 For well over four centuries, the Smithsonian Institute has forged scientific inroads into the cultural, anthropological, and biological evolution of Earth, boasting numerous museums, research centers, and zoological gardens across the planet.  Originally considered "the nation's attic" for old-Earth nation-state governments, the Smithsonian eventually became the custodian of a majority of the planet's premier archeological collections by the late twenty-fourth century.  The expansive Sully Annex in northern Virginia housed many of the offices, research labs, and cold storage facilities that formed the foundation of the Institute's science programs.  One such building was a glass and metal skyscraper that boasted a statue of Zephram Cochrane outside in the front courtyard, with an engraved concrete placard that read "SPACEFLIGHT HERITAGE CENTER" Deep within the heart of the building, past a maze of hallways and doors leading to offices and laboratories, a mechanical door that read "Division of Holography" above it was carved into the smooth pearlescent walls between two potted plants.  A thin horizontal nameplate affixed onto the door itself read "Doctor Lewis Zimmerman". For well over four centuries, the Smithsonian Institute has forged scientific inroads into the cultural, anthropological, and biological evolution of Earth, boasting numerous museums, research centers, and zoological gardens across the planet.  Originally considered "the nation's attic" for old-Earth nation-state governments, the Smithsonian eventually became the custodian of a majority of the planet's premier archeological collections by the late twenty-fourth century.  The expansive Sully Annex in northern Virginia housed many of the offices, research labs, and cold storage facilities that formed the foundation of the Institute's science programs.  One such building was a glass and metal skyscraper that boasted a statue of Zephram Cochrane outside in the front courtyard, with an engraved concrete placard that read "SPACEFLIGHT HERITAGE CENTER" Deep within the heart of the building, past a maze of hallways and doors leading to offices and laboratories, a mechanical door that read "Division of Holography" above it was carved into the smooth pearlescent walls between two potted plants.  A thin horizontal nameplate affixed onto the door itself read "Doctor Lewis Zimmerman".
  
-Inside the room, workbenches and computer consoles were laid out along the walls and towards the central spaces, hosting a plethora of equipment and monitors, all chirping and humming while processing a multitude of simulations and experiments.  Towards the rear of the lab, behind an L-shaped desk, an older, baling human with black, penetrating eyes bore a perpetual frown as he examined a fist-sized cylindrical piece of metal, it's surface heavily scored with pock-marks and carbonized blistering.+Inside the room, workbenches and computer consoles were laid out along the walls and towards the central spaces, hosting a plethora of equipment and monitors, all chirping and humming while processing a multitude of simulations and experiments.  Towards the rear of the lab, behind an L-shaped desk, an older, balding human with black, penetrating eyes bore a perpetual frown as he examined a fist-sized cylindrical piece of metal, it's surface heavily scored with pock-marks and carbonized blistering.
  
 "The EMH backup module is definitely a Galaxy Class design," the man spoke to a person on the communications monitor.  "Its optical interface nodes are of a configuration that's only compatible with a Galaxy Class holomatrix.  Based on the microtag, it obviously came from the USS Saratoga, but what it was doing on the Republic before her demise three years ago is anyone's guess." "The EMH backup module is definitely a Galaxy Class design," the man spoke to a person on the communications monitor.  "Its optical interface nodes are of a configuration that's only compatible with a Galaxy Class holomatrix.  Based on the microtag, it obviously came from the USS Saratoga, but what it was doing on the Republic before her demise three years ago is anyone's guess."
