 "Very possible," he replied.  "If I were to add it all up, there's enough data in here to build almost ten different optical matrices," the doctor explained while looking over the device in his hand.  "But I can't initialize any of them without a master image sequence from the EMH, and those data nodes have all been damaged beyond repair." "Very possible," he replied.  "If I were to add it all up, there's enough data in here to build almost ten different optical matrices," the doctor explained while looking over the device in his hand.  "But I can't initialize any of them without a master image sequence from the EMH, and those data nodes have all been damaged beyond repair."

 "No," the doctor dismissed the idea while shaking his head. "An existing EMH program encodes a rekeying sequence in each data packet, and there's easily four billion packets.   I'd have to manually decode each one if I were to transfer another image sequence.  If I miss even one of them, I'd cause the module's entire programming to reset, losing all those other external sequences while the EMH reintegrates itself.  What I really need to do is use a fresh master sequence without any encoding." "No," the doctor dismissed the idea while shaking his head.

 Theo looked around the chamber, taking note of each and every detail.  "From the sensor readings we got on the shuttle, I'd say the life support systems wouldn't support more than a half dozen officers and men.  If I had to guess, this is a personal yacht of some type.  Not a military ship.  This cargo hold may have once been the food refrigeration unit for the galley.  Those look like sealed coolant manifolds," he said, pointing at a pair of capped pipes barely protruding from the corner wall near the floor. Theo looked around the chamber, taking note of each and every detail.  "From the sensor readings we got on the shuttle, I'd say the life support systems wouldn't support more than a half dozen officers and men.  If I had to guess, this is a personal yacht of some type.  Not a military ship.  This cargo hold may have once been the food refrigeration unit for the galley.  Those look like sealed coolant manifolds," he said, pointing at a pair of capped pipes barely protruding from the corner wall near the floor.
