[TFT6] Holograms

A note on Holograms - They come in 3 modes
Mode 1 - Classic - this is an AI running on a remote machine who manfiests a holographic persona to interact with, uses holograms and force fields to simulate having a solid body when convenient.
Mode 2 - Mobile - In this case the Hologram is an AI running on a dedicated unit.
The Original was EMH Mk 1 who acquired a 29th-century mobile holoprojector.
25th-century holoprojectors are much more bulky units, composed of a cylinder with a globe on top. This device floats and manifests the hologram of the selected persona, using force fields to simulate touching and to manipulate objects.
Mode 3 Robust Mobile - This case is for combat and survival purposes. The Hologram is run on a dedicated brain inside a robotic skeleton. The skeleton is tuned to the size and proportions desired by the Holographic person and their hologram is projected over it. The unit usually has hands designed to mimic the size and shape of the selected persona.
This device is more limited than the classic and mobile forms. But it uses far less energy and is less vulnerable to disruption, blocking or technological dampening efforts than the other forms. Holograms desscribe it as a sort of armored exoskeleton for holograms.
As Starfleet of this timeline is using a lot of Holograms and AIs to help with the war, consideration is given to their survivability and comfort.
Each Starship is equipped with a system designed to run numerous AIs and allow them to manifest holograms at convenient and approptiate places, But this system has limited access to the ship's main computers to prevent hostile AIs from taking over as easily.
