Recap / Star Trek Voyager S 5 E 2 Drone

Edit locked.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/voy_drone209.jpg

This episode provides examples of:

  • This facet of Borg technology is what creates One. After a Teleporter accident swaps some of Seven's nanoprobes into the Doctor's 29th century mobile emitter, the nanoprobes find themselves in an unfamiliar environment and immediately set about adapting the technology to create a drone. The result is a Borg drone five centuries more advanced than anything in the current galaxy.
  • This also works against the crew later. When Seven disables the beacon that would have alerted the Borg to One's presence, his implants respond by generating another.
  • Attack Reflector : The Borg use a feedback pulse against Voyager's phasers.
  • Even before then, Seven tries to warn One about what the Borg would do to him. His response? "They will fail."
  • Book Ends : Seven of Nine looking into a mirror. The first time, she's practicing her smiles . The second time, she sees her own grief over One's death .
  • Downer Ending : One dies from his injuries after destroying the Borg ship, and quite willingly on his part, as the collective knowing of his existence means Voyager would be in constant danger and assimilating a 29th century drone would make the Borg that much more powerful. Or as One puts it, "I should not exist." Seven is, obviously, heartbroken. Seven: You are hurting me! One: You will adapt.
  • Express Delivery : A 29th-century Borg drone goes from tissue sample to fetus to full-grown adult in a day, much faster than even the standard Borg maturation chambers.
  • Fanservice : B'Elanna has a Toplessness from the Back moment when she strips off for her sonic shower. Unfortunately only the Doctor sees her sexy front .
  • Seven's suggestion to Tom about designing a larger shuttle leads to the creation of the Delta Flyer in "Extreme Risk".
  • The Doctor is taking up holophotography, which becomes significant in "Latent Image".
  • Harry mentioning that not even a Borg ship could survive inside the nebula.
  • The Gadfly : Chakotay congratulates Ensign Kim on his running of the 'night' shift, then innocently asks if it's true he makes the crew call him "Captain Kim".
  • Heroic Sacrifice : The drone sacrifices himself to destroy the Borg sphere and save Voyager .
  • Heroic Suicide : Having been retrieved from the wreckage of the Borg sphere, One puts up a force field to prevent the Doctor from treating his critical injuries and allows himself to die. This is because he knows that his continued existence will put the Voyager crew in jeopardy, since the Borg will be determined to assimilate him.
  • Hologram Projection Imperfection : Everyone is relieved at their Teleportation Rescue , until the Doctor starts flickering.
  • How About a Smile? : Seven is practising her smiling when the Doctor barges into her Cargo Bay. He appears not to have noticed, until he asks her to pose for a group shot. "And smile...like I know you can."
  • Infinite Supplies : They lost another shuttle (but this only incites them to build a bigger and tougher shuttle in a later episode).
  • Ironic Echo : Seven is really feeling her humanity when One decides to make his Heroic Sacrifice . Before, when he almost broke her arm trying to assimilate as much information as possible, she said, "You are hurting me," and he relented. After the sphere blows up in the nebula, One is dying, and refusing the Doctor's treatment with his personal shields; as before, though with heretofore unseen emotion, she says, "You are hurting me..." But this time, the Armor refuses to be dented, as One says, with much affection, "You will adapt," and dies.
  • I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder : The Doctor: "I'm a doctor, not a peeping tom ."
  • Locked Out of the Loop : Seven elects to avoid telling One about the Borg, in spite of his desire to learn. So, he decides to call them up himself and see what they're like...
  • My Significance Sense Is Tingling : Seven wakes up the moment her Borg systems sense the proximity of other Borg systems. Chakotay thinks It's Probably Nothing , but agrees to scan the area for Borg. It happens again when Ensign Mulcahey is attacked. By that time Chakotay has realised the Borg is on the ship, and dispatches a well-armed security team.
  • Naked Freak-Out : When the Doctor interrupts B'Elanna's sonic shower by turning on the two-way Video Phone while she's naked, she hurriedly covers herself with a Modesty Towel while the Doctor nonchalantly replies he's a doctor and she has nothing he hasn't seen before. She promptly throws the towel at the Video Phone in annoyance.
  • Not a Morning Person : B'Elanna leaves the Doctor's emitter in the Science Lab so the computer can run a diagnostic on it. At exactly 0600 she's woken by an impatient Doctor who wants his emitter back as soon as possible. B'Elanna: ( Death Glare ) The one day...I get to sleep in... EMH: You're worried about a few more seconds of unconsciousness? My freedom is at stake!
  • Oh, Crap! : Everyone on the bridge when One and then Seven start hearing the Collective calling to them. Fortunately, neither one gives in.
  • Our Showers Are Different : In the future we will have sonic showers. With a two-way Video Phone . Gene Roddenberry would be proud.
  • P.O.V. Cam : Once the Borg fetus is revealed, we get a green P.O.V shot of everyone peering in and discussing him, implying he's capable of understanding their speech even at that stage of development.
  • Rousseau Was Right : When Seven first links with the (as yet) unnamed drone, he starts forcibly probing her memories and won't stop—until she says, "You are hurting me." He then disengages.
  • Sickly Green Glow : Ensign Mulcahey enters the Science Lab and finds it glowing green. He grabs a tricorder and goes in for a closer look, only to get nabbed by a couple of Borg tubules. Fortunately he doesn't get assimilated; it was only taking a bio-sample.
  • Some Kind of Force Field : One that deflects Harry's scans of the science lab. And has a Borg signature.
  • Space Clouds : The proto-nebula.
  • Status Quo Is God : The fact that One has the Doctor's mobile emitter in his brain means that he's basically doomed from the beginning.
  • Super Prototype : While created by accident, One can be considered an advanced prototype, made using 29th century technology that makes him far more technologically advanced than anyone in the galaxy, Federation, Borg, or otherwise.
  • Teleporter Accident : During an emergency transport, Seven's Borg nanoprobes get merged with the Doctor's mobile emitter. It could have been worse as B'Elanna fell on top of the Doctor during a Screen Shake — they could have had a half-Klingon holographic doctor!
  • Teleporters and Transporters : One has this built into himself.
  • Too Cool to Live : One determines that as long as he exists, Voyager will be a target of the Borg. So when he is critically injured, he refuses treatment, and allows himself to die.
  • Tragic One-Shot Character : One.
  • Tron Lines : One has these on his person.
  • The Un-Smile : Seven is practicing her smiling .
  • Uterine Replicator : Tuvok and Seven enter the Science Lab to find a Borg maturation chamber.
  • Video Call Fail : But why would you put one in your sonic shower in the first place?
  • Ensign Mulcahey, while he isn't killed, is never seen again after his DNA is sampled by the Borg technology. Seems very odd since he's technically the drone's father. He will be mentioned in three more episodes but not appear onscreen.
  • After the plot starts to revolve around One, the Doctor's portable emitter gets only one brief mention. Since he has it back again in the following episodes though, it's logical to assume that they managed to retrieve it in an intact/repairable state out of One's corpse.
  • Would Not Hurt A Child : Faced with either killing the rapidly-growing Borg baby or studying it, Janeway chooses the latter.
  • You Are Number 6 : The drone is called One.

