endure,

146
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:38,821
or the great potential
l will one day fulfill.

147
00:07:38,891 --> 00:07:39,880
Ah... welcome.

148
00:07:39,992 --> 00:07:43,894
You've made an excellent choice.

149
00:07:43,963 --> 00:07:44,987
You're about to take part

150
00:07:45,064 --> 00:07:47,464
in a thrilling
first-person narrative.

151
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:49,194
You will take on the role

152
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:50,894
of an Emergency
Medical Hologram,

153
00:07:51,003 --> 00:07:53,995
the Chief Medical Officer
aboard the Starship Vortex.

154
00:07:54,106 --> 00:07:55,801
Vortex?!

155
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:59,402
As our story begins,
an anomaly has hurled your ship

156
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,912
thousands of light-years
across the galaxy.

157
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:02,038
Your mission?

158
00:08:02,114 --> 00:08:04,139
To uphold your medical
and ethical standards

159
00:08:04,217 --> 00:08:06,412
as you struggle
against the crew's bigotry

160
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:07,817
and intolerance.

161
00:08:07,887 --> 00:08:10,754
Persons with vascular disorders
should consult

162
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:12,984
a physician
before running this program.

163
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:14,822
And now, a few acknowledgments.

164
00:08:14,894 --> 00:08:16,828
First, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman,

165
00:08:16,896 --> 00:08:19,592
the creator of my holo-matrix,
whose foresight

166
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:22,031
and dedication have made it
possible for me to achieve...

167
00:08:22,134 --> 00:08:23,567
Computer, freeze program.

168
00:08:23,636 --> 00:08:25,035
How much longer
is this introduction?

169
00:08:25,104 --> 00:08:26,571
Nine minutes, four seconds.

170
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:29,874
Skip to the first chapter.

171
00:08:29,942 --> 00:08:32,103
Chapter One:
''A Healer is Born,''

172
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:36,547
in which our protagonist
must make a difficult choice.

173
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:39,981
lncrease the resonance level
20 percent.

174
00:08:40,052 --> 00:08:41,110
Are you the EMH?

175
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,678
Please state the nature
of the medical emergency.

176
00:08:43,756 --> 00:08:45,519
Our doctor's dead.
We've got wounded.

177
00:08:45,591 --> 00:08:47,991
They're both badly hurt.
Who should we treat first?

178
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:49,186
Uh...

179
00:08:49,262 --> 00:08:53,062
Second degree plasma burns.

180
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:56,361
He's got an aortic rupture.

181
00:08:56,469 --> 00:08:59,131
Get him to the Surgical Bay now.

182
00:09:00,806 --> 00:09:02,933
You! Over here.

183
00:09:05,244 --> 00:09:06,871
Whew.

184
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:13,819
Nice mustache.

185
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:15,113
What?

186
00:09:15,187 --> 00:09:17,155
Uh, nothing.

187
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:21,551
He's got a mild concussion.

188
00:09:21,627 --> 00:09:24,289
l'm going to have to treat
the others first.

189
00:09:24,363 --> 00:09:26,297
l need Lieutenant Marseilles
on the Bridge.

190
00:09:26,365 --> 00:09:27,389
You'll treat him now.

191
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:28,592
As l understand it,

192
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:30,829
my job is to treat the
critical patients first.

193
00:09:31,003 --> 00:09:32,436
So, if you'll excuse me...

194
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:35,269
l don't know who you think
you are, Hologram,

195
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:38,606
but to me, you're just
another piece of technology.

196
00:09:38,678 --> 00:09:40,805
Well, apparently,
l'm a piece of technology

197
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,972
that's in demand,

198
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:43,174
so why don't you go
back to the Bridge

199
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:45,683
and let me do my job?

200
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:47,685
What's going on here?

201
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:50,278
Our medical hologram is refusing
to treat Mr. Marseilles.

202
00:09:52,158 --> 00:09:53,420
Are you malfunctioning?

203
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:54,481
l don't think so.

204
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,585
l need my helmsman
back at his station.

205
00:09:56,662 --> 00:09:59,290
Lieutenant Marseilles
isn't seriously hurt.

206
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:01,333
This man will be dead
in five minutes

207
00:10:01,434 --> 00:10:02,423
if l don't operate.

208
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:04,969
Drop the force field.

209
00:10:17,216 --> 00:10:18,843
That patient is dead.

210
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:21,853
Now you're free to treat
Lieutenant Marseilles.

211
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:31,661
Then the Captain
pulls out a phaser

212
00:10:31,731 --> 00:10:34,666
and shoots him--
right there on the bio-bed.

213
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:36,759
Captain Janeway
murders a crewman?

214
00:10:36,869 --> 00:10:38,427
No, Captain Jenkins.

215
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:39,469
Everybody has a different name.

216
00:10:39,538 --> 00:10:41,904
You're Kymble, you're Torrey,

217
00:10:41,974 --> 00:10:44,306
and l am
Lieutenant Marseilles.

218
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:46,402
Oh, now, that's creative.

219
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:47,810
What did you say to the Doctor?

220
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,711
Well, he thinks
he's written a masterpiece.

221
00:10:49,782 --> 00:10:51,113
l didn't know
what to tell him.

222
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:52,582
lf this gets distributed,

223
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:55,246
people are going to assume
this is about us.

224
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:57,653
What are our families
going to think?

225
00:10:57,723 --> 00:10:58,747
This is a Starfleet ship.

226
00:10:58,824 --> 00:10:59,813
No one will believe

227
00:10:59,892 --> 00:11:01,826
we actually go around
shooting injured crewmen.

228
00:11:01,927 --> 00:11:04,919
People may not take
the program literally,

229
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:08,694
but they might wonder
if there's some truth to it.

230
00:11:08,801 --> 00:11:10,996
l think we should talk
to the Captain.

231
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:13,128
Are you sure
you're not taking this

232
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:14,433
a little personally?

233
00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:15,939
What do you mean?

234
00:11:16,075 --> 00:11:18,509
Well, the Holodeck
always has been your domain.

235
00:11:18,577 --> 00:11:22,809
You, you think l'm jealous?

236
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:25,677
Okay, maybe l am overreacting.

237
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:28,049
Why don't the rest of you
try the program

238
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,553
and decide for yourselves?

239
00:11:33,392 --> 00:11:34,654
Chapter Five:

240
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:36,957
''Out of the Frying Pan,''
in which our protagonist

241
00:11:37,096 --> 00:11:38,586
must confront
abusive colleagues.

242
00:11:38,664 --> 00:11:41,497
l'm here for my physical.

243
00:11:41,567 --> 00:11:45,594
Why don't you have a seat
over here?

244
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,469
Doctor, you better
get down to Engineering.

245
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:50,873
What's wrong?

246
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:53,104
A plasma conduit just exploded.

247
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:55,238
At least ten people are hurt.

248
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:00,914
Hey, genius.

249
00:12:00,986 --> 00:12:03,682
Forgetting something?

250
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:05,883
Your mobile emitter?

251
00:12:05,991 --> 00:12:08,084
Oh, right.

