Pup was the name given to an alien computer program by the crew of Deep Space 9 in 2369. It came to the space station from the Gamma Quadrant in a probe. After the crew scanned the probe, "Pup" was downloaded into the station's computer, causing widespread disruptions throughout DS9. Miles O'Brien compared it to a puppy that needed attention and created a "doghouse" for it in a file in the computer, which also included the station's backup files to keep Pup occupied. (DS9 episode: "The Forsaken")

abstract
  • In 2369, the first probe from the Gamma Quadrant arrived at Deep Space 9, and an unusual program was accidentally integrated into the main computer core, along with the rest of the archive material. After a number of system-wide malfunctions, the program was discovered, but all attempts to transmit the program back to the probe failed. It was realized that the program acted like a puppy in that it refused to leave, made the station's computer more obedient, and also craved constant attention, and thus was called "pup." Because the program was considered a lifeform, O'Brien decided the best solution was to store the "pup" in a subprogram, which he referred to as a "doghouse". He then stored the alien program to a secure "pup" file, which contained copies of the station's backup files, and other programs to keep it occupied. (DS9: "The Forsaken") It is not known whether the program was kept permanently in the main computer core, or eventually downloaded into a self-contained unit similar to the one used to contain the Professor Moriarty program seen in TNG: "Ship in a Bottle" .

(DS9 episode: "The Forsaken") Several months later, the crew brought Pup out of the "doghouse" to distract the Tschak entity Enak, which had taken control of the station. (DS9 novel: Valhalla) A science log on "Pup" recorded by Jadzia Dax was transmitted to Starfleet Command on stardate 46934.8. (ST reference: Science Logs) In 2375, Lewis Zimmerman discovered that Pup interfaced with Vic Fontaine's holographic matrix when Julian Bashir installed Vic's program the previous year.
