Star Trek: The Next Generation B-Plot Idea

One of Data's new Holodeck poker opponents describes in detail how he knows that he is a fictional re-creation, not the real historical figure, and that was dreamed into existence by technology. Knowing the Holodeck shouldn't allow this, and Data and La Forge must work to uncover the flaw in the computer's safety protocols and prevent further containment breaches.

Troi realizes that there was no real containment breach, but that Data has been playing poker with acclaimed Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges and he just talks like that.

Explanation: What's causing a huge jet to emanate from the center of galaxy M87? Although the unusual jet was first noticed early in the twentieth century, the exact cause is still debated. The above recently released picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows clear details, however. The most popular hypothesis holds that the jet is created by energetic gas swirling around a massive black hole at the galaxy's center. The result is a 5000 light-year long blowtorch where electrons are ejected outward at near light-speed, emitting eerily blue light during a magnetic spiral. M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy residing only 50 million light-years away in the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The faint dots of light surrounding M87's center are large ancient globular clusters of stars.
