This Cache:
The holodeck is an enclosed room in which objects and people are simulated by a combination of transported matter, replicated matter, tractor beams, and shaped force fields onto which holographic images are projected.
Most holodeck programs run in first person "subjective mode", in which the user actively interacts with the program and its characters. The user may also employ third-person "objective mode", in which he or she is "apart" from the actual running of the program and does not interact with it (all of the program's characters will ignore the user as if he or she was not there.)
Matter created on the holodeck ("holomatter") requires the holoemitters to remain stable and will quickly disintegrate if removed from the holodeck without a mobile emitter to sustain it.
The holodeck is controlled by voice commands, though physical controls can be used in certain circumstances. Holodecks also include safety protocols to protect the users.
Some users may develop an addiction to the holodeck (a condition known as "holodiction"), leading to them spending unhealthy amounts of time there and personifying artificial characters.
Starfleet personnel use holodecks for training, diagnostics, and recreation. Holodecks are used to recreate or simulate settings and events for analysis, such as to explore the forensics and logistics of a crime scene for law enforcement purposes, or for scientific experimentation. In general, the holodeck functions as a cultural repository of narrative possibilities that would normally be excluded from the ship's own sociohistorical moment.

This Series:
This cache is part of the SPACE 2081: A Geocaching Odyssey challenge.
This challenge contains one cache of each difficulty and terrain combination, plus a final cache which can be found only after finding all 81 caches that are part of the series. Each of those 81 caches will contain a code, which you will use as part of the puzzle to solve the FINAL CACHE.
All the members of the space team are actual cachers who are remaining anonymous for the moment. You can find more info on the series, as well as a complete list of released caches HERE. Please do not post hints or spoilers in your logs. Also, each cache must be signed by any individual cachers going for the final.
Good luck, may the force be with you, live long and prosper.
