The EMH Mark II meets the EMH Mark I
During his first mission to the Alpha Quadrant , the
Doctor was instrumental in establishing contact with Starfleet . When
Voyager discovered a Hirogen communications
network leading into the edge of the quadrant, the crew attempted to send a
message through to a Starfleet vessel within range of the furthest relay. When
the message failed to reach the Alpha Quadrant, it was decided to send a
hologram, as it was less likely to decompile before reaching its destination,
and the Doctor was the only program large enough to have a chance of making it
through intact; they lacked the time to write a holographic message before the
Prometheus moved out of range.
When the Doctor reached the Starfleet vessel USS
Prometheus, he soon discovered that the ship had been taken over by Romulans , once
again claiming holographic neutrality to escape deletion. The Doctor had to
activate the experimental EMH Mark II on board and, despite
the initial conflict between the two (the Mark II thought that the Doctor was
defective and obsolete, while the Doctor regarded the Mark II as an arrogant new
upstart), the holograms retook control of the vessel, combining the Doctor's own
personal experience with the Mark II's detailed knowledge of the ship. Having
defeated the Romulan warbirds, Starfleet officers boarded the ship, and the
Doctor was subsequently able to speak directly with Starfleet Headquarters and
set the record straight about Voyager's disappearance. When the Doctor
returned to Voyager, it was with the welcome news that the ship no longer
was alone. ( VOY : " Message in a
Bottle ")
