Star Trek has confirmed the Emergency Medical Hologram’s awesome post-Voyager fate. The Emergency Medical Hologram, or EMH, was one of Voyager’s most popular characters, thanks in part to his compelling story arc. Fans watched the EMH bloom and become a fully-realized person on his own, and in Star Trek: Lower Decks #3, published by IDW, his post-Voyager whereabouts are revealed.
Star Trek: Lower Decks #3, written by Ryan North and drawn by Chris Fenoglio, has revealed what happened to the EMH once Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant. In the comic, an accident has given a holographic version of Dracula sentience, and for most of the miniseries, the crew has debated what to do with him. As the crew fight off a Qvanti ship, Dracula volunteers to help the Cerritos fight. After the dust settles, Dracula is the hero of the battle. The issue ends with Dracula leaving the ship for Starfleet’s Emergency Holographic Academy. Designed for sentient holograms, most of them resembling characters from fiction, it is taught by Voyager’s EMH.
