A holodeck, in the fictional Star Trek universe, is a simulated reality facility located on starships and starbases. The first use of a holodeck by that name in the Star Trek universe was in the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Encounter at Farpoint, although a conceptually similar "recreation room" appeared in an episode of Star Trek: the Animated Series. The holodeck is depicted as an enclosed room in which objects and people are simulated by a combination of transported matter, replicated matter, tractor beams, and shaped force fields onto which holographic images are projected. Sounds and smells are simulated by speakers and fragranced fluid atomizers, respectively. The feel of a large environment is simulated by suspending the participants on force fields which move with their feet, keeping them from reaching the walls of the room.
It would also keep me from sexually assaulting anything with a vagina on a spaceship. So
Worf better keep his forehead covered around me. I was recently talking to
Miss. T. about the holodeck and the things I would do if I were aboard the
Starship Enterprise and had access to one. Honestly, nothing kosher. If a machine could recreate anything I imagined and wanted there would be an orgy that put
Caligula to shame! Shit that would shame my ancestors. My great-great-great-great grandfather would be picking cotton and all of a sudden start crying and not even know why. Look at
Riker. You know him and
Troi were banging in the holodeck.
