"Greetings, dear reader. Thank you for showing such interest in me, in my program and personality. I am Mirabelle Conrad, adopted daughter of Captain James Conrad, CO of the Lancelot, TFCO of OF TF47, and I am a Hologram."
"I was created over a period of ten years, by Bajoran scientist Kayim Falor, in the image of his deceased fiance, Mirabelle Shepard. Unfortunately, though, I couldn't be what he needed me to be, and we .. Grew apart."
"I still loved him, though. Dearly. I idolised him. And not just because I was programmed, to, either. He created me. Made me into what I am today. And even if he considered me a failure .. He was the only one. I want to be the best and kindest and most patient person that I can be, to honor his memory, and the memory of Mirabelle Shepard."
"But he is gone, now. He died, defending the crew of this ship. He was not well loved by this crew. Atleast, those that knew him. But he was well-respected, and I can only hope that he realised that, in his final hour. We owe him a great debt of gratitude."
"Another person I owe a lot to is Admiral James Conrad. He has become a surrogate father for me, when Falor and I grew apart, eventually to adopt me and become my official father after Falor's death. He has always supported my cause, argued for my rights, and it is because of him that I am now a fully recognised intelligence with full sentience rights under the full extent of the law of the United Federation of Planets."
"The next person I want to speak about is K'palla. She's a Klingon and an engineer. She helped me refine my program and my mobile emitters, it's because of her that I am able to wander the ship, and access the ship's public database. It's also because of her that I have found love. A Klingon Warrior and an Artificial Intelligence. Who would have thought it, hm ? But here we are. And I love her dearly."
"There are still a few small bugs in my program to iron out, and I'll likely never be able to catch them all. As my program develops and evolves, it will become more intricate and more elaborate, and I will learn more and be able to do more, as time passes."
"Does my development have an actual limit ? I don't know."
".. But I want to find out."