252
00:12:10,162 --> 00:12:11,789
l don't see it.

253
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,900
That's my mobile emitter?

254
00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:25,506
This thing must weigh 50 kilos.

255
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:26,545
You should be glad

256
00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:27,942
we let you out
of your cage at all.

257
00:12:28,013 --> 00:12:29,947
Now, get going.

258
00:12:36,989 --> 00:12:37,956
l'm impressed.

259
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:39,182
Really?

260
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:40,418
Absolutely.

261
00:12:40,493 --> 00:12:42,461
l haven't seen
a dilithium matrix

262
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:43,961
this far out of alignment

263
00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:46,860
since l served
aboard a Ferengi garbage scow.

264
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:48,832
l'll fix it myself.

265
00:12:48,934 --> 00:12:50,458
Excuse me.

266
00:12:50,569 --> 00:12:53,504
How many times have l told you?

267
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:55,540
Engineering is off-limits
to holograms.

268
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:57,872
Maybe you should waive
that restriction

269
00:12:57,943 --> 00:12:59,103
during emergencies.

270
00:13:00,479 --> 00:13:02,674
A plasma conduit exploded?

271
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:05,807
Does it look like anyone here
is covered with plasma burns?

272
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:07,614
Lieutenant Par...
uh, Marseilles

273
00:13:07,686 --> 00:13:09,449
told me there was an accident.

274
00:13:09,522 --> 00:13:11,649
Looks like
your auditory subroutines

275
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,351
are malfunctioning...
again.

276
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:15,359
l'm surprised a matrix
as primitive as yours

277
00:13:15,427 --> 00:13:16,826
can function at all.

278
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:19,091
Maybe you should be a little
nicer to your shipmates.

279
00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:21,133
You never know
when you might need their help.

280
00:13:22,501 --> 00:13:23,365
Get one thing straight.

281
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:24,731
You're not one of my shipmates.

282
00:13:24,837 --> 00:13:25,769
You're a tool--

283
00:13:25,838 --> 00:13:27,169
like this hyperspanner--

284
00:13:27,239 --> 00:13:28,297
and tools can be replaced.

285
00:13:28,407 --> 00:13:29,897
So, why don't you go back
to Sick Bay

286
00:13:30,009 --> 00:13:32,705
before l start doing
a little reprogramming?

287
00:13:40,152 --> 00:13:41,813
Computer, lights.

288
00:13:44,790 --> 00:13:46,883
Didn't l tell you
to go to Engineering?

289
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:48,654
Oh, l get it.

290
00:13:48,727 --> 00:13:50,888
lnteresting plot twist.

291
00:13:50,963 --> 00:13:52,157
You get me out of Sick Bay,

292
00:13:52,231 --> 00:13:54,927
so you're free to give
my patient a tonsillectomy.

293
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:57,662
lf you even think about
mentioning this to my wife,

294
00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:59,465
l will purge your memory buffer.

295
00:13:59,572 --> 00:14:01,039
Do we understand each other?

296
00:14:02,741 --> 00:14:04,709
l'm here for my physical?

297
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:11,007
Chapter Six:
''Duel in the Ready Room,''

298
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:13,745
in which our protagonist
faces an inquisition.

299
00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:16,652
This time, you've gone too far.

300
00:14:16,722 --> 00:14:20,123
Captain, l'm not sure
what you mean.

301
00:14:21,961 --> 00:14:25,328
An inventory
of your holo-matrix.

302
00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:29,527
50 gigaquads of memory
devoted to music,

303
00:14:29,635 --> 00:14:31,603
42 for ''daydreams,''

304
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:35,538
another ten
to expand your sexuality.

305
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:38,668
l had no idea
holograms could do that.

306
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:40,473
These extracurricular

307
00:14:40,546 --> 00:14:42,480
subroutines don't belong

308
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:45,813
as part of
an Emergency Medical Hologram.

309
00:14:45,885 --> 00:14:49,184
Do you have anything
to say for yourself?

310
00:14:49,255 --> 00:14:50,847
Uh, well, uh, of course l do.

311
00:14:50,923 --> 00:14:55,053
l don't think these subroutines
are trivial, Captain.

312
00:14:55,127 --> 00:14:57,618
They help make me
a better doctor

313
00:14:57,696 --> 00:14:59,254
and a better person.

314
00:14:59,331 --> 00:15:01,060
But you're not a person.

315
00:15:01,166 --> 00:15:03,464
You may be programmed
to look and act human,

316
00:15:03,535 --> 00:15:05,127
but that doesn't make you one.

317
00:15:05,237 --> 00:15:08,206
These subroutines are going
to be deleted immediately.

318
00:15:08,274 --> 00:15:09,798
Mr. Tulak.

319
00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:15,202
Take the EMH

320
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:17,408
to the Holo-Lab
for reprogramming.

321
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:25,514
Chapter Seven: ''The Escape,''

322
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:28,492
in which our protagonist
is aided by his only ally.

323
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,154
l'm not sure we should
be doing this, Commander.

324
00:15:31,230 --> 00:15:32,857
Listen to him; he knows
what he's talking about.

325
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:35,492
Quiet! l'm not talking to you.

326
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,569
lf we start tinkering
with his matrix,

327
00:15:37,636 --> 00:15:39,570
how do we know we won't
accidentally delete

328
00:15:39,638 --> 00:15:41,162
some of his diagnostic
subroutines?

329
00:15:42,474 --> 00:15:43,941
You afraid
you'll catch something

330
00:15:44,009 --> 00:15:45,499
on your next away mission,
Ensign?

331
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:48,205
There must be millions
of viruses in this Quadrant

332
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,214
that no one's
ever encountered before.

333
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:51,943
With my luck,
l'll probably end up

334
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:53,244
catching half of them.

335
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:55,810
Great, my character's
a hypochondriac.

336
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,186
l'll escort the prisoner
from here.

337
00:15:58,257 --> 00:16:00,953
Our orders are to take
him to the Holo-Lab.

338
00:16:01,026 --> 00:16:03,620
l've been ordered
to perform the procedure.

339
00:16:03,696 --> 00:16:08,360
Your sympathies for the EMH
are no secret, Three of Eight.

340
00:16:11,103 --> 00:16:13,765
Step aside.

341
00:16:28,787 --> 00:16:29,845
Run, Doctor!

342
00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:40,626
Chapter Eight: ''A Tragic End,''

343
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:43,167
in which our protagonist
learns his fate.

344
00:16:43,235 --> 00:16:45,465
l've tried to do
this the easy way,

345
00:16:45,571 --> 00:16:48,199
but it's clear you're not
going to be reasonable.

346
00:16:48,307 --> 00:16:50,935
Your matrix will be decompiled
and reinitialized.

347
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:54,275
You'll remain off-line
except for emergencies.

348
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:55,745
Ready.

349
00:16:55,814 --> 00:16:57,042
Do it.

350
00:16:57,116 --> 00:16:58,515
Wait.

351
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:02,653
He has the right
to expand his program.

352
00:17:02,721 --> 00:17:05,554
He's a piece of technology.

