Cori took it gingerly and immediately shook her head. “Nah, it’s fine. I would have pinged that that instant you came aboard the ship if that were the case.” Moving off the couch to the desk, she reached into a drawer and pulled out a standard science kit. “Catch,” she said before gently tossing a tricorder at the doctor.

She sighed, relieved. “That’s a relief. I wouldn’t want them to bother you,” she said honestly. Hannah deftly caught the tricorder out of the air. She reattached her implant and then flipped open the tricorder and walked over to Cori. She pointed at the emitter, “May I?”

“I’m more worried about torpedoes and phaser to be honest. Failing shields are more of a problem than small devices emitting frequencies,” Dalton admitted causally.

Spreading her hands out to the side, Cori smirked. “Go right ahead.” She was all photonic energy aside from the metallic and elastic that formed the device that fit around her left bicep.

Hannah began scanning the emitter focusing on any emissions and radio frequencies put out by the emitter. Hannah tapped away at the tricorder and after a minute she she had identified the frequency. She took off both her implants and using her thumb nail because she didn’t bring her tools, she took several minutes to make the adjustments. When she was done, she put the implants back on. There was still some buzzing, but it was mild and she should be able to identify it later. She smiled. “Thank you, Cori.” She handed back the tricorder.

“There is no…back up? No separate storage for your consciousness?” She knew Cori wasn’t a program, but her consciousness was stored in the computer. Hannah was beginning to come up with an idea…but she’d have to do some research first. And the laws behind it…well there would have to be a work around for that, and if Cori was already considered still a person, then her idea…Hannah stopped before she got ahead of herself.

She couldn’t help it. Cori barked a loud laugh. “If only,” she said, with a trailed chuckle and finished with a sigh. “Nah, another complicated situation, but the only way I exist is because I was scattered throughout the computer taking up nooks and crannies. It’s why the mobile emitter is so complicated. We’re never quite sure how much of me if ever actually contained within it. But assume that the most essential bits what you see and experience right now. I’m not really immortal. Once accident and-“she snapped her fingers-” game over. It’s kind of comforting actually.” There were caveats with that but even with Jarred’s latest idea, they constantly risked the equivalent of brain damage.

Hannah wasn’t sure what to say to that. She knew that it wasn’t a simple matter of replicating another emitter. Just like artificial organs the parts could be replicated, but the whole thing had to be assembled by hand. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. I’m sorry everything is so complicated.” Hannah would normally offer to meet for coffee or a something similar when making new friends, but that wasn’t really considerate in this situation. “I hope this isn’t an insensitive question, but you have access to all the programs, what’s your favorite holoprogram?”
