[1]===Gender:===
Male

"*You are Montgomery Scott!*"
"*Aye, that's me, you're in the right place unless there's another hard-working, equally starved Starfleet officer around.*"

– **Spock** and **Montgomery Scott**, 2258 (*Star Trek*)

**Montgomery "Scotty" Scott** was a Human Starfleet officer serving in the 23rd century. He was recruited by James T. Kirk to replace Olson as chief engineer of the USS *Enterprise* before the Battle of Earth in 2258. Scott was a speaker of the Scots language.

## Early life Edit

Scott was born in 2222 in Scotland. (TNG: "Relics")

*This predates Nero's arrival in 2233 and does not differ from the prime timeline.*

## Starfleet career Edit

Scotty eventually joined Starfleet and, sometime during his tenure, he engaged in a debate with his instructor on the issue of relativistic physics and how it pertains to subspace travel. The professor was of the opinion that the range of a transporter was limited to a few hundred kilometers; Scotty felt that he could beam a lifeform from one planet to the next within a star system. His theory, however, had never been tested. As he was experimenting with his theory of transwarp beaming, he used Admiral Archer's prized beagle as a test subject, but was unable to locate the dog afterwards.

*According to his dossier at the official*Star Trek*movie website, Scotty was the former Academy aide for Admiral Jonathan Archer's Advanced Relativistic Mechanics course and first in his class at Starfleet Academy, but his status was later revoked due to disciplinary action.*
[2]Scott exiled to Delta Vega
Scott was sent to a Federation outpost on Delta Vega with his colleague, Keenser, in late 2257, six months before the destruction of Vulcan. He believed his blunder with Archer's dog was the real reason for his ending up there.

In 2258, Keenser brought him two visitors, James T. Kirk and Spock, who Scotty believed were sent by Starfleet to supply him with food.

*In the script of*Star Trek*, Scott talked more about food than he does in the final version of the film. At one point, he asked Spock if there was "piece and jam," mince and "tatties", or cockaleekie soup in the future time period Spock had come from. Later, Scott supposed that the new USS*Enterprise*must have "a decent cafeteria."*[1]

Spock helped Scott fix this transport problem by giving him the finished version of the governing equation "his" Scotty – a longtime friend from his own future timeline – had completed in the future. The final detail Scott needed was to construct the equations from the perspective that outer space itself, not the ships, was moving. Using the new calculations, Kirk and Scott were able to beam aboard the *Enterprise* while it was moving at warp.

### Chief engineer of the USS *Enterprise* Edit

#### Stopping NeroEdit

[3]Scotty operating the *Enterprise*transporter controls
Despite his technical knowledge and engineering specialty, Scotty suffered an initial run of bad luck when it came to transporter targets. When beaming himself and Kirk to the *Enterprise* he ended up in a water conduit in engineering labeled "Inert Reactant", nearly drowning before Kirk was able to evacuate him through an emergency hatch. The first time he used the *Enterprise* transporter, he aimed for the cargo bay of the *Narada* where he believed Kirk and Spock would be able to materialize unobserved; the area turned out to be filled with Romulans. His second use of the *Enterprise* transporter, however, was a tremendous technical success: he beamed three people from two different locations onto one pad, something he had never done before.

After Spock's ship, the *Jellyfish*, was destroyed, the *Enterprise* began to be sucked into the black hole created by the simultaneous detonation of its entire store of red matter. However, Scotty was able to eject and detonate the ship's warp core, creating a large enough shock wave that the *Enterprise* could ride to safety. With Olson, the ship's original chief engineer, having been killed in action, and his benefactor Kirk in command, Scott eventually assumed the position of chief engineer aboard the *Enterprise*, bringing Keenser along with him. (*Star Trek*)

#### Nibiru Edit

[4]Scotty expressing concern over the *Enterprise'*s orders to terminate John Harrison
A year later, Scotty protested Kirk's decision to park the *Enterprise* underwater during a mission on Nibiru. When they returned to Earth, he was upset to learn that the transwarp beaming formula, which had been confiscated, was used by the traitor John Harrison to flee to Qo'noS.