The Mobile emitter was a device that was from the 29th century .

History and specifications [ ]

Overview [ ].

This small palm sized autonomous machine was a self sustaining mobile holographic emitter that was created with the intention of remotely powering and enabling a hologram to function any distance away from any holoemitters . This piece of future technology was constructed of poly-deutonic alloy and generated photons as well as the forcefield necessary to allow a hologram to remain active in any environment. The nature of the device allowed its capabilities to be transferred from one Holographic program to another. The emitter was able to be placed either on the exterior "skin" of the hologram or was capable of being enveloped by the hologram instead thus hiding it from view. ( VOY episode : " Renaissance Man ")

History [ ]

Mobile emitter

A mobile emitter.

A mobile emitter was created in the 29th century and was present on the Timeship USS Aeon which was accidentally catapulted into the late 20th century where it was one of the technologies plundered by Henry Starling . He used the emitter to give mobility to The Doctor after downloading his program from the USS Voyager that had accompanied the Aeon accidentally into the past. At the end of the event, Captain Braxton of the Aeon returned Voyager to its place in the timeline and allowed them to retain the usage of the mobile emitter. ( VOY episode : " Future's End, Part II ")

Data on the mobile emitter was included in the list of information present in Pathfinder Project . Through studying it, Fabian Stevens attempted to make a replica of the technology as part of a project on the USS da Vinci . ( SCE eBook : Malefictorum )

Vic Fontaine learned of the mobile emitter and talked about it to Morn , who later had Bayal Sego construct one. ( DS9 novel : The Long Mirage )

By 2381 , the entirety of the emitter had been mapped on a molecular level though despite this being the case Starfleet lacked the means to fully replicate the technology. ( TOS novel : Captain's Glory )

In 2382 , Admiral Owen Paris of Starfleet Research and Development ordered the confiscation of the machine and for it to be taken to Galor IV for study. However, the Doctor filed a legal action to block the transfer of the emitter on the grounds that he was a sentient being and that his performance as well as quality of life were dependant on the device. The Judge Advocate General blocked the transfer of the technology until it had time to study the case and make a ruling on the matter.

