To make this clear: you can be injured, but not fatally, in a holodeck with the safties on. With the safties off, everything is as dangerous as real life.

Of course in real life you wouldn't become confused by a flying pumpkin in a mansion, or battle a two-headed dragon in an ice cave.

yeah... damned pumpkins. i keep getting killed.

i thought you couldnt be seriously injured in a holodeck either.

PurpleSmurf · « **Reply #52 on:** 2001-12-31 20:35:00 »

dude lay off the pumpkins. I have a bird called pumpkin, and darkness is scared of her, and she could kick clouds ass. i think. she a meanish little bird but she's cool. anyway just cause i have nothing better to do for the next 20 minutes i went out and looked up the holodeck rules, and didn't find anything.as far as i've seen darkness is right you can't be seriously hurt but if you get kick in teh head then you would be sore for like a day. maybe later i'll try again. but now tooooooooo HASTINGS!!! bum bumbumbum

Hey, has anybody seen that Star Trek: Voyager episode where the Hirogen captured Voyager, and forced them into that holodeck WW2 scenario?

Well, there's this one part where Torres said she got impregnated by one of the holographic characters.

Uh, just how exactly could that work?

I mean, would it be a real life person, or a hologram?

Also, what would happen if she went outside the holodeck while she was still pregnant? I'm guessin' that she would have a miscarage, 'cause half the DNA would dematerialize the instant she left the room. Well, I suppose maybe it wouldn't, due to the way DNA replicates itself.......

But still, what would she tell her son/daughter? To paraphrase Monty Python & the Holy Grail, "Your mother was a half-klingon, and your father was a hologram!"

i saw that

i think that if she left the holodek, she would return to normal, aside from the brainwash.

Mmmmmm...."Monty Python & and the Holy Grail". that was the best movie. anyway i saw that episode. but in that they has the safety protocols off so maybe holographic sperm could actualy exist and contain genecit coding. that'd be cool is tores had had the baby. half-german/half-klingon/half-human hmm thats to many half but you get the idea. and they should have had a species 8472 join the crew or something close that. they didn't have nearly enough 8472 stuff in that show.

I saw that episode too, I thought that it was part of the simulation that she was pregnant and was therefore only simulated pregnant and couldnt have a baby.

PurpleSmurf · « **Reply #57 on:** 2002-01-01 17:52:00 »

but what about the last episode where the docter was married to that lady and they were planning on having children?

Sephiroth 3D · « **Reply #58 on:** 2002-01-01 19:16:00 »

*sigh* It wasn't a real child or a holographic one. It was a cosmetic attachment created by the Doctor under orders by the Hirogen.

As for the doctor and his kid, who knows? He DID have a kid on that one planet that existed like 10 times faster than everything else. The doctor was sent on reconnisance, and accidently got left there for 3 years. During that 3 years, he got married and had a kid. Maybe it was donated Sperm...

Well, it might be feasible in Torres' case. If you got pregnant by a holographic character, and stayed in the holodeck long enough for the DNA in the embreyo to copy itself via replication or transcription, then there's a chance that the new copy would be 100% non-holographic, since DNA is generally self-replicating.

I don't know if I worded that in an-easy-to-understand way, but anyone who has taken either an Anatomy & Physiology, Pre-Med, or college genetics class probably knows what I'm talking about.

Darkness · « **Reply #60 on:** 2002-01-01 22:37:00 »

i got it. youd have a half holographic child. walk out of the holodeck and it would be missing half of it's genetic structure.

Goku7 · « **Reply #61 on:** 2002-01-01 23:06:00 »

Bingo, I guess.

I could just imagine the child complaining:

"But Mom, why do I hafta wear this stupid mobile emitter!? None of the other kids do! I'm an organic life-form, right? (starts sobbing) ...............Right?"

Darkness · « **Reply #62 on:** 2002-01-02 01:33:00 »

wow. thats sad in a weird sci-fi sort of way.

Sephiroth 3D · « **Reply #63 on:** 2002-01-02 02:48:00 »

I think things like holographic sperm don't quite work the way they do in real life. More than likely, they're all sterile.

But the fact that she got pregnant disproves that idea.

Sephiroth 3D · « **Reply #65 on:** 2002-01-02 06:09:00 »

No she wasn't! She wasn't pregnant! She just thought she was because that's the way they had re-programmed her. It was just cosmetic effects created by the Doctor! How many times do I have to say that?!

And if it's not cosmetic, it looks like a pregnancy cause the holodeck is projecting that onto her! SHE WAS NOT PREGNANT!
