"Back home, we call him 'the miracle worker'."
Montgomery Scott (referred to as Scotty by his shipmates), serial number SE 19754 T, was the chief engineer of both the USS Enterprise and the USS Enterprise-A for a period of nearly thirty years. Having the reputation as a "miracle worker", he was a man of superior technical and engineering skill, experience and ingenuity. Despite his superior talents as an Engineer, he was often the source of comic relief amongst the crew.
Biography[]
Montgomery Scott was born in Scotland on Duyi'zu Earth in 1369 N.E. He spent part of his life in Aberdeen, once referring to himself as an "old Aberdeen pub-crawler."
Upon being asked how he adjusted to space travel, Scott once admitted, "I was practically born to it." He joined the Alliance and began his engineering career in 1388 N.E.. During his 51-year career in the timeline, he served on a total of eleven ships, including various freighters, cruisers and starships. He also briefly served as an engineering adviser on the freight line between the Deneva colony and the outlying asteroid belts.
First Multiverse War[]
Beta Quadrant Conflict[]
Scott was with his commanding officer, James T. Kirk, and his old crewmate, Commander Pavel Chekov, for the maiden voyage of the new Excelsior-class USS Enterprise-B, commanded by John Harriman. When the Enterprise-B responded to the distress call from two El-Aurian transports, Scott assisted in beaming a small group of survivors on board – 47 out of a total of 150. When the Enterprise became trapped in the energy ribbon the transports were in, Scott formulated a theory to use an antimatter discharge to disrupt the ribbon long enough for the vessel to break away. After Captain Kirk modified the deflector relaysto emit a resonance burst, Scott and Hikaru Sulu's daughter Demora were able to get the Enterprise clear. However, a hull breach was created on the secondary hull by the ribbon on the ship's way out and Kirk was presumed to be blown out into space. Upon being asked by Commander Chekov if anyone was in the deflector control room on Deck 15 when it was hit, Scott stared out the breach into space and solemnly stated "Aye".
In (2294), following his later mission on a survey for the Federation, Scott traveled aboard the USS Jenolan to the Norpin colony. The Jenolan, however, encountered a Dyson sphere en route, and while attempting to investigate it, the transport crashed on its surface. Scott and Ensign Matt Franklin were the only survivors. Knowing that they didn't have enough supplies to wait for the ship's distress call to be picked up, Scott rigged the Jenolan's transporter systems, and existed for 75 years in the ship's transporter buffer.
Return[]
In (2369), Montgomery Scott was rescued by the USS Enterprise-D, but due to phase inducer failure, Franklin's pattern was too degraded to be recovered. While finding out out how many decades have passed by and learnt the Federation still exist and achieved a uneasy peace with the Klingons and the Romulans, but the war with the Axis outside his universe is still going on.