The Soong Foundation attempted to make a holographic mobile emitter of their own design in 2383 and hoped that it could be adapted for civilian use at some point. ( ST website  : The Path to 2409 )

Mobile emitters are in widespread use in the 31st century , where any life form can have their minds uploaded into one and thus live almost indefinitely. ( DTI eBook : The Collectors )

Best Star Trek: Voyager Episode Of Each Main Character

  • Each main character on Star Trek: Voyager had standout episodes that showcased their individual strengths and storylines.
  • Episodes like "Before and After" (Kes), "Mortal Coil" (Neelix), "Latent Image" (The Doctor), and "One" (Seven of Nine) brought depth and development to these characters.
  • Captain Janeway's standout episode was "Year of Hell," which demonstrated her heroism, loyalty, vulnerability, and complexity.

Each main character on Star Trek: Voyager got a chance to shine during the show's run, and all of them have an episode that stands out as their best . Voyager was the fourth series in the Star Trek timeline and featured a cast of diverse characters, including Star Trek 's first female Captain, Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew). During Voyager 's run, Janeway led her crew on a journey through the Delta Quadrant after the USS Voyager became stranded on the other side of the galaxy in the show's pilot episode, "Caretaker, Parts I&II."

Like many Star Trek series, Voyager 's cast of characters acted as an ensemble, with no single character standing out as the "lead." Although Janeway was technically the show's main character, every member of the core cast had episodes that focused on them, delving more into each character's backstory and enriching them so that episodes where everyone worked together were made that much more enjoyable . All of Voyager 's main characters had multiple episodes centered on them, but certain episodes undeniably stand out as each character's best of the series.

Every Voyager Character Who Has Returned In Star Trek (& How)

Kes (jennifer lien), "before and after" - voyager season 3, episode 21.

"Before and After" was a tour de force for Kes, who up until that point had been underutilized . The episode focused on Kes traveling back in time from the moment of her death, showcasing an alternate future as she attempted to determine what was happening to her. Although some of the storytelling choices were surprising, such as Kes's future self being married to Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill), the character got to shine in a way that most other episodes didn't allow her to. "Before and After" also foreshadowed an important Voyager season 4 storyline, the "Year of Hell."

Honorable Mention: "Warlord" (Voyager season 3, episode 10)

Neelix (Ethan Phillips)

"mortal coil - voyager season 4, episode 12.

Neelix-focused episodes of Voyager were often hit or miss, but "Mortal Coil" stands above the rest as the character's best story. The episode explored questions of spirituality, existential issues, and psychological trauma when Neelix was brought back to life after being killed in a shuttle accident. "Mortal Coil" is a beautiful exploration of Neelix's past, culture, and trauma , and grapples with very real questions of life and death. The episode was also the first time Neelix was shown in the role of Naomi Wildman's (Brooke Stephens) godfather, kicking off one of the show's sweetest and most genuine father-daughter relationships.

Honorable Mention: "Homestead" (Voyager season 7, episode 23)

The Doctor (Robert Picardo)

"latent image" - voyager season 5, episode 11.

The Doctor was lucky enough to have several stellar episodes throughout Voyager 's run, but "Latent Image" was the character at his finest. The episode dealt with questions about the Doctor's humanity, which came into conflict with his original programming when he saved the life of Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) while allowing another Ensign who he did not know well to die. The Doctor's right to autonomy was also explored as the crew grappled with whether to erase his memories to keep his program from degrading.

The Doctor was always at his best when the question of his sentience was explored , and "Latent Image" was a wonderful example of this. The episode allowed Robert Picardo to stretch his acting talents and provided a gripping storyline that hooked audiences from the start with a mysterious twist. "Latent Image" also marked a real step forward in the Doctor’s journey to becoming more human and a shift in how the crew treated him, as an equal rather than a tool.

Honorable Mention: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy" (Voyager season 6, episode 4)

Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan)

"one" - voyager season 5, episode 25.

Seven of Nine was another character with many exceptional episodes during Voyager 's run, but "One" combined the best aspects of several of them to make a winner. Watching the character grapple with being alone as she was forced to pilot the USS Voyager across a dangerous nebula by herself while the crew is in stasis truly drove home Seven's Borg nature coming into conflict with her reemerging humanity . "One" was hilarious and terrifying by turns, and explored an emotional side of Seven that not many other episodes did, showcasing the duality of her strength and vulnerability perfectly.

Honorable Mention: "Someone to Watch Over Me" (Voyager season 5, episode 22)

Jeri Ryan, Voyagers Seven Of Nine & Star Trek Future Explained

Ensign harry kim (garrett wang), "timeless" - voyager season 5, episode 6.

