The Holodeck
Picard and Ned McFeely on the Holodeck. Ned is dressed in sandals, cargo shorts, and a t-shirt that says “God was my co-pilot but we crashed in the mountains and I ate him.” He stands on a path beside a trickling mountain stream amid lush green surroundings. Picard, in uniform, approaches.
Picard
Are you Ned McFeely?
Ned
Sure, why not.
Picard
My name is Jean-Luc Picard. I can’t say more for the moment…
Ned
I know who you are, Captain. And this is a Holodeck?
Picard
Uh, it is, yes. How did you know that?
Ned
The dreamstate by any other name…
(examines his hands)
So I’m not really here? My sense of self-awareness is an illusion?
