In the original timeline, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott was beholden to his true love the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Scotty, his friends knew him, cared for the Enterprise engines as if they were his babies. Though he was almost as devoted to his next ship, the NCC-1701-A, the origiginal Enterprise always held a special place in his heart. Following his proud StarFleet career, Scotty was en route on the Norpin Colony when an encounter with a Dyson Sphere threatened his life. Scotty managed to save himself by suspending his pattern in a transporter beam. The crew of the Enterprise-D discovered him 75 years later, when Scotty went on to continue his retirement in a new era.