"Timeless" showed a completely different side of Harry Kim after a miscalculation during an attempt to return home caused Voyager to crash into an ice planet, killing the whole crew except for Harry and Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran). The bitter, jaded, future version of Harry Kim in "Timeless" was such a departure from the character's usual personality and allowed Garrett Wang to show a different side of his acting talents, which was a big part of what made the episode so compelling . "Timeless" was also a classic Star Trek time-travel episode with a truly engaging storyline from start to finish.

Honorable Mention: "Emanations" (Voyager season 1, episode 9)

Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson)

"barge of the dead" - voyager season 6, episode 3.

Voyager episodes didn't often feature B'Elanna Torres, but the ones that did were always guaranteed to be great stories. "Barge of the Dead" was no exception, tapping back into what made B'Elanna such an interesting character: her half-Klingon heritage. The episode grappled with questions of life, death, and spirituality while thoroughly exploring B'Elanna's relationship with her Klingon mother, something that had only been hinted at before. The mother-daughter relationships in B'Elanna's life, including her relationship with Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) acted as the episode's emotional core , and the expansion of Klingon lore was a welcome addition.

Honorable Mention: "Faces" (Voyager season 1, episode 14)

Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill)

"thirty days" - voyager season 5, episode 9.

Tom Paris is arguably the character with the most dramatic arc during Voyager 's run, and "Thirty Days" demonstrated just how far he had come. "Thirty Days" was a fascinating character study of Tom's psyche and motivations as he dictated a letter to his father while stuck in the brig after violating the Prime Directive. The episode showcased how forceful Tom's convictions could be for things he cared about, a far cry from the apathetic, jade man he had been in Voyager 's pilot . "Thirty Days" was also a wonderful exploration of Tom's most important relationships, including Captain Janeway and B'Elanna Torres.

Honorable Mention: "Bride of Chaotica!" (Voyager season 5, episode 12)

Lt. Tuvok (Tim Russ)

"riddles" - voyager season 6, episode 6.

Some of Star Trek 's most interesting episodes involve a Vulcan losing control of his logic. "Riddles" was one of these episodes for Tuvok, showing the character's emotional side after an alien attack caused Tuvok to suffer brain damage. Seeing a vulnerable, childlike Tuvok was hilarious and heartwarming by turns, but the deeper emotional power of "Riddles" came through the bittersweet exploration of Tuvok's complicated relationship with Neelix . Tuvok and Neelix had always been portrayed as hilariously antagonistic, but watching Neelix's dedication to helping Tuvok navigate his new personality and the true friendship that blossomed between the two packed a punch.

Honorable Mention: "Innocence" (Voyager season 2, episode 22)

All 5 Star Trek Characters Played By Tuvok Actor Tim Russ

Commander chakotay (robert beltran), "shattered" - voyager season 7, episode 11.

Most Chakotay-centric episodes were in Voyager 's early seasons, but "Shattered" was a rare late-season treat that followed the character navigating through different time periods after Voyager became temporally split. Besides being a wonderful retrospective of Voyager in its final season, having Chakotay be the episode's point-of-view character was perfect . As the ship's First Officer and former Captain of Voyager 's Maquis crew, Chakotay was the ideal person to rally everyone to bring the ship back into temporal sync. Additionally, "Shattered" offered a great take on Chakotay and Captain Janeway, and brought back characters like Seska (Martha Hackett) for one more outing.

Honorable Mention: "Tattoo" (Voyager season 2, episode 9)

Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew)

"year of hell, parts i&ii" - voyager season 4, episodes 8&9.

As Voyager 's Captain, Kathryn Janeway was at the center of almost every episode, but "Year of Hell, Parts I&II" was Janeway at her absolute best. The episodes demonstrated Janeway's greatest strengths and greatest flaws as she and Voyager's crew weathered a brutal year-long attack by the Krenim Imperium. "Year of Hell" pushed Janeway to her limit, portraying her as a true hero and demonstrating her unwavering loyalty to her crew while also beautifully capturing her vulnerability and complexity . "Year of Hell" is one of Star Trek: Voyager 's best episodes , and this is largely thanks to Captain Janeway's performance.

Honorable Mention: "Counterpoint" (Voyager season 5, episode 10)

Best Star Trek: Voyager Episode Of Each Main Character

Screen Rant

Star trek's 5 best holograms.

The best holograms on Star Trek prove you don't need to be organic to be a great Star Trek character. Here are 5 photonic life forms we love.

  • Rios' holographic crew on La Sirena, each unique. Quarantine-friendly EMHs stay strong in this tale of individuality.
  • Professor Moriarty outsmarted typical holodeck roles. A genius villain breaks through limitations, craving freedom.
  • Vic Fontaine's sentient advice in a historical holographic hangout. A real friend among DS9's time of war, guidance given.

