    But when someone else enters the holodeck through the door, are they virtually right next to you, 100 miles from your starting point, or do they also start at your starting point?

      It’s super inconsistent, and the technology seems to mostly work on dramatic convenience.

      You’re coming to chat with your ex about feelings and jealousy and stuff? Door pops up right there. You’re coming to bust the porny creepo?

      The computer is sassy like that.