#### Going after John Harrison Edit

However, he also objected to the 72 experimental photon torpedoes given to execute Harrison from orbit, as he was not allowed to examine them, and was also angered they were setting off to Qo'noS without adequate time to fix the new warp core. Kirk granted Scotty's permission for a leave of absence, and Keenser left with him.

Later, while dining at a bar in San Francisco, Scotty and Keenser were called by Kirk to investigate coordinates given to them by Harrison. Scotty took a shuttle to investigate, and found a spacedock outside Jupiter. Blending in with an approaching convoy, Scotty entered the spacedock and could only swear in awe as he saw the enormous *Dreadnought*-class USS *Vengeance*.
[5]Scotty secretly aboard the *Vengeance*
Scott boarded the ship, and deactivated its weaponry when Admiral Alexander Marcusordered an attack on the *Enterprise*. Scotty contacted Kirk, who ordered him to go to the cargo bay and open an airlock for him to space dive to. Scotty did so, ignoring that he was tiring himself out, and found a console to tie himself to so he could open the airlock without being sucked into the vacuum of space. A particularly dense security officer showed himself and demanded to know who Scotty was, but his repetitive questions bought time for him to open the airlock when Kirk arrived in a thruster suit: Scotty apologized before blowing the guard out the airlock.

Kirk was accompanied by Harrison, who had revealed he was actually Khan Noonien Singh. His super strength made their takeover of the ship relatively easy. Scotty demanded to know who, or more accurately what, Khan was, but Kirk only responded he did not fully trust him and advised him to shoot to stun him later. When they entered the bridge and knocked out the officers there, Scotty did as Kirk asked. However, it proved ineffective as Khan responded by tackling him, pummeling Kirk, broke Marcus's daughter's leg and proceeded to kill Admiral Marcus. Khan took the command chairand demanded acting captain Spock hand over the torpedoes or he would resume attacking the *Enterprise*. After Spock fulfilled his request, Khan beamed Scotty, Kirk, and Carol Marcus into the brig, but resumed attacking anyway.
[6]Scotty mourns the (temporary) death of Kirk
Scotty followed Kirk through the corridors of the ship, where artificial gravity was failing rapidly. They reached the warp core, but he warned the captain that radiation was leaking inside: Kirk ignored him and knocked him out, strapping him in a chair while he went inside to restore power to the engines and prevent the ship from crashing. When Scotty awoke, he asked acting captain Spock to come down, and he wept with Uhura when she arrived and witnessed Kirk slowly succumb to radiation poisoning. Fortunately, McCoy realized Khan's genetically-enhanced blood could save Kirk, so Spock and Uhura apprehended him and brought him to perform a blood transfusion.

## The five-year missionEdit

[7]Ready for a long voyage
Almost a year later, Scotty attended a memorial service in San Francisco for the lives lost because of Khan and Admiral Marcus, presided over by a perfectly healthy Kirk. He resumed service aboard the refit *Enterprise* as it began a five-year mission, and was pleased to report the warp core was "*purring like a kitten*" and ready for a long journey. (*Star Trek Into Darkness*)

Nearly three years into the five-year mission, Scott was aboard the *Enterprise* during a diplomatic mission to the planet Teenax - quickly beaming Captain Kirk (and two angry Teenaxi) back aboard when that diplomacy failed.

In 2263, the *Enterprise* docked for resupply at the Federation Starbase Yorktown - a feat of engineering that Scotty admired.

