In Star Trek lore, what ever happens to that lifeform the Enterprise made?

In the episode where the Enterprise stops responding to commands and heads for the pulsar to collect vertiform particles and there's that whole thing with the holodeck and the train headed to vertiform city, etc. The end result was that the Enterprise created a lifeform that flew off into space. Is there any Star Trek lore that explains what became of that lifeform?

98% sure that Picard's was D.

I remember the episode, but I think that was the only time the lifeforms were ever mentioned.
 
I don't think anything happened after that, but it was a pretty lame episode.

Rule of thumb - Any episode that featured Deanna Troi in a more than minor role blows.

That was a lame episode.

Also any episode that featured Deanna Troi's mother blows also.

Any episode featuring Wesley Crusher blows. Also, any episode that begins with Captain Picard leaving in a shuttle craft blows. Any episode based around the Klingon homeworld blows.

Any episode based on the holdeck malfunctiong blows.
 
No. 🙁

After Star Trek Enterprise, I'm hoping they'll start at least one more series that goes a few centuries into the future. A lot of episodes deal with time travel, even the classic series had a few. But it would be cool to see how the future turns out. Then they can do a few followup episodes - and that Enterprise baby could be one of them. Then there is Q's son, Data (or at least his beta counterpart), the Borg Cooperative (voyager series), etc. Would be nice if Spock had a son/daughter... maybe with a Romulan lady. 🙂 Because he was helping convert a Romulan underground back to Vulcan philosophy.

Star Trek: Exodus

The new Exodus class ship, made for extended trips past the known territories.

Well not quite, you are a bit confused, the life form didn't actually exist and fly off into space. It was a holoprogram, that created a version of the enterprise within the holodeck so the people inside thought they had left the holodeck when in fact they hadn't. Once they figured this out the tricked the "life-form" into taking a ship and leaving, when in reality picard put the holoprogram into some sort of storage device and put it on the desk in his ready room.

I remember it too....and yet it is D. It was never mentioned again.....though that one episode was still better that freaking Star Trek: Nemisis.
 
I think that life form used to time travel to inhabite the brain of a american southerner and got him into the white house in the early 21st century.

Follow through with the "Temporal Cold War" theme... 😀
 
WOOT! STAR TREK!

That lifeform went flying off into the distance, travelled back in time, became the crystalline entity and was eventually destroyed, only to be reborn again.

j/k

did he just challenge my trek trivia knowledge? i think he did.

<puts on bi%ch-slapping gloves>

The episode in question is
Star Trek: The Next Generation, episode 175 (season 7. episode 23)
Entitled Emergence
The Enterprise is attempting to create a lifeform which needs vertion particles.


YOU are thinking of

Star Trek: The Next Generation, episode 29 (season 2. episode 3)
Entitled Elementary, Dear Data
Where Geordi creates a holodeck character with the skills to beat "Data" (not Holmes). Moriarty is given knowledge of the Enterprise by the ships computer. Moriarty wants to leave the holodeck and become real. Luckily, Picard is able to convince Moriarty that he does not yet know how to convert artificially created holodeck matter into a more permanent form, and he returns to the computer.

which was followed up by
Star Trek: The Next Generation, episode 138 (season 6. episode 12)
Entitled Ship in a Bottle
Where Moriarty returns and takes control of Enterprise and is tricked into thinking he's given a Shuttlecraft and can leave the Enterprise, while still being in the holodeck

</end bi%ch-slapping>

Sorry, you're wrong, you're confusing the episode with another one where Data's arch-nemesis (holodesk character) tries to get himself out of the holodeck by tricking the crew. Your description is a mix of those two episodes.
