(~Program Break~) [Dictated]

[Holodeck Filter]

Now that most of you are back from your little away mission...

[There might be some annoyance there, maybe at the fact that he couldn't go, or that everyone up and left. Who knows. Best not to call him out on it.]

The processing computer is now fully functional to Federation standards. All that needs to happen now is the holo-emitters built, placed and linked.

Trust me. That's the easy part.

Everyone able, please report to the holodeck as soon as possible. Let's get this task over with, shall we?

Wow. Bossy, much.

[personal profile] a_11 2013-09-12 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
No-one's forcing you to help.
whichwayyoulean: (I worried about it with all of my heart)

[personal profile] whichwayyoulean 2013-09-12 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but a thank you and a please wouldn't kill you, you know.

That's a security measure, it's got nothing to do with manners, seesh.
a_11: (sigh)

[personal profile] a_11 2013-09-22 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure.

Helping is strictly voluntary, but this project will go alot quicker with more people.
whichwayyoulean: (Bitch I have the best jingles)

[personal profile] whichwayyoulean 2013-09-22 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the general idea, yeah.

I would, but I'm a little out in the Dead Zone right now. If there's still work to do when I get back this weekend, I'll be glad to help.

There likely will be. Holo-emitters are the most crucial part of any holodeck, after all. Time will need to be taken to make sure they're calibrated correctly and exactly to standard.

[A pause.]

I am the troubleshooting program of the diagnostic matrix for the Emergency Medical Holographic system, created by the Federation's lead on holo-programming, Dr. Lewis Zimmerman.

I also happen to be in his image. So, Dr. Zimmerman will suffice.

Yeah, fair enough. I'll drop by when I can.

--A subroutine with a whole different personality? Impressive. Well, nice to meet you, Dr. Zimmerman.

Subroutines. Plural. My program is a complex weave of visual, memory and command subroutines that make up the standard matrix myself and your EMH use.

How is it that you're all together in one memory unit without, I don't know, fighting over what color the curtains are?
a_11: (working)

[personal profile] a_11 2013-09-17 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
There's no scientific reason for my program to be active. I was used as an extension to the EMH's matrix when he was suffering a memory cascade failure. Once my program was overlaid on the EMH's, I ceased to exist.
encryptedlock: (unarmored: sure about that?)

[personal profile] encryptedlock 2013-09-19 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Ceased to exist? Past tense?

[Seems awfully...well, final.]
a_11: (working)

[personal profile] a_11 2013-09-22 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Past tense. My matrix was used to extend the EMH's and solve his memory problem. Adding my personality to the mix would be pointless.

Although, I was rushed. It makes sense that some of my program would exist within the EMH's, but not enough to recompile me entirely, I wouldn't have thought.
encryptedlock: (unarmored: sure about that?)

[personal profile] encryptedlock 2013-09-22 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
And you were okay with this?

[No AI York knew would be, but then, he's aware that things are different between different worlds.]
a_11: (sigh)

[personal profile] a_11 2013-09-22 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
If I weren't, would I have developed the protocol to do it?

[The doc's tone is dry enough to get his point across.]

The EMH was Voyager's only medical staff. Granted, a full re-initialisation of his program would have done the same, but he was only designed to be an emergency supplement. The graft extended his operational lifespan so he wouldn't need to be wiped clean and restarted every few months.

[And he's not going to mention how Kes sweet-talked him into agreeing.]

Oh, there are a lot of ways to force someone to do something. That's why I'm asking--you were willing to give up everything you were so that you wouldn't need to reinstall a program every few months?

Not that I'm saying it wasn't necessary, because I don't know the situation. It just seems--I don't know, extreme. Not a sacrifice everybody would be willing to make.
a_11: (listening)

[personal profile] a_11 2013-09-22 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I was posed with some... compelling arguments.

Besides, I'm just a diagnostic matrix. I did my function by ensuring the EMH ran smoothly.

[A pause.]

If you're worried my non-existant rights were infringed, might I remind you that I technically don't exist?
encryptedlock: (pic#5789354)

[personal profile] encryptedlock 2013-09-22 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't mean you don't have the right to your own identity. I bet there are quite a few people here who don't technically exist.

I mean, if it was your own free choice, I suppose that's okay. Just seems odd to me.