### AltamidEdit

[8]"They're gone, sir!"
Soon after the *Enterprise* was attacked by forces under the control of Krall which disabled the ship. Working below to stabilize the *Enterprise*, Scott and Keenser attempted to restore power to the impulse drive by manually feeding it from the warp core. Nevertheless, the *Enterprise* was overrun by Swarm drones and Scott was forced to abandon ship by firing himself inside an advanced long-range torpedo into the atmosphere of the nearby planet Altamid. After violently crashing on the surface, Scotty barely managed to leave his torpedo before it dropped off a cliff, leaving him hanging over a precipice.
[9]Scotty using an oxygen mask to escape inside a torpedo.
Later finding the remains of the torpedo, Scotty was confronted by three alien marauders but was defended by Jaylah. Jaylah promised to help Scotty (calling him "Montgomery Scotty") find his fellow crew mates stranded on Altamid in exchange for help in repairing her "house" - in reality the remains of the 22nd century Starfleet vessel *Franklin*.
[10]Jaylah takes Scotty to her "house".

### Jaylah's houseEdit

Recognizing the *Franklin* from Starfleet history, Scotty helped Jaylah repair the ship. He was soon met by Captain Kirk and Ensign Chekov and used the *Franklin'*s cargo transporter to rescue Spock and Dr. McCoy from an encounter with three Swarm ships. Together with Jaylah, Scotty and his fellow Starfleet officers formulated a plan to rescue the rest of the *Enterprise* crew from the clutches of Krall.

Beaming the crew aboard, Scotty then reluctantly agreed to help fly the *Franklin* off the surface of Altamid in order to stop Krall from attacking Yorktown.

Pursuing Krall to the Federation starbase aboard the *Franklin*, Scotty noted that the *Franklin's* weaponry were insufficient to combat the Swarm. Once Spock and McCoy hijacked a Swarm ship and confirmed the drones possessed a cyberpathic link, the crew began brainstorming ideas to disorient the Swarm, before Scotty came up with an idea to use the *Franklin's* musical archives to broadcast VHF radio signals that allowed them to destroy the Swarm. Though the Swarm was destroyed, Krall managed to penetrate Yorktown, forcing the *Franklin* to intercept him. Kirk and Uhura soon uncover Krall's identity as the *Franklin'*s former captain, Balthazar Edison and had Scotty pull up his last log detailing Krall's motives. Scotty and Jaylah then moved to Yorktown Headquarters to stop Krall from unleashing the Abronathsuper weapon and killing the station's inhabitants. When Krall placed the Abronath into Yorktown's atmospheric processor, Scotty instructed Kirk on how to flush Krall and the weapon into space, saving Yorktown.

### *Enterprise*-AEdit

Following the defeat of Krall, Scotty and the crew of the late-USS *Enterprise* gathered in Yorktown to celebrate the birthday of Captain Kirk. There Scotty presented Jaylah with an acceptance letter to Starfleet Academy and looked out with his shipmates as construction continued on their next assignment: the USS *Enterprise*-A. (*Star Trek Beyond*)