353
00:17:05,624 --> 00:17:06,921
He has no rights.

354
00:17:06,992 --> 00:17:08,391
But he should.

355
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:10,928
One day, the EMH
and others like him

356
00:17:10,996 --> 00:17:13,226
will be recognized
for what they are--

357
00:17:13,298 --> 00:17:16,199
intelligent individuals
with a passion for life.

358
00:17:16,301 --> 00:17:17,825
Make no mistake, Captain--

359
00:17:17,936 --> 00:17:20,632
we may be thousands
of light-years from home,

360
00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:22,639
but one day, people will learn

361
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:25,336
of the crime
you're committing here today.

362
00:17:25,411 --> 00:17:27,276
Nice speech.

363
00:17:27,346 --> 00:17:30,543
Now decompile the program.

364
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:41,855
What you've experienced,
dear protagonist,

365
00:17:41,927 --> 00:17:43,588
is a work of fiction.

366
00:17:43,662 --> 00:17:47,428
But like all fiction,
it has elements of truth.

367
00:17:47,499 --> 00:17:49,592
l hope you now have
a better understanding

368
00:17:49,701 --> 00:17:52,636
of the struggles
holograms must endure

369
00:17:52,704 --> 00:17:54,899
in a world controlled...

370
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,008
by organics.

371
00:17:58,010 --> 00:18:01,138
End of program.

372
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:03,545
Janeway to the Doctor.

373
00:18:03,615 --> 00:18:06,675
Report to my ready room now.

374
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:13,086
How many times
do you want me to say it?

375
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:15,524
My work is not
about the Voyager crew.

376
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:16,526
Come on.

377
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:18,358
Ensign Kymble,
Lieutenant Marseilles...

378
00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:21,263
The characters look
almost exactly like us.

379
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:23,824
l used your physical parameters
as a starting point,

380
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,233
but l assure you

381
00:18:25,337 --> 00:18:27,601
any further similarities
are purely coincidental.

382
00:18:27,673 --> 00:18:29,470
You set your story

383
00:18:29,541 --> 00:18:31,600
on a starship lost
in the Delta Quadrant.

384
00:18:31,677 --> 00:18:33,144
What would you have me
write about?

385
00:18:33,245 --> 00:18:35,076
Palace intrigue
on the Klingon Homeworld?

386
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:37,672
l do what all good novelists do.

387
00:18:37,749 --> 00:18:39,239
l write what l know.

388
00:18:39,318 --> 00:18:41,411
So, it is about Voyager?.

389
00:18:41,487 --> 00:18:42,613
No.

390
00:18:42,688 --> 00:18:44,519
The Vortex characters
are larger than life.

391
00:18:44,590 --> 00:18:46,182
They're nothing like our crew.

392
00:18:46,258 --> 00:18:47,850
As far as l know, Captain,

393
00:18:47,926 --> 00:18:50,451
you haven't executed
any of my patients.

394
00:18:50,529 --> 00:18:54,465
Doctor, you've written
a very imaginative story,

395
00:18:54,533 --> 00:18:55,500
but it's conceivable

396
00:18:55,601 --> 00:18:57,694
that people will think
it's based on fact.

397
00:18:57,803 --> 00:18:59,532
l don't see how.

398
00:18:59,638 --> 00:19:01,435
How many holograms
carry mobile emitters?

399
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:04,668
The emitter in my story
is nothing like the real one.

400
00:19:04,710 --> 00:19:05,938
Yeah, what was
the point of that?

401
00:19:06,011 --> 00:19:07,945
lt was like carrying around
a small shuttlecraft.

402
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:09,446
lt's a metaphor,

403
00:19:09,515 --> 00:19:12,416
a symbol of the burdens
that l live with every day.

404
00:19:12,484 --> 00:19:14,679
lmagine having to take
this everywhere you go.

405
00:19:14,753 --> 00:19:17,347
lt would be a constant
reminder that you're

406
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:18,821
different from everyone else.

407
00:19:18,957 --> 00:19:22,154
l wanted the player
to feel the weight of it...

408
00:19:22,227 --> 00:19:23,285
literally.

409
00:19:23,362 --> 00:19:26,024
Your emitter isn't
a ball and chain.

410
00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:27,030
lt liberates you.

411
00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:30,364
lt doesn't always feel that way.

412
00:19:30,469 --> 00:19:32,300
lf l didn't know better,
l'd think this story

413
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:34,668
was written by someone
who feels oppressed.

414
00:19:34,740 --> 00:19:36,298
ls that how
you see yourself, Doctor?

415
00:19:36,408 --> 00:19:38,569
Of course not.

416
00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:41,078
The real victims are my brothers
in the Alpha Quadrant.

417
00:19:42,481 --> 00:19:43,573
Brothers?

418
00:19:43,649 --> 00:19:45,742
Hundreds of EMH Mark-1's,

419
00:19:45,817 --> 00:19:49,048
identical to me
in every respect, except...

420
00:19:49,121 --> 00:19:52,056
they've been condemned
to a menial existence--

421
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:54,149
scrubbing conduits,

422
00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:56,387
mining dilithium.

423
00:19:56,461 --> 00:19:57,792
There's a long history

424
00:19:57,863 --> 00:20:00,559
of writers drawing attention
to the plight of the oppressed.

425
00:20:00,632 --> 00:20:02,190
The Vedek's Song, for example

426
00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:04,269
tells the story
of the occupation of Bajor.

427
00:20:04,336 --> 00:20:06,304
l understand
you have your reasons

428
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:09,169
for writing this,
but you should consider

429
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:11,141
how it's going to make
your friends feel.

430
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:19,679
l'm sorry my work offends you,

431
00:20:19,751 --> 00:20:22,276
but if the price
of expressing myself

432
00:20:22,354 --> 00:20:25,289
is having to suffer the scorn
of a few colleagues...

433
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:26,324
so be it.

434
00:20:30,729 --> 00:20:32,458
You're very popular
with my eighth graders.

435
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:33,793
lt's all they ever talk about.

436
00:20:33,865 --> 00:20:37,323
Voyager this, Voyager that.

437
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,302
Your mother has a small
favor to ask of you.

438
00:20:39,371 --> 00:20:40,599
Name it.

439
00:20:40,706 --> 00:20:43,607
l was hoping you could
record a short presentation

440
00:20:43,675 --> 00:20:45,540
about what it's like
to command a starship.

441
00:20:45,611 --> 00:20:48,478
But... l don't command
a starship.

442
00:20:48,547 --> 00:20:49,809
ln your letters,

443
00:20:49,881 --> 00:20:51,872
you said the Captain
puts you in charge sometimes.

444
00:20:53,952 --> 00:20:55,476
What l said was

445
00:20:55,554 --> 00:20:58,022
l'm in command
of the night shift...

446
00:20:58,090 --> 00:20:59,489
twice a week.

447
00:20:59,558 --> 00:21:01,082
She must think
very highly of you

448
00:21:01,193 --> 00:21:03,252
to give you so much
responsibility.

449
00:21:03,295 --> 00:21:04,990
So, when is she
giving you a promotion?