Star Trek 's best holograms may not be flesh and blood, but that doesn't keep them from being truly memorable characters. The holodeck was introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation as an update to the recreation room from Star Trek: The Animated Series and an entertainment feature for the crew members of the USS Enterprise-D . When the interactive environments and stories on the holodeck required characters, such as gangsters for Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) to confront while playing the part of hard-boiled detective Dixon Hill, the holodeck generated holograms that operated according to predetermined code.

While not a starship, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had smaller holosuites available for paying customers, owned and operated by Quark (Armin Shimerman). It was implied that the holograms generated by Quark's holosuites were intended to be a little more hands-on with guests, but family-friendly programs like Captain Benjamin Sisko's (Avery Brooks) baseball simulation were also available. Star Trek: Voyager took hologram technology to the next level, raising holograms from what were essentially non-player characters to becoming full-fledged individuals , with stories debating the personal rights and autonomy of holograms as photonic life-forms. Here are our five favorite Star Trek hologram characters.

Star Trek’s 20 Best Holodeck Episodes

5 santiago cabrera as cristóbal rios’ many holograms on la sirena, captain rios' one-man crew in star trek: picard.

La Sirena, the unregistered starship captained by Captain Cristóbal Rios (Santiago Cabrera), was designed to be operated by a crew of six. Because Rios was alone on La Sirena, Rios created his own holographic crew to take on the additional roles as needed. The holograms were all based on the basic Emergency Hologram model that came with La Sirena's operating system, but all five Emergency Holograms were overlaid with Rios' own appearance, memory, and personality . Each of Rios' holograms, who had their own names, could be distinguished by their different accents and personal style that differed from Cristóbal's, before they were merged into a single hologram, Emmet.

4 Daniel Davis as Professor James Moriarty

An adversary fit for data in star trek: the next generation.

Professor James Moriarty started out as a holographic facsimile of the infamous adversary of Sherlock Holmes and part of Lt. Commander Data's (Brent Spiner) Holmes-based mystery program. When even new mysteries generated by the program failed to challenge Data as Sherlock Holmes , Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) prompted the USS Enterprise-D's computer to develop a foe that would actually be a match for Data. Thus was born a new Professor Moriarty, aware of a world beyond the holodeck and its recreation of the 19th century. Moriarty sought an explanation and held Dr. Katherine Pulaski (Diana Muldaur) and control of the Enterprise hostage until he received it.

Although aware of being a hologram, Moriarty refused to accept the limitations of 24th-century technology.

Professor Moriarty grew beyond the limitations of his fictional origin, with new awareness rendering his desire for criminal activity more or less obsolete. Moriarty's core personality remained intact , however, since he saw no problem with holding hostages or making impossible demands in order to succeed at goals that he couldn't personally accomplish. Although aware of being a hologram, Moriarty refused to accept the limitations of 24th-century technology that kept him and his beloved Countess Regina Bartholomew (Stephanie Beacham) confined to the holodeck, and only relented when Moriarty believed he'd won.

A different version of Professor Moriarty who was an extension of Data as Daystrom Station's security program appeared in Star Trek: Picard season 3.

3 James Darren as Vic Fontaine

Star trek: deep space nine's vegas crooner.

In later seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , the holosuite program of choice was Vic's Las Vegas Lounge, recreating a 1960s nightclub, complete with its proprietor and star performer, sentient hologram Vic Fontaine. Vic was a down-to-earth, affable host who developed sentience spontaneously and prided himself on giving DS9's staff a place to take a break from the stress of the Dominion War. Because Vic was aware of the real world, Vic could regularly dole out advice, such as when Vic helped Constable Odo (Rene Auberjonois) woo Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor), or guided Ensign Nog (Aron Eisenberg) through the young Ferengi's PTSD.

2 Kate Mulgrew as Hologram Janeway

The guiding light of star trek: prodigy.

In Star Trek: Prodigy, the USS Protostar came equipped with a holographic training advisor modeled on Captain Kathryn Janeway, designed to maintain basic ship functions and assist the Protostar's crew as needed. When the Protostar was commandeered by a cadre of Delta Quadrant kids led by Dal R'El (Brett Gray), Hologram Janeway taught the new USS Protostar crew about the existence of the Federation. By providing them with hope beyond the dismal conditions they endured at the Tars Lamora mine, the Protostar crew came to regard Hologram Janeway as not just a teacher, but also a dear friend . As a result, Janeway's program expanded beyond her initial parameters.

5 Janeways In Star Trek: Prodigy Explained

1 robert picardo as the doctor, star trek: voyager's emergency medical hologram.