## RelationshipsEdit

### Friendships Edit

#### James T. Kirk Edit

*Scotty actor Simon Pegg once speculated, "*Scotty's [...] always felt that he's had Kirk's ear, because he knows and trusts him, and that Kirk trusts him back. It's been fun to play that dichotomy between a professional and personal relationship.*" (*Star Trek Magazine Movie Special 2016*, p. 76)*
[11]Kirk and Scott are confronted by Spock on the bridge of the *Enterprise*
Kirk and Scotty first met on Delta Vega when Kirk and Spock Prime went to the base he was stationed at for help using Scotty's transwarp beaming to return to the USS *Enterprise*. Scotty was skeptical of their story but treated both Kirk and Spock Prime with kindness. After Spock Prime completed Scotty's transwarp beaming equation, Scotty beamed to the *Enterprise* with Kirk. Unfortunately for him, Scott materialized in the *Enterprise'*s water tank. Kirk promptly saved his life by opening up the emergency hatch, which freed Scott. Later, during the confrontation between Kirk and Spock on the bridge, Scott was torn between conflicting orders from Kirk and Spock and chose not to take sides in the conflict. After Kirk became acting captain, he appointed Scott as chief engineer after the death of the *Enterprise**s original chief, Olson. Scott was one of the few people to accept Kirk's assuming command without resentment. While battling and chasing Nero to Earth, Scott beamed Kirk and Spock aboard the*****Narada*after the*Enterprise*dropped out of warp near one of Saturn's moons, Titan. Near the conclusion of subsequent battle, Scott managed to beam back Kirk, Spock, and the*Enterprise**s commanding officer, Christopher Pike. Following Kirk's promotion to the rank of captain, Scott signed on as chief engineer of the *Enterprise* under Kirk's permanent command. (*Star Trek*)
[12]Scott confronts Kirk over the *Enterprise'*s use of advanced long-range torpedoes
A year later in 2259, during the *Enterprise'*s covert mission on Nibiru, Scott complained to Kirk about how ridiculous it was to have the *Enterprise* underwater and later advised Kirk against maneuvering the *Enterprise* near an active volcano to rescue Spock, warning the captain that he did not think the ship could take that kind of heat. Later, after an attack on Starfleet Headquarters, Scott showed Kirk the portable transwarp beaming device "alternate reality" used to escape to Qo'noS. Later on the *Enterprise*, Scott refused to betray his own beliefs by using the advanced long-range torpedos on John Harrison and resigned as chief engineer rather than comply with Kirk's orders, something Kirk reluctantly accepted. Before leaving, Scott warned Kirk, "*Jim, for the love of God, don't use those torpedoes.*" Despite this, Kirk was able to convince Scott through a communicator to check out a series of coordinates provided by Khan to prove his claims. During the conflict that followed, Scott worked with Kirk and Khan to take control of the *Dreadnought*-class USS *Vengeance* and once more resumed following his friend's orders. When someone needed to sacrifice themselves to realign the severely damaged warp core, Kirk knocked out Scott rather than allow him to sacrifice his life. When Kirk died, Scott, along with Nyota Uhura, bore witness and was noticeably upset by his death. Following Kirk's resurrection and the repair of the *Enterprise*, Scott once more resumed his duties as chief engineer under Kirk for the vessel's five-year mission. (*Star Trek Into Darkness*)
[13]Scott finds Kirk and Chekov after the destruction of the *Enterprise*
In the years following, Scott and Kirk remained close friends. After the *Enterprise'*s destruction on Altamid, Scott came across Kirk and Chekov after they became caught in Jaylah's trap. Scott explained to Jaylah that Kirk and Chekov were his friends. Later on, Scott provided his engineering expertise to repairing the dilapidated USS *Franklin* and using its old transporters to free the *Enterprise* crew from Krall's base and later saved Kirk and Jaylah's lives by beaming them back in midair before they fell to their deaths. Kirk ordered Scott to make the *Franklin* fly again so they could intercept Krall and the swarm ships on their way to attack Starbase Yorktown. Later, Scott attended Kirk's thirteth birthday party after Krall's defeat and handed Kirk a drink to make a toast with. He would later choose to join Kirk and the rest of the crew on the new USS *Enterprise*-A when it was completed at Starbase Yorktown. (*Star Trek Beyond*)

#### Jaylah Edit

"*I am Jaylah. And you are Montgomery Scott."
"Aye – Scotty."
"Come now, Montgomery Scotty.*"

– **Jaylah** and **Montgomery Scott**, 2263 (*Star Trek Beyond*)
[14]Scott meets Jaylah on Altamid
Scott met the alien scavenger Jaylah after the torpedo he escaped the doomed *Enterprise*from crashed on Altamid. When Scott located the wreckage of the torpedo after it went over a cliff edge, he began looking for his communicator, but it was destroyed. Scott then encountered three aliens, Fi'Ja, Zavanko, and Hider, who were about to attack him when Jaylah intervened, using holographic copies of herself to fend off the alien attackers. She explained to Scott that the aliens who tried to attack and steal from him had "*fallen from the sky*" like he and she had. She told Scott that someone named "Krall" was responsible for the *Enterprise'*s destruction and was searching the stars for a "death machine". Salvaging anything she could find from the innards of the torpedo, Jaylah urged Scott to follow her but he insisted on finding his crewmates first. Jaylah told Scott if he helped her fix something, due to his being in the engineering division in Starfleet, she would help him find his fellow *Enterprise* officers. Scott agreed and followed her.