450
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,092
Uh...

451
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:10,862
lt's a small ship.

452
00:21:10,969 --> 00:21:13,995
There are only so many
command positions available.

453
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:17,405
This Captain Janeway
sounds like a lovely woman.

454
00:21:17,476 --> 00:21:18,443
Maybe l should write her.

455
00:21:18,543 --> 00:21:19,805
Mom!

456
00:21:19,878 --> 00:21:21,937
She needs to know
how hard you work.

457
00:21:22,047 --> 00:21:23,173
Please, don't get involved.

458
00:21:23,248 --> 00:21:25,182
Harry, l can't hear you.

459
00:21:25,250 --> 00:21:27,946
A solar flare is
scattering the beam.

460
00:21:28,053 --> 00:21:31,648
Tell Captain Janeway
to expect a letter from me.

461
00:21:31,723 --> 00:21:32,951
Mom, don't send

462
00:21:33,091 --> 00:21:35,252
anything to the Captain.
Do you hear me?

463
00:21:35,327 --> 00:21:36,692
Try boosting
the deflector output.

464
00:21:36,762 --> 00:21:37,956
lt's already at maximum.

465
00:21:40,198 --> 00:21:41,688
Argh! l don't believe this!

466
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:43,735
l had a minute and a half left.

467
00:21:43,802 --> 00:21:46,202
You'll have another opportunity
to speak with them

468
00:21:46,271 --> 00:21:47,465
in approximately two months.

469
00:21:47,572 --> 00:21:49,631
You just don't get it, do you?

470
00:21:49,741 --> 00:21:51,709
No.

471
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:53,870
Maybe if you had family
you were close to,

472
00:21:53,945 --> 00:21:55,435
you'd feel a little differently.

473
00:21:59,017 --> 00:22:04,614
Chief Medical Officer's
Personal Log, Stardate 547 40.8.

474
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:08,159
Although the decision has made
me unpopular with the crew,

475
00:22:08,193 --> 00:22:10,093
l've decided not
to compromise my work.

476
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:12,426
l'm making some final revisions
to the program

477
00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:14,294
before transmitting it.

478
00:22:15,701 --> 00:22:20,229
Computer, run EMH program
Photons Be Free.

479
00:22:25,210 --> 00:22:28,646
Welcome. You've made
an excellent choice.

480
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:31,512
You're obviously a person
with impeccable taste.

481
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:32,948
Computer, freeze program.

482
00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:34,347
Unable to comply.

483
00:22:34,419 --> 00:22:38,822
You are about to embark
on a remarkable journey.

484
00:22:38,890 --> 00:22:41,620
You will take on the role
of a Medical Assistant

485
00:22:41,693 --> 00:22:43,684
aboard the Starship Voyeur.

486
00:22:43,762 --> 00:22:45,286
Voyeur?.

487
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,696
Your job will be to assist
the Chief Medical Officer

488
00:22:47,766 --> 00:22:50,633
and learn to tolerate
his overbearing behavior

489
00:22:50,736 --> 00:22:52,431
and obnoxious bedside manner.

490
00:22:55,307 --> 00:22:58,242
Remember, patience is a virtue.

491
00:22:59,578 --> 00:23:00,875
Chapter One:

492
00:23:00,979 --> 00:23:03,914
''lt's the Doctor's World,
You're Just Living ln lt.''

493
00:23:03,949 --> 00:23:07,385
When l tell you
your shift begins at 0800,

494
00:23:07,452 --> 00:23:09,386
that doesn't mean

495
00:23:09,454 --> 00:23:12,218
you can stroll in here
at 0800 and 24 seconds.

496
00:23:12,290 --> 00:23:13,587
Do you understand me, Ensign?!

497
00:23:13,658 --> 00:23:15,717
This is outrageous!

498
00:23:15,794 --> 00:23:16,886
What's outrageous

499
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:19,362
is that l'm going
to miss my tee time.

500
00:23:19,431 --> 00:23:21,797
Now, come along.

501
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:25,359
Aw...

502
00:23:25,470 --> 00:23:27,938
What seems to be the
trouble, One of Three?

503
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:29,904
l'm Two of Three.

504
00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:30,942
Sorry.

505
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,738
They're triplets, you know?

506
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:36,508
-lt hurts when l do this.
-Well, then, don't do it.

507
00:23:38,483 --> 00:23:39,541
Ow!

508
00:23:39,618 --> 00:23:40,676
Ah, don't be a baby.

509
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:46,050
Eh, your biradial clamp's
out of alignment.

510
00:23:46,124 --> 00:23:48,183
l got just the thing.

511
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:50,854
lt's a Klingon aphrodisiac--

512
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:53,261
my own special blend.

513
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:57,691
You'll be feeling better

514
00:23:57,803 --> 00:24:00,465
-Mmm.
-in no time at all.

515
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:09,774
Lieutenant!

516
00:24:09,848 --> 00:24:10,780
l want you to know

517
00:24:10,849 --> 00:24:12,612
l'm making a full
report to the Captain.

518
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:14,379
This isn't about
that dermal regenerator

519
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:15,385
l misplaced, is it?

520
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:17,115
You know very well
what this is about.

521
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:19,054
You accessed my holonovel
without permission

522
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:21,456
and replaced it with
your own hackneyed narrative.

523
00:24:21,526 --> 00:24:23,619
Hey, l'm just writing
what l know.

524
00:24:23,695 --> 00:24:26,289
You destroyed a work of art
that took months to create.

525
00:24:26,364 --> 00:24:27,888
Relax, Doc.

526
00:24:27,966 --> 00:24:30,560
l saved your program
in a backup file,

527
00:24:30,669 --> 00:24:33,035
but l was just trying
to make a point.

528
00:24:33,104 --> 00:24:35,538
Well, you made it
with a typical lack of subtlety.

529
00:24:35,607 --> 00:24:37,074
Oh, you're one to talk!

530
00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:40,737
Your program's about as subtle
as a Ferengi mating dance.

531
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:43,542
My program is a serious attempt
at social commentary.

532
00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:45,708
Yours is an insulting farce!
You...

533
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:47,911
...had me drugging a patient

534
00:24:47,986 --> 00:24:49,317
and taking advantage of her.

535
00:24:49,387 --> 00:24:51,218
Don't be ridiculous.

536
00:24:51,289 --> 00:24:52,347
That character is not you.

537
00:24:52,424 --> 00:24:55,621
For one thing,
he has much more hair.

538
00:24:55,694 --> 00:24:58,322
But what if some people
ran that program

539
00:24:58,396 --> 00:24:59,920
and thought
that it was based on you?

540
00:24:59,998 --> 00:25:01,397
That would bother you,
wouldn't it?

541
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,797
l don't care what people think.

542
00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:04,836
That's all you care about!

543
00:25:04,936 --> 00:25:06,403
You want everyone back home

544
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:08,336
to think of you
as a brilliant author.

545
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:09,703
l'm not doing this for my ego,

546
00:25:09,774 --> 00:25:11,173
and if you could
look past yours,

547
00:25:11,243 --> 00:25:12,574
maybe you'd see that!