The first holographic character in a Star Trek show's main cast, Star Trek: Voyager 's Doctor was an artificial life form who explored humanity by viewing it from the outside, much like TNG 's Lt. Commander Data. An Emergency Medical Hologram initially designed to supplement regular medical staff in emergencies, the death of Voyager's original Chief Medical Officer made the Doctor Voyager's CMO by default. By constantly running, the Doctor exceeded his intended runtime and his original programming , with expansions to his program to become a father, opera singer, spy, comedian, historian, diplomat, holonovel author, advocate for hologram rights, and Emergency Command Hologram. A mobile emitter, based on 29th-century technology, freed the Doctor to exist anywhere.

The EMH's evolution from a simple medical program to a multifaceted, complex character made Star Trek: Voyager 's Doctor brilliant, beloved, and easily Star Trek 's best hologram.

The Doctor was responsible for huge strides in the way holograms were perceived. Kes (Jennifer Lien) was instrumental in convincing the Doctor that he was a full-fledged member of Voyager's crew, and entitled to rights and privileges like any organic person. The Doctor took Kes' advice to heart, and used it to guide Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) as she learned how to be human after years as a Borg drone. Although Voyager 's Doctor never chose a permanent name , the EMH's evolution from a simple medical program to a multifaceted, complex character made Star Trek: Voyager 's Doctor brilliant, beloved, and easily Star Trek 's best hologram.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Picard are streaming on Paramount+. Star Trek: Prodigy is streaming on Netflix.

The Doctor, Photons Be Free intro

The Narrator materializes

Photons Be Free was a provocative holonovel composed as a first-person narrative by The Doctor on USS Voyager in 2378 . The novel depicted the oppressed existence of an emergency medical hologram on board a Federation starship . The original draft was obviously at least inspired by Voyager and her crew, if not directly based on them, and The Doctor's attempts to revise his story led to major legal proceedings.

Premise [ ]

The Doctor narrates Photons Be Free

The narrator

The USS Vortex , a Federation starship always at red alert and thousands of light years from Earth , is much darker – literally and figuratively – than the ship it was based on, USS Voyager . The protagonist, played by the reader, is an EMH serving aboard the USS Vortex , and suffers many trials at the hands of the crew.

Unlike most holonovels, Photons Be Free did not react to the appearance of the person running the program beyond providing a sciences division uniform. The EMH was always referred to as having been made in the image of a male Human , regardless of the actual gender or species of the person playing the program.

Chapters [ ]

The original, unfinished version contained eight chapters all from the point of view of the ship's EMH, with an extended introduction and epilogue, as follows:

Introduction: [ ]

Where the narrator introduces the novel in its context, as well as advising those with a vascular disorder against viewing it without consultation from a physician . The acknowledgments, starting with Dr. Lewis Zimmerman , go on for over nine minutes.

Jenkins kills injured crewman

Captain Jenkins kills an injured crewman

Chapter 1 – "A Healer is Born" (in which our protagonist must make a difficult choice) [ ]

The reader plays the role of the EMH in a situation similar to The Doctor's first activation during the Caretaker encounter, and is faced with a triage situation. Captain Jenkins and Commander Katanay insist the EMH treat the "valuable" Lieutenant Marseilles , who has a mild concussion, rather than a critically injured patient with an aortic rupture who is about to die. To "resolve" the situation, Captain Jenkins coldly kills the latter.

Chapter 5 – "Out of the Frying Pan" (in which our protagonist must confront abusive colleagues) [ ]

Lt. Marseilles alerts the EMH to an emergency in engineering where a plasma conduit has just exploded. To leave sickbay , the protagonist has to wear a fifty kilogram backpack version of the mobile emitter . After arriving in engineering to discover that there is no disaster, just a particularly mean-spirited Torrey , the EMH returns to discover Lt. Marseilles giving a female crewmember a " tonsillectomy " on the biobed . Discovered, Marseilles threatens to erase the EMH's memory if he informs his wife. It's at this point that another female crewmember shows up for her "physical".

Jenkins discovers extra subroutines

Captain Jenkins discovers the "extracurricular subroutines"

Chapter 6 – "Duel in the Ready Room" (in which our protagonist faces an inquisition) [ ]

In her ready room , adorned with weapons, Captain Jenkins informs the protagonist that during an inventory of the EMH holomatrix she found 102 gigaquads of memory, fifty for music , forty-two for daydreams , and ten for expanded sexuality , wasted on extracurricular subroutines the EMH doesn't need. She then orders Tulak and Kymble to take the EMH to the Vortex 's hololab to be reprogrammed.

Chapter 7 – "The Escape" (in which our protagonist is aided by his only ally) [ ]

While in the turbolift , Kymble expresses concern that they may damage the EMH if they start removing subroutines. After the doors open they are met by Three of Eight , who is able to disable them with a Borg force field . This provides the protagonist enough time to get away, but the EMH is quickly stopped by one of the ship's security force fields .