Jaylah led Scott to her "house" on Altamid – actually, the long lost Federation starship, the USS *Franklin*. Scott helped Jaylah repair the *Franklin* and discovered she liked to listen to old music from Earth in the *Franklin'*s database, specifically, Public Enemy's "Fight the Power", which he told her he found "loud and distracting". Upon coming across Captain Kirk and Ensign Chekov and later rescuing Doctor McCoy and Commander Spock, Scott and his fellow officers began to formulate a plan to free their captured crew mates from a base operated by Krall. Jaylah objected, saying that their crewmates would die there, just like her family had. Scott tried to get her to help them, saying that if she knew the way in, she would surely know the way out. "*No! This is*not*the deal we made, Montgomery Scotty!*", she told him. She left the bridge of the *Franklin*, telling the *Enterprise* crew if they chose to rescue their friends, they would do so on their own. Following her outside the *Franklin*, Scott told her the crew needed her knowledge of Krall's base and for her to be brave. Jaylah told Scott the story of how her father had fought Manas, Krall's henchman, so she could escape and was killed. Scott managed to convince her to help the *Enterprise* crew by telling her that she was now a part of something bigger now, and to not give up on them, as they would not give up on her.

After the successful rescue of the *Enterprise* crew, Scott and Jaylah's repairs to the dilapidated *Franklin* allowed it to escape Altamid and the vessel headed for Starbase Yorktown to confront Krall and his enormous fleet of swarm ships. Spock determined that in order to defeat the swarm, they would need to disrupt their unified cyberpathic coordination. Jaylah and Scott used her radio on the *Franklin* to blast the Beastie Boys song "Sabotage" on the swarm's frequency, which ended up completely destroying it. Later, Jaylah and Scott assisted Kirk in defeating Krall by shutting down Yorktown's atmospheric processor so Krall would not be able to use the Abronath to kill Yorktown's population.
[15]Scott and Kirk tell Jaylah she has been accepted into Starfleet Academy
A short time after Krall's defeat, Jaylah attended Kirk's surprise birthday party on Yorktown. Scott expressed his surprise in Jaylah finishing multiple alcoholic beverages to try to "take her edge off", which ultimately had no effect on her. Scott then announced to Jaylah that Kirk had pulled a few strings and had gotten her accepted into Starfleet Academy. Scott and Jaylah looked at the acceptance letter together. (*Star Trek Beyond*)

## AppendicesEdit

### AppearancesEdit

This list contains 3 items ([[]] • [[]])\**Star Trek* films: ([[]])

* + *Star Trek* (first appearance)
	+ *Star Trek Into Darkness*
	+ *Star Trek Beyond*

### Background information Edit

[17]Simon Pegg with *Star Trek Beyond* Director Justin Lin
Scott was played by Simon Pegg.

Roberto Orci stated Scotty's backstory, like Spock's, was intended to overlap with events in the prime reality, unlike Kirk, whose life is altered from the day he is born. [2]

Simon Pegg modeled his Scottish accent on a Glaswegian accent spoken by his wife and her family. Pegg concocted a backstory for Scotty on his MySpace page to reconcile his performance's accent with the traditional belief Scotty was born in Aberdeen or Linlithgow. [3](X)

Pegg's father-in-law found his accent awful, so Pegg resolved to improve it in the sequel. He also wanted Scotty's lines of dialogue to include more Scottish phrases like "cludgie" (toilet), but Abrams felt the audience needed to understand Scotty. [4]

Scotty wears the stripes of a lieutenant commander on his sleeve in both *Star Trek* and *Star Trek Into Darkness*, but shoulder pins on his dress uniform at the end of *Into Darkness* indicate a rank of lieutenant.