548
00:25:16,381 --> 00:25:21,216
Listen... l don't care
if the whole Alpha Quadrant

549
00:25:21,286 --> 00:25:23,447
mistakes me
for Lieutenant Marseilles.

550
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:25,080
What bothers me

551
00:25:25,156 --> 00:25:27,181
is that you think
that's what l'm like.

552
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:29,022
Obviously, you're
nothing like Marseilles.

553
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:31,187
He's self-indulgent, immature.

554
00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:33,390
And how would you describe me?

555
00:25:33,465 --> 00:25:36,628
Well, you're a married man

556
00:25:36,735 --> 00:25:38,703
with a child on the way.

557
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:40,362
A lot of responsibilities.

558
00:25:40,472 --> 00:25:44,340
l'm surprised you noticed.

559
00:25:44,409 --> 00:25:47,742
You know, l thought
l'd begun to earn your respect.

560
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:49,040
Maybe l was wrong.

561
00:25:51,249 --> 00:25:53,877
Your program is under file
Theta-15.

562
00:25:53,952 --> 00:25:55,920
Do whatever you want with it.

563
00:26:05,096 --> 00:26:07,326
Doctor, l need your help.

564
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:10,800
Unless you're suffering
acute symptoms, go away.

565
00:26:10,902 --> 00:26:12,802
Um, l was wondering

566
00:26:12,871 --> 00:26:15,704
if you could take
a quick look at this.

567
00:26:15,774 --> 00:26:17,469
Cooking with Neelix:

568
00:26:17,542 --> 00:26:20,067
A Culinary Tour
of the Delta Quadrant.

569
00:26:20,145 --> 00:26:21,510
lt's a holo-cookbook proposal.

570
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,548
l was hoping to transmit
it to your publisher

571
00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:25,515
during my com-link
this afternoon--

572
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,643
with your approval, of course.

573
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:29,084
lf you're looking
for writing tips,

574
00:26:29,154 --> 00:26:30,746
there are plenty
of people on this ship

575
00:26:30,822 --> 00:26:32,050
eager to offer them.

576
00:26:32,123 --> 00:26:35,752
l don't know what anyone else
may have told you,

577
00:26:35,827 --> 00:26:37,226
but l loved your holonovel.

578
00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:38,227
You did?

579
00:26:38,296 --> 00:26:39,285
Absolutely.

580
00:26:39,364 --> 00:26:41,025
lt was a rousing adventure

581
00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:43,158
with an important message, too.

582
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:44,701
Exactly.

583
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:46,737
This is my first chance
to be appreciated,

584
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:48,830
not just as a physician,
but as an artist.

585
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:50,669
l thought the crew
would be happy for me.

586
00:26:50,742 --> 00:26:52,403
You're going to reach
a wide audience.

587
00:26:52,477 --> 00:26:53,910
What do you care
about the opinions

588
00:26:53,979 --> 00:26:55,640
of a few disgruntled shipmates?

589
00:26:55,714 --> 00:26:58,046
They're my friends.

590
00:26:58,116 --> 00:26:59,811
l don't want to hurt them.

591
00:26:59,884 --> 00:27:03,684
There's an old
Talaxian expression:

592
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:07,053
''When the road before you
splits in two,

593
00:27:07,092 --> 00:27:08,889
take the third path.''

594
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:11,921
Meaning?

595
00:27:11,997 --> 00:27:16,127
You could make some adjustments
to the program, so it won't be

596
00:27:16,234 --> 00:27:20,170
so obvious
it's based on Voyager.

597
00:27:20,271 --> 00:27:22,705
l suppose l could
change the setting,

598
00:27:22,774 --> 00:27:24,833
alter the characters'
physical parameters.

599
00:27:25,010 --> 00:27:26,500
You wouldn't have
to change your theme.

600
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:29,808
No.

601
00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:31,746
But a rewrite could take weeks.

602
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:34,376
My publisher is expecting
a final draft tomorrow.

603
00:27:34,452 --> 00:27:37,319
Maybe you should
give him a call.

604
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:43,993
Revisions?

605
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:45,689
l need to rework the characters.

606
00:27:45,764 --> 00:27:46,696
Why?

607
00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:48,164
They're so believable.

608
00:27:49,267 --> 00:27:51,827
A little too believable,
apparently.

609
00:27:51,936 --> 00:27:54,404
Doctor, l-l really don't think
this is necessary.

610
00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:57,236
l'm afraid l have to insist.

611
00:27:57,308 --> 00:28:01,301
My friends' reputations
are at stake.

612
00:28:01,379 --> 00:28:04,075
My publisher assures me
he won't distribute the program

613
00:28:04,149 --> 00:28:06,640
until he receives
the revised version.

614
00:28:06,718 --> 00:28:08,811
That must be the one where we
assimilate the Borg

615
00:28:08,887 --> 00:28:10,582
and take over the Quadrant.

616
00:28:10,655 --> 00:28:12,816
We're all grateful

617
00:28:12,891 --> 00:28:15,086
that you're taking
our feelings into account.

618
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,594
So, how long do you expect
the revisions will take?

619
00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:20,028
Art can't be rushed.

620
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:22,566
Take your time, Doctor.

621
00:28:25,336 --> 00:28:27,270
-Lieutenant?
-Hmm?

622
00:28:27,338 --> 00:28:28,532
l'm sorry.

623
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,164
Oh. Forget about it.

624
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:32,243
l could use your help
with the rewrites.

625
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:33,571
Really?!

626
00:28:33,645 --> 00:28:37,240
Well, you realize, as a writer,
l'm a little unsophisticated.

627
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:38,873
No, l believe the phrase
you're looking for

628
00:28:38,983 --> 00:28:40,780
is lowbrow.

629
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:47,187
Hey.

630
00:28:47,258 --> 00:28:49,818
What's that?

631
00:28:49,894 --> 00:28:52,590
lt's from my father.

632
00:28:52,664 --> 00:28:54,996
He wants to talk.

633
00:28:55,066 --> 00:28:57,466
What are you gonna do?

634
00:28:57,569 --> 00:28:59,935
Well, l've already arranged
to talk with my cousin.

635
00:29:00,004 --> 00:29:03,633
Well, l'm sure she wouldn't
mind waiting a few weeks.

636
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:05,972
l wouldn't know
what to say to him.

637
00:29:06,044 --> 00:29:07,841
Then let him do the talking.

638
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:12,609
Look at you.

639
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:15,244
You must be,
what, 20 weeks along?

640
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,311
23, actually.

641
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:20,118
Have you decided on a name?

642
00:29:20,191 --> 00:29:22,386
Not yet.

643
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:25,156
We were thinking about Miral.

644
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:27,824
Your mother would've liked that.

645
00:29:27,932 --> 00:29:32,665
You know, l had some business
on Kessik lV a few months ago.

646
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,706
You wouldn't believe
what our old house looks like.

647
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:38,038
Lieutenant... 30 seconds.

648
00:29:39,911 --> 00:29:41,378
We have less than a minute.

