   So... you could stay in the holodeck for a year and just live on   
   imaginary food? Did something like this actually happen?   
      
   That implies... hmm, I think it implies that the crew are being   
   converted to virtual avatars when they enter the holodeck. Perhaps it   
   also works the other way, which is how the holodeck creations can   
   occasionally escape and materialize.   
      
   Sounds crazy, but is it that far removed from transporter technology?   
   That also converts matter into a virtual representation and back again.
