In STTMP, Captain Decker and his Deltan lover, Ilia, did a total-meld with
V'ger which then went on to expore other dimensions, etc.  Perhaps they
will drop in from time to time, or say "hi" to the Star Child (Dave Bowman).

The synthesis sequence in the movie ends with no sign of V'ger, and Earth
and the Enterprise intact.  I presume that V'ger is now an ephemeral sort
of critter, along the lines of an Organian.

Now, an interesting idea for ST-IV would be for V'ger to pay a return visit
and help Kirk with his Federation Troubles.

A recent leak about ST-IV suggests a story like MUDD I, which would be just
fine by me if well done.