649
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,710
ls there a reason
you wanted to talk?

650
00:29:45,784 --> 00:29:48,981
l know l can't make up for
20 years in one conversation.

651
00:29:50,355 --> 00:29:53,290
The truth is...

652
00:29:53,358 --> 00:29:57,419
when your ship disappeared,
l thought l'd lost you.

653
00:29:57,495 --> 00:30:00,055
l don't expect you
to forgive me,

654
00:30:00,131 --> 00:30:02,691
but maybe we could try

655
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:04,166
to get to know each other again.

656
00:30:07,605 --> 00:30:08,902
l'll write you.

657
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:34,294
l'm sorry to disturb you,
Admiral.

658
00:30:34,365 --> 00:30:36,196
Uh, yes, Mr. Barclay.
What can l do for you?

659
00:30:36,301 --> 00:30:38,633
l thought you'd want
to see this, sir.

660
00:30:38,736 --> 00:30:40,567
Well, what is it?

661
00:30:40,638 --> 00:30:44,438
lt's, um, a holonovel
that's becoming quite popular.

662
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:46,340
Well, l appreciate
the gesture, Lieutenant,

663
00:30:46,411 --> 00:30:49,972
but l don't share your affinity
for holographic diversions.

664
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:51,106
You don't understand, sir.

665
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:53,343
This program...
it's about Voyager,

666
00:30:53,418 --> 00:30:57,445
and it doesn't portray the crew
in a very flattering light.

667
00:30:57,522 --> 00:31:00,218
Hmm.

668
00:31:00,291 --> 00:31:01,519
On screen.

669
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:02,617
Captain.

670
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:05,322
Seven told me
your message was urgent.

671
00:31:05,396 --> 00:31:08,365
l had the dubious privilege
of playing a new holonovel,

672
00:31:08,433 --> 00:31:10,594
apparently written by your EMH.

673
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:13,330
l'm surprised that you
would allow the Doctor

674
00:31:13,438 --> 00:31:15,065
to discredit
your crew like this.

675
00:31:15,173 --> 00:31:17,266
He's still making revisions.

676
00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:20,037
The program shouldn't
have been distributed yet.

677
00:31:20,111 --> 00:31:21,305
Well, it has been.

678
00:31:21,379 --> 00:31:23,279
Mr. Barclay tells me
it's already being played

679
00:31:23,348 --> 00:31:25,441
in thousands of holosuites.

680
00:31:31,856 --> 00:31:34,450
You assured me you were going
to wait for my revisions.

681
00:31:34,525 --> 00:31:36,755
l demand that you recall
every copy

682
00:31:36,828 --> 00:31:39,763
and issue a public apology
to Captain Janeway and her crew.

683
00:31:39,831 --> 00:31:42,391
l won't do anything of the sort.

684
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:44,935
l don't see that you
have a choice, Mr. Broht.

685
00:31:45,003 --> 00:31:45,970
Authors have rights.

686
00:31:46,037 --> 00:31:48,471
Not in this case.

687
00:31:48,539 --> 00:31:49,972
What do you mean?

688
00:31:50,041 --> 00:31:52,669
The Doctor is a hologram.

689
00:31:52,744 --> 00:31:54,177
So?

690
00:31:54,245 --> 00:31:59,308
According to Federation law,
holograms have no rights.

691
00:32:07,392 --> 00:32:10,225
Under a strict interpretation
of Federation law,

692
00:32:10,295 --> 00:32:11,557
Mr. Broht is correct.

693
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:13,062
The Doctor has no legal rights.

694
00:32:13,131 --> 00:32:14,996
Because l'm a hologram.

695
00:32:15,066 --> 00:32:16,499
Yes.

696
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:18,068
There is another option.

697
00:32:18,169 --> 00:32:19,602
We may be able to claim

698
00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:22,606
that the holonovel
reveals classified information.

699
00:32:22,674 --> 00:32:24,107
Starfleet could then request

700
00:32:24,175 --> 00:32:26,336
that it be recalled
for security purposes.

701
00:32:26,411 --> 00:32:27,742
Oh, great idea-- a cover-up,

702
00:32:27,812 --> 00:32:29,211
and then everyone
will be convinced

703
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,474
that it's a true story.

704
00:32:30,548 --> 00:32:32,482
Could we claim defamation?

705
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:34,950
Well, we'd have to prove
that the story's about us

706
00:32:35,086 --> 00:32:36,951
and that we've been
harmed by it.

707
00:32:37,021 --> 00:32:40,957
We might win on those grounds,
but what about the Doctor?

708
00:32:41,059 --> 00:32:42,526
What about me, Captain?

709
00:32:42,593 --> 00:32:44,959
lt's the crew's reputations
that are at risk.

710
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:46,927
l'm not so sure.

711
00:32:46,998 --> 00:32:49,967
l think it's your reputation
that's on the line here.

712
00:32:50,101 --> 00:32:51,159
You have the same rights

713
00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:53,737
as every other member
of this crew,

714
00:32:53,805 --> 00:32:57,172
and l'm not going to let
this publisher say otherwise.

715
00:33:01,446 --> 00:33:05,212
Captain's Log, Stardate 547 48.6.

716
00:33:05,283 --> 00:33:08,116
A Federation Arbitrator
has been assigned to determine

717
00:33:08,186 --> 00:33:09,448
whether the Doctor has the right

718
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,886
to control
his artistic creation.

719
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:14,049
Because of our limited com time
with Earth,

720
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:17,151
the argument should take
about three days.

721
00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:19,492
You claim the Doctor
doesn't have the legal right

722
00:33:19,564 --> 00:33:21,225
to control this holoprogram.

723
00:33:21,299 --> 00:33:24,393
Yet you're promoting the fact
that Voyager's EMH wrote it.

724
00:33:24,502 --> 00:33:26,663
Our most successful
children's title

725
00:33:26,771 --> 00:33:30,172
is a program ''written
by'' Toby the targ.

726
00:33:30,241 --> 00:33:32,539
Fortunately, Toby
hasn't tried to stop me

727
00:33:32,610 --> 00:33:35,340
from distributing
any of his work.

728
00:33:35,413 --> 00:33:36,744
But you don't deny
that the Doctor

729
00:33:36,814 --> 00:33:38,179
is the creator
of this holonovel?

730
00:33:38,249 --> 00:33:42,583
No, but, uh, a replicator
created this cup of coffee.

731
00:33:42,653 --> 00:33:45,679
Should that replicator
be able to determine

732
00:33:45,757 --> 00:33:47,452
whether or not l can drink it?

733
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:48,890
-l object!
-Doctor...

734
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,224
An intriguing analogy,
Mr. Broht,

735
00:33:51,295 --> 00:33:54,128
but l have never encountered
a replicator

736
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:57,964
that could compose music,
or paint landscapes,

737
00:33:58,136 --> 00:33:59,865
or perform microsurgery.

738
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:01,097
Have you?

739
00:34:01,205 --> 00:34:02,832
Would you say
that you have a reputation

740
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:06,876
for publishing respected,
original works of literature?

