What happened to B4?

[PDX Trek]

Data copied his positronic patterns over B4's and basically did a "Remember". When Picard is leaving B4 after their talk, B4 begins to sing "Blue Skies". I believe that this was intentional as a device to bring Data back, if needed.

So - Geordi and Wesley and Dr. Crusher work hard re-enforcing neural patterns and synaptic pathways, then the Holo-thearpy begins and B4 re-lives Data's recorded life (at high speed of course - android speed.) emerging from the experience as Data.

OR - The Ent-E makes a dash for Sigma Draconis 6, where Crusher puts-on the Teacher and restores Data's positronic patterns as thoght she were kniting - Child's play!

OR - B4 takes a job in the mess as cook and "Morale Officer".

Apparently B4 is trying to get a Star Trek prequel tv series going.

According to the novel Articles of the Federation by Keith RA DeCandido, B-4 was handed over to the Daystrom Institute. There, he was the subject of a legal dispute over whether or not he would be considered a sentient lifeform (and, ergo, free and entitled to certain rights) or a piece of Starfleet property. Ironically, Commander Maddux, who had been a proponent of the view that Data was Starfleet property in "The Measure of A Man," ended up being a proponent of viewing B-4 as a sentient individual and Federation citizen (albeit one incapable of caring for himself). The case was decided in B-4's favor.

Wasn't a more personal anecdote on his deactivation covered in the first chapter of Resistance?

B4 disappeared into a time vortex engineered by the Great Machine.... firstly going ahead in time, then backwards in time, to deliver a base for the Army of Light and an altered Jeffrey Sinclair, who became Minbari not born of Minbari.

There is no B4 in my Trek universe, and no Nemesis either.

B4 said he was going back to his home planet, and died on the way back to his home planet...

He was given to Commander Bruce Maddox.

Wasn't he a Captain by then?

 

[ChristopherPike]

He'll have regained all of Data's personality by the time Star Trek: The Next Next Generation goes into production. He'll be the baton passing guest star, I expect...

I am not expecting any post VOY movies for the forseeable futute, especially if the next movie does well.
