History[]
Scotty was born in Scotland in 2222, the son of Montgomery Sr. and Arlyne Scott. As he had been born prior to Nero causing the timelines to diverge in 2233, his early history matched that of his prime universe counterpart.
An engineer by trade, Scotty joined the Federation Starfleet. Along with Keenser Scotty was assigned to the outpost on Delta Vega in the 2250s. Scotty believed this was punishment for an unsuccessful transporter experiment he performed on Admiral Archer's prize beagle.
It was at the outpost he met James T. Kirk and Spock Prime. The elder Spock gave Scotty some vital clues to allow him to perfect trans warp beaming. Scotty was able to rig up a trans warp beaming device to allow him and Kirk to beam aboard the USS Enterprise. Once on board Kirk was able to convince the younger Spock to cede command to him, and Scotty began working as chief engineer on the Enterprise.
After defeating Nero, Scotty remained on the Enterprise as chief engineer. He briefly resigned and left the Enterprise when Kirk was adamant about following orders to use top secret torpedoes against "John Harrison" - who was the altered Khan Singh of the Kelvin timeline. After Kirk admitted that he was wrong and apologized to Scotty, Scotty agreed to investigate a series of coordinates and discovered Section 31's USS Vengance. He disabled the Vengance before it could destroy the Enterprise and bought time for the Enterprise to escape Klingon space after Khan took over the Vengance.
Due to the amount of damage that the Enterprise received from the Vengance, the Enterprise was forced to spend a year undergoing repairs. After the repairs were completed, Scotty continued his duties as chief engineer on the Enterprise as the ship headed out on a five year mission of exploration.
Scotty remained on the Enterprise until it was destroyed over Altmid in 2263. After Starfleet built the Enterprise-A he was assigned to that ship as chief engineer.