741
00:34:07,011 --> 00:34:08,672
l'd like to think so.

742
00:34:08,746 --> 00:34:11,044
And is the Doctor's holonovel
such a work?

743
00:34:11,115 --> 00:34:15,017
Actually, some aspects of it
are quite derivative.

744
00:34:15,086 --> 00:34:17,486
Has there even been
another work written

745
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:19,546
about a hologram's
struggle for equality?

746
00:34:19,624 --> 00:34:22,684
Uh, not that l know of,
but, uh...

747
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,625
Then, in that respect,
it is original.

748
00:34:24,695 --> 00:34:28,631
l suppose so.

749
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:32,601
Your Honor, Section 7-Gamma
of the Twelfth Guarantee

750
00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:33,864
defines an artist

751
00:34:33,971 --> 00:34:36,337
as a ''person who creates
an original artistic work.''

752
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:40,104
Mr. Broht admits that the Doctor
created this program

753
00:34:40,178 --> 00:34:41,611
and that it is original.

754
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:43,237
l therefore submit

755
00:34:43,314 --> 00:34:44,838
that the Doctor
should be entitled

756
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:45,940
to all rights and privileges

757
00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:48,541
accorded an artist
under the law.

758
00:34:52,356 --> 00:34:54,153
You've made a persuasive
argument, Commander,

759
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:56,159
but there's a flaw
in your logic.

760
00:34:56,227 --> 00:34:59,162
As you point out, the law says

761
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:01,630
that the creator of an artistic
work must be a ''person.''

762
00:35:01,732 --> 00:35:05,327
Your EMH doesn't meet
that criteria.

763
00:35:06,804 --> 00:35:09,568
Sir, we're losing the link.

764
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,098
This hearing is in recess
until tomorrow.

765
00:35:16,147 --> 00:35:18,172
We're not doing well.

766
00:35:18,249 --> 00:35:20,581
ls that your considered
legal opinion?

767
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:22,551
l'm sorry.

768
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:24,815
lt's just frustrating
to be told l have

769
00:35:24,889 --> 00:35:27,289
no more legal standing
than a replicator.

770
00:35:27,358 --> 00:35:29,656
lf the Doctor doesn't
have the right

771
00:35:29,727 --> 00:35:31,194
to control his own work,

772
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:33,230
then it stands to reason
he never had the right

773
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:35,424
to enter into an agreement
with Mr. Broht.

774
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:38,867
We could argue that the
original contract is invalid.

775
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:41,268
ln other words,
you want to concede

776
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:43,204
that the Doctor isn't a person.

777
00:35:43,274 --> 00:35:45,265
What we need to do...

778
00:35:45,376 --> 00:35:48,573
is prove that he is
just as much a person

779
00:35:48,646 --> 00:35:49,943
as any of us.

780
00:35:50,014 --> 00:35:51,174
How do we do that?

781
00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:54,047
By telling your real life story.

782
00:35:57,922 --> 00:36:00,550
Because l was having difficulty
interacting with the crew,

783
00:36:00,658 --> 00:36:02,387
the Doctor gave me
social lessons.

784
00:36:02,426 --> 00:36:04,621
First, he taught me
how to make conversation.

785
00:36:04,695 --> 00:36:07,129
Later, how to dance.

786
00:36:07,198 --> 00:36:09,166
Eventually, he showed me

787
00:36:09,233 --> 00:36:11,428
how to express
romantic interest.

788
00:36:11,536 --> 00:36:13,231
Without his guidance,

789
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:15,828
l wouldn't be the person
l am today.

790
00:36:15,973 --> 00:36:18,874
He decided it wasn't enough
to be just a doctor.

791
00:36:18,976 --> 00:36:21,877
So he added command subroutines
to his matrix,

792
00:36:21,946 --> 00:36:23,379
and now, in an emergency,

793
00:36:23,447 --> 00:36:25,881
he's as capable
as any Bridge officer.

794
00:36:25,983 --> 00:36:30,079
That only proves the Doctor's
program can be modified.

795
00:36:30,154 --> 00:36:31,382
Your Honor, l think it shows

796
00:36:31,455 --> 00:36:33,286
he has a desire
to become more than he is,

797
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:35,222
just like any other person.

798
00:36:35,293 --> 00:36:37,090
He traveled halfway
across the galaxy

799
00:36:37,161 --> 00:36:40,892
to care for Lewis Zimmerman,
the man who created his program.

800
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:42,158
lt was like a son

801
00:36:42,233 --> 00:36:45,396
who wanted to show his father
what he'd become,

802
00:36:45,503 --> 00:36:47,494
so the old man
would be proud of him,

803
00:36:47,605 --> 00:36:51,166
and if you ask me... he was.

804
00:36:51,275 --> 00:36:53,243
l'd made myself clear,

805
00:36:53,344 --> 00:36:56,575
but the Doctor disobeyed
my direct orders.

806
00:36:56,647 --> 00:36:59,445
ln the process,
he endangered the ship and crew.

807
00:36:59,517 --> 00:37:02,816
That's hardly
commendable behavior.

808
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,512
No, it wasn't,

809
00:37:04,589 --> 00:37:06,682
but it was human.

810
00:37:06,757 --> 00:37:10,420
Starfleet had programmed him
to follow orders.

811
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:12,826
The fact that he was capable
of doing otherwise

812
00:37:12,897 --> 00:37:15,889
proves that he can think
for himself.

813
00:37:17,001 --> 00:37:21,700
Your Honor, centuries ago,
in most places on Earth,

814
00:37:21,806 --> 00:37:25,242
only landowners
of a particular gender and race

815
00:37:25,309 --> 00:37:27,209
had any rights at all.

816
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:31,009
Over time, those rights
were extended to all humans,

817
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:33,710
and later,
as we explored the galaxy,

818
00:37:33,784 --> 00:37:36,412
to thousands
of other sentient species.

819
00:37:37,955 --> 00:37:40,788
Our definition of what
constitutes a person

820
00:37:40,858 --> 00:37:42,883
has continued to evolve.

821
00:37:43,027 --> 00:37:44,517
Now, we're asking

822
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:47,325
that you expand that definition
once more...

823
00:37:47,398 --> 00:37:48,990
to include our Doctor.

824
00:37:49,066 --> 00:37:52,331
When l met him seven years ago,
l would never have believed

825
00:37:52,436 --> 00:37:56,668
that an EMH could become
a valued member of my crew...

826
00:37:56,741 --> 00:37:59,209
and my friend.

827
00:37:59,310 --> 00:38:02,507
The Doctor is a person

828
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:06,481
as real as any flesh and blood
l have ever known.

829
00:38:06,517 --> 00:38:09,418
lf you believe the testimony
you've heard here,

830
00:38:09,487 --> 00:38:12,115
it's only fair
to conclude that he has

831
00:38:12,189 --> 00:38:14,123
the same rights as any of us.

832
00:38:20,064 --> 00:38:21,998
You'll have my decision
in two days.

833
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:24,432
This hearing is in recess.

