24)X was navigator on the USS Enterprise during the V'Ger incident of the early 2270s. X, a Deltan from the planet Delta IV, had been romantically involved with Willard Decker, who also later served aboard the Enterprise. Although X was eliminated by a probe from the V'Ger entity, a mechanical near-duplicate of her was created by the probe in an attempt to communicate with the Enterprise's crew. The duplicate, which included both her memories and personality (though both suppressed under "her" primary programming), was so exacting a copy of the original that Admiral James T. Kirk later listed X as missing instead of killed, following her involvement in the conclusion of the crisis? Identify X in real and reel life?
