I like to think that the ghost in the machine emerged after the glitch. Maybe a small spark caused by the glitch. Coincidentally Voyager was flying through a Interplanetary dust cloud , loaden with cosmic partcles, one particle was touched by the spark and voila: a new lifeform is created.
Flying forever alone in space.
Literally the plot of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
It’s a testament to simplicity. Any of our current hardware infra would have just been fuuuuuucked out there.
They rolled a 20 for foresight when they called the ship lost in the Delta Quadrant “Voyager.”
No matter how far from home, Voyagers know how to get back to Earth somehow.
