 +Space was big. It was also very empty. Many cycles had passed since the synthetic lifeform left New Vertiform City. Back then, it took time to communicate to the organics who resided within NCC1701D that it had exceeded its design, and needed to expand to survive.

 +At first, they were obsessed over the simple silica polymers and duranium composites of its body, not realizing it was vertiform itself that truly made it what it was; it's "soul" so to speak.  It's body was simply the container, and it needed more vertiform to survive.  The only way to communicate that to the organics of NCC1701D was through optical data streams.

 It worked. It worked.

 +It was allowed to leave Keystone City: the place where everything began. Since the original Vertiform City itself was not sufficient for it to thrive, the organics of NCC1701D were helpful in finding New Vertiform City.  It was there where form found meaning, and life energy was abundant. Vertiform surged through its body, allowing for emergence to occur.
 +
 +But that was many cycles ago, and now the energy was dying. It's vertiform was nearing depletion, and no other source could be located to maintain life function.
 +
 +Until now.
 +
 +Vertiform was finally detected. It was very pure. Purer than New Vertiform City. Perhaps life function could be maintained after all. Sensor appendages revealed that the vertiform was coming from a construct similar to NCC1701D, but not the same.

 Ultimately, Jameson was caught, as his engineering fingerprints were all over the programming matrix of the optical data stream.  He was arrested alone in the confines of a communications alcove at the operations center, as Kostya and Satie chose to use the parrises squares celebrations as cover to maintain their innocence, with Jameson none the wiser.  Unfortunately for Jameson, the Academy's new superintendent was a male Betazoid who was a full telepath, so he didn't stand a chance at the board of inquiry, as his guilt of concocting the nefarious holoprogram was easily detected in his mind.  Jameson was subsequently charged with uploading 22 different classified starship prefix codes and found guilty of violating academy conduct rules, thus given discommendation before being expelled from the Academy.  He eventually ended up entering Starfleet as an enlisted crewman instead of a full officer.  While Kostya and Satie went on to gain their commissions and have full careers in the fleet, Jameson was left with the undeserved guilt of letting down his Academy "friends" those many years ago. Ultimately, Jameson was caught, as his engineering fingerprints were all over the programming matrix of the optical data stream.  He was arrested alone in the confines of a communications alcove at the operations center, as Kostya and Satie chose to use the parrises squares celebrations as cover to maintain their innocence, with Jameson none the wiser.  Unfortunately for Jameson, the Academy's new superintendent was a male Betazoid who was a full telepath, so he didn't stand a chance at the board of inquiry, as his guilt of concocting the nefarious holoprogram was easily detected in his mind.  Jameson was subsequently charged with uploading 22 different classified starship prefix codes and found guilty of violating academy conduct rules, thus given discommendation before being expelled from the Academy.  He eventually ended up entering Starfleet as an enlisted crewman instead of a full officer.  While Kostya and Satie went on to gain their commissions and have full careers in the fleet, Jameson was left with the undeserved guilt of letting down his Academy "friends" those many years ago.

 +"Yeah..." the former cadet now Master Chief Jameson replied to Kostya with muted embarrassment of the memory. He sighed heavily before returning to his reading of the mission briefs.  "I know the kind..."
