    It wasn’t a sex doll, it was basically 24th century chatgpt imitating an engineer, and then shifting the role into romance. He never asked for that, and at most it was reading his body language etc. as feedback and played into the behaviors that got whatever the computer considered to be a positive response.

    Geordi’s best move once it was discovered probably would have been to say “I asked the computer to give me a realistic person to bounce ideas off of in a crisis, and I turned it off when it started saying weird stuff like that.” Assuming he didn’t go back to bone the hologram after the original episode ended, the computer should be able to back him up.

      Geordi’s best move would have been to start with, “You’re not going to believe this, but…” instead of giving off major creeper vibes for most of the episode, only fessing up once caught, and then trying to gaslight her into thinking it was unreasonable for her to be upset. Watching him try and squirm his way out of “How did you know that?” situations is painful.

      Geordi has sudo privs for sure.

      sudo rm holodeck.log
      

      Those missing logs? No idea. Must be a glitch. Try reversing the polarity and doubling the neutrino flow or some shit.

      Geordi had me assist him to formulate a solution for the engines. Upon completion, his eyes were dilated, cheeks flush, and there was a marked increase of heat in his groin.