Three of Eight pleads for The Doctor

Three of Eight pleads The Doctor's case to Captain Jenkins

Chapter 8 – "A Tragic End" (in which our protagonist learns his fate) [ ]

After a passionate speech by Three of Eight on holographic rights , Captain Jenkins ultimately decides to have the EMH decompiled and reinitialized, and to be kept offline except when needed. The narrative ends with everything fading to black.

Epilogue: [ ]

Where the narrator reminds the protagonist that this was a work of fiction, but "like all fiction has elements of truth", and asks that they think on "the struggles holograms have to endure, in a world controlled by organics."

Characters [ ]

Altered version [ ].

Paris as the holo-narrator

The narrator of the altered version sets the scene for The Doctor

The Doctor, Photon's Be Free

The CMO in the altered version

Tom Paris modified the program in order to point out how the portrayal of the crew was insulting and libelous.

This altered version took place aboard the USS Voyeur , where the protagonist would play the role of the chief medical officer 's assistant while having to "learn to tolerate his overbearing behavior and obnoxious bedside manner."

Much like the original, the narrator is sitting at a desk writing in a book while wearing a robe. He smugly acknowledges the reader's great taste and stands up, explaining the premise and reminds the reader that "patience is a virtue".

To prevent The Doctor from exiting the satire, Paris deliberately created a protocol to prevent the program from being shut down until the story had run its course.

Chapter 1 – "It's The Doctor's world, you're just living in it" [ ]

The reader was confronted by the CMO over being 24 seconds late to duty. He then proceeded to treat Two of Three for an out of alignment biradial clamp by giving her a Klingon aphrodisiac and proceeding to seduce and take advantage of her.

Reception [ ]

Two EMH Mark Is discuss Photons Be Free

Two EMH Mark Is discussing Photons Be Free

Neelix , who did not have a counterpart in the novel, was the only member of the crew who praised it, appreciating the point that The Doctor was trying to make while arguing that The Doctor needed to consider how his actions affected others.

It was Tom Paris' negative reaction to the program that led him to create his altered version. When The Doctor protested the changes that Paris had made, he used his own arguments against him. Objecting to the way the character using his image was presented, Paris stated that he thought he had come to earn his respect, stating that he was surprised The Doctor had even noticed that he was a married man with a lot of responsibilities. It was this conversation that led The Doctor to begin reconsidering his program and talk with Neelix, who gently guided him to make certain changes to the program and even provided him with his isolinear chip allowing him the right time to comm-time with the Alpha Quadrant .

Broht & Forrester , the same publisher behind works like the Dixon Hill series and Toby the targ , released the unfinished rough draft against The Doctor's wishes. It quickly became a hot program playing in thousands of holosuites across the Alpha and Beta Quadrants . This version was later recalled after legal action, allowing The Doctor to make various edits that would avoid making the characters seem like representatives of the Voyager crew. Four months after it was recalled though, several EMH-Mark Is on a Federation dilithium processing facility had a copy. ( VOY : " Author, Author ")

Appendices [ ]

Background information [ ].

This program bears a similarity to the initial Kyrian holographic simulation in " Living Witness ". In that episode, a backup copy of The Doctor was the one arguing that the Voyager crew weren't really as they had been depicted.

Voyager 1, First Craft in Interstellar Space, May Have Gone Dark

The 46-year-old probe, which flew by Jupiter and Saturn in its youth and inspired earthlings with images of the planet as a “Pale Blue Dot,” hasn’t sent usable data from interstellar space in months.

star trek voyager mobiler emitter episode

By Orlando Mayorquin

When Voyager 1 launched in 1977, scientists hoped it could do what it was built to do and take up-close images of Jupiter and Saturn. It did that — and much more.

Voyager 1 discovered active volcanoes, moons and planetary rings, proving along the way that Earth and all of humanity could be squished into a single pixel in a photograph, a “ pale blue dot, ” as the astronomer Carl Sagan called it. It stretched a four-year mission into the present day, embarking on the deepest journey ever into space.

Now, it may have bid its final farewell to that faraway dot.

Voyager 1 , the farthest man-made object in space, hasn’t sent coherent data to Earth since November. NASA has been trying to diagnose what the Voyager mission’s project manager, Suzanne Dodd, called the “most serious issue” the robotic probe has faced since she took the job in 2010.

The spacecraft encountered a glitch in one of its computers that has eliminated its ability to send engineering and science data back to Earth.

The loss of Voyager 1 would cap decades of scientific breakthroughs and signal the beginning of the end for a mission that has given shape to humanity’s most distant ambition and inspired generations to look to the skies.

“Scientifically, it’s a big loss,” Ms. Dodd said. “I think — emotionally — it’s maybe even a bigger loss.”

Voyager 1 is one half of the Voyager mission. It has a twin spacecraft, Voyager 2.