834
00:38:36,013 --> 00:38:38,538
When you sing ''Happy
Birthday'' to your mother,

835
00:38:38,616 --> 00:38:40,140
try to stay in tune.

836
00:38:40,217 --> 00:38:41,343
What's this?

837
00:38:41,419 --> 00:38:43,751
An isolinear chip
entitling the bearer

838
00:38:43,821 --> 00:38:45,880
to three minutes
of com time tomorrow.

839
00:38:46,023 --> 00:38:47,149
You made it clear

840
00:38:47,224 --> 00:38:49,192
how important it was
to finish your conversation.

841
00:38:49,260 --> 00:38:51,558
l overreacted.

842
00:38:51,629 --> 00:38:54,097
l understand why you did.

843
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:57,157
l've been observing the crew
interacting with their families

844
00:38:57,234 --> 00:38:58,895
over the past few days.

845
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:00,697
lt's become clear to me

846
00:39:00,805 --> 00:39:02,830
how meaningful
that communication can be.

847
00:39:06,510 --> 00:39:09,638
Thanks, but l can't accept this.

848
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:11,181
Why not?

849
00:39:11,248 --> 00:39:13,273
You should contact
your own family.

850
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:15,819
My parents were assimilated.

851
00:39:15,886 --> 00:39:17,478
Well, there must be someone.

852
00:39:17,555 --> 00:39:19,386
A distant relative?

853
00:39:19,457 --> 00:39:22,392
My father has a sister
on Earth...

854
00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:24,155
lrene Hansen.

855
00:39:24,228 --> 00:39:27,994
l'm sure she'd be thrilled
to hear from you.

856
00:39:32,570 --> 00:39:34,333
You can imagine my reaction

857
00:39:34,438 --> 00:39:37,271
when Starfleet told me
to expect your call.

858
00:39:37,341 --> 00:39:40,799
l experienced
some apprehension myself.

859
00:39:40,911 --> 00:39:43,243
You seem like
a lovely young woman,

860
00:39:43,314 --> 00:39:48,513
but you were the most stubborn
six year old l've ever met.

861
00:39:48,586 --> 00:39:52,022
Your parents left you with me
for a weekend,

862
00:39:52,089 --> 00:39:53,215
and you were so angry,

863
00:39:53,290 --> 00:39:55,281
you locked yourself
in my guest room

864
00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:56,792
and refused to come out.

865
00:39:58,329 --> 00:40:01,264
That must have been...
inconvenient for you.

866
00:40:01,332 --> 00:40:04,062
Oh, l coaxed you out
eventually...

867
00:40:04,168 --> 00:40:05,795
with a strawberry tart.

868
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:08,269
l'm very fond of strawberries.

869
00:40:08,339 --> 00:40:10,603
l didn't realize
l'd eaten them as a child.

870
00:40:10,674 --> 00:40:12,232
You couldn't get enough of them.

871
00:40:13,344 --> 00:40:15,312
Of course, you didn't hesitate
to point out

872
00:40:15,379 --> 00:40:16,937
if they weren't perfectly ripe.

873
00:40:17,014 --> 00:40:20,916
l'm sorry if l insulted you.

874
00:40:20,985 --> 00:40:24,944
Perhaps l shouldn't have called.

875
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:27,182
No, l'm very glad you did.

876
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:31,661
lt's wonderful
to see you again, Annika.

877
00:40:38,369 --> 00:40:40,428
We're exploring
new territory today,

878
00:40:40,538 --> 00:40:41,835
so it is fitting
that this hearing

879
00:40:41,906 --> 00:40:43,965
is being held at Pathfinder.

880
00:40:44,074 --> 00:40:46,372
The Doctor exhibits
many of the traits

881
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,173
we associate with a person--

882
00:40:48,245 --> 00:40:52,909
intelligence, creativity,
ambition, even fallibility--

883
00:40:52,983 --> 00:40:54,917
but are these traits real

884
00:40:54,985 --> 00:40:57,977
or is the Doctor merely
programmed to simulate them?

885
00:40:58,055 --> 00:41:01,889
To be honest, l don't know.

886
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:04,494
Eventually,
we will have to decide,

887
00:41:04,562 --> 00:41:06,587
because the issue
of holographic rights

888
00:41:06,664 --> 00:41:08,632
isn't going to go away.

889
00:41:08,699 --> 00:41:11,327
But at this time,
l am not prepared to rule

890
00:41:11,435 --> 00:41:13,494
that the Doctor
is a person under the law.

891
00:41:13,604 --> 00:41:16,835
However, it is obvious he is

892
00:41:16,907 --> 00:41:19,876
no ordinary hologram,
and while l can't say

893
00:41:19,944 --> 00:41:21,502
with certainty
that he is a person,

894
00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:23,479
l am willing to extend
the legal definition

895
00:41:23,547 --> 00:41:25,242
of artist to include the Doctor.

896
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:26,578
l therefore rule

897
00:41:26,650 --> 00:41:28,550
that he has the right
to control his work,

898
00:41:28,619 --> 00:41:29,950
and l'm ordering all copies

899
00:41:30,054 --> 00:41:32,181
of his holonovels
to be recalled immediately.

900
00:41:32,256 --> 00:41:33,348
Your Honor...

901
00:41:33,424 --> 00:41:34,652
This hearing is adjourned.

902
00:41:34,725 --> 00:41:35,885
Congratulations, Doctor.

903
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,325
Thank you, Reg.

904
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:38,986
We'll be in touch, Captain.

905
00:41:41,365 --> 00:41:42,730
You don't look like someone

906
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,894
who's just struck the first blow
for the rights of holograms.

907
00:41:46,003 --> 00:41:47,595
l don't mean
to sound ungrateful,

908
00:41:47,705 --> 00:41:51,641
but it feels like a hollow
victory-- pardon the pun.

909
00:41:51,709 --> 00:41:54,507
The program's already been
played by thousands of people.

910
00:41:54,578 --> 00:41:55,510
The damage is done.

911
00:41:55,579 --> 00:41:56,568
We'll survive.

912
00:41:56,647 --> 00:41:57,807
lf l'm not mistaken,

913
00:41:57,882 --> 00:42:00,043
don't you have a holonovel
to revise?

914
00:42:00,150 --> 00:42:02,880
Do you think l'll be able
to find another publisher?

915
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,889
lf there's one thing
l've learned about you, Doctor,

916
00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:07,355
it's that you can do
just about anything

917
00:42:07,424 --> 00:42:08,823
you set your mind to.

918
00:42:17,501 --> 00:42:19,765
Time for your diagnostic.

919
00:42:19,870 --> 00:42:21,895
Report to the Holo-Lab.

920
00:42:22,072 --> 00:42:23,664
l know the routine.

921
00:42:23,774 --> 00:42:29,508
And... while you're there,
do yourself a favor.

922
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:33,346
Ask the operator
to run program 47-Beta.

923
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:35,282
Why? What is it?

924
00:42:35,352 --> 00:42:38,219
lt's called Photons Be Free.

925
00:42:38,289 --> 00:42:39,779
lt's quite provocative.

9999
00:00:0,500 --> 00:00:2,00