Simon Pegg once cited Scotty as the character who, out of all the main characters, changes the least during the course of the films *Star Trek*, *Star Trek Into Darkness*, and *Star Trek Beyond*. Pegg also speculated this was "*because he's been in his element, he's been in the engine room, tweaking the*Enterprise*. Scotty's as pragmatic and cantankerous as ever, but he secretly loves the opportunity to test the ship, and be present at this point in its evolution. His inter-personal dynamics with everybody have evolved [....] I don't think Scotty's ever felt uncomfortable about speaking his mind.*" (*Star Trek Magazine Movie Special 2016*, p. 76)

In *Star Trek Beyond*, Simon Pegg, in his role as co-writer of that film, contributed to the writing of Scotty. "*I found that I tended to be the one writing Scotty's dialogue, just because I know the character very well [....] I felt kind of weird, because I thought, 'It's going to be strange writing Scotty, and putting him in it a lot,' because I didn't want to seem like I was writing myself a role,*" Pegg remembered. "*So I deferred to Doug [Jung, Pegg's co-writer] in terms of how much Scotty should be in it, or what his role should be, a lot of the time [....] I felt like I would be doing the script a disservice if I hijacked the best lines.*" (*Star Trek Magazine Movie Special 2016*, p. 74)

With the addition of his appearance in *Star Trek Beyond*, Simon Pegg has intermittently been playing the character of Montgomery Scott for twice as long as James Doohan played the prime version of the character in *Star Trek: The Original Series*. "*I do feel I know him, certainly, and I love playing him,*" stated Pegg. "*He's a great character to play, and it's been really nice to be given the chance to put my own spin on that. I always defer to James Doohan, just because he was there first. I've inherited this character from him, and it's always been important to me that I'm aware of that [....] But yeah, I do feel less of a guest actor in that part now, and more that it's mine [....] I'd love to [play Scotty again]. It would be great. I'd love to carry on and be as old and overweight as everyone else was.*" (*Star Trek Magazine Movie Special 2016*, p. 76)

In the virtual collectible card battle game *Star Trek: Rivals*, Scotty is pictured on card #53, Outpost Engineer M. Scott; card #80, Lieutenant Commander M. Scott; and card #97, Chief Engineer M. Scott.

### Apocrypha Edit

The nineteenth issue of the IDW comics series *Star Trek: Ongoing* reveals Scotty's full name to be "Montgomery Christopher Jorgensen Scott".
[18]His female counterpart
He has a female counterpart in "Parallel Lives, Part 1", an issue of *Star Trek: Ongoing*.

In the novelization of the film *Star Trek*, Scott, shortly after his arrival aboard the *Enterprise*, took offense at Uhura calling him a "vagrant." Kirk responded by describing him as "*Montgomery Scott, an experienced Starfleet engineer of unexpected mental and technical gifts, if possibly dubious character.*" Scott, moments later, revealed that his "friends" knew him as "Scotty".

The 2013 *Star Trek* video game features several commentaries by Scott about the various items players scan with their tricorders. Among the various anecdotes he relates is a time when, as a child, he had to wear a medical device for a prolonged period to determine the cause of headaches he had been having, only to be teased mercilessly about it. He particularly dislikes being asked to give his opinion on torturous Gorn weaponry or lifeforms.

In the first issue of IDW's *Star Trek: Boldly Go* comic series that is set after the events of *Star Trek Beyond*, Scotty returns to Earth and Scotty begins to teach at Starfleet Academy in which Jaylah appears to be in one of his classes.