Launched in 1977, they were primarily built for a four-year trip to Jupiter and Saturn , expanding on earlier flybys by the Pioneer 10 and 11 probes.

The Voyager mission capitalized on a rare alignment of the outer planets — once every 175 years — allowing the probes to visit all four.

Using the gravity of each planet, the Voyager spacecraft could swing onto the next, according to NASA .

The mission to Jupiter and Saturn was a success.

The 1980s flybys yielded several new discoveries, including new insights about the so-called great red spot on Jupiter, the rings around Saturn and the many moons of each planet.

Voyager 2 also explored Uranus and Neptune , becoming in 1989 the only spacecraft to explore all four outer planets.

star trek voyager mobiler emitter episode

Voyager 1, meanwhile, had set a course for deep space, using its camera to photograph the planets it was leaving behind along the way. Voyager 2 would later begin its own trek into deep space.

“Anybody who is interested in space is interested in the things Voyager discovered about the outer planets and their moons,” said Kate Howells, the public education specialist at the Planetary Society, an organization co-founded by Dr. Sagan to promote space exploration.

“But I think the pale blue dot was one of those things that was sort of more poetic and touching,” she added.

On Valentine’s Day 1990, Voyager 1, darting 3.7 billion miles away from the sun toward the outer reaches of the solar system, turned around and snapped a photo of Earth that Dr. Sagan and others understood to be a humbling self-portrait of humanity.

“It’s known the world over, and it does connect humanity to the stars,” Ms. Dodd said of the mission.

She added: “I’ve had many, many many people come up to me and say: ‘Wow, I love Voyager. It’s what got me excited about space. It’s what got me thinking about our place here on Earth and what that means.’”

Ms. Howells, 35, counts herself among those people.

About 10 years ago, to celebrate the beginning of her space career, Ms. Howells spent her first paycheck from the Planetary Society to get a Voyager tattoo.

Though spacecraft “all kind of look the same,” she said, more people recognize the tattoo than she anticipated.

“I think that speaks to how famous Voyager is,” she said.

The Voyagers made their mark on popular culture , inspiring a highly intelligent “Voyager 6” in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” and references on “The X Files” and “The West Wing.”

Even as more advanced probes were launched from Earth, Voyager 1 continued to reliably enrich our understanding of space.

In 2012, it became the first man-made object to exit the heliosphere, the space around the solar system directly influenced by the sun. There is a technical debate among scientists around whether Voyager 1 has actually left the solar system, but, nonetheless, it became interstellar — traversing the space between stars.

That charted a new path for heliophysics, which looks at how the sun influences the space around it. In 2018, Voyager 2 followed its twin between the stars.

Before Voyager 1, scientific data on the sun’s gases and material came only from within the heliosphere’s confines, according to Dr. Jamie Rankin, Voyager’s deputy project scientist.

“And so now we can for the first time kind of connect the inside-out view from the outside-in,” Dr. Rankin said, “That’s a big part of it,” she added. “But the other half is simply that a lot of this material can’t be measured any other way than sending a spacecraft out there.”

Voyager 1 and 2 are the only such spacecraft. Before it went offline, Voyager 1 had been studying an anomalous disturbance in the magnetic field and plasma particles in interstellar space.

“Nothing else is getting launched to go out there,” Ms. Dodd said. “So that’s why we’re spending the time and being careful about trying to recover this spacecraft — because the science is so valuable.”

But recovery means getting under the hood of an aging spacecraft more than 15 billion miles away, equipped with the technology of yesteryear. It takes 45 hours to exchange information with the craft.

It has been repeated over the years that a smartphone has hundreds of thousands of times Voyager 1’s memory — and that the radio transmitter emits as many watts as a refrigerator lightbulb.

“There was one analogy given that is it’s like trying to figure out where your cursor is on your laptop screen when your laptop screen doesn’t work,” Ms. Dodd said.

Her team is still holding out hope, she said, especially as the tantalizing 50th launch anniversary in 2027 approaches. Voyager 1 has survived glitches before, though none as serious.

Voyager 2 is still operational, but aging. It has faced its own technical difficulties too.

NASA had already estimated that the nuclear-powered generators of both spacecrafts would likely die around 2025.

Even if the Voyager interstellar mission is near its end, the voyage still has far to go.

Voyager 1 and its twin, each 40,000 years away from the next closest star, will arguably remain on an indefinite mission.

“If Voyager should sometime in its distant future encounter beings from some other civilization in space, it bears a message,” Dr. Sagan said in a 1980 interview .

Each spacecraft carries a gold-plated phonograph record loaded with an array of sound recordings and images representing humanity’s richness, its diverse cultures and life on Earth.

“A gift across the cosmic ocean from one island of civilization to another,” Dr. Sagan said.
