In the mirror universe, Montgomery Scott was a Terran male engineer in the Imperial Starfleet who served as chief engineer aboard the ISS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk in the 2260s.

Biography[]

Career[]

By 2264, Scott served aboard the ISS Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike. (IDW - Mirror Images comic: "Issue 1")

Scott was a harsh taskmaster, as evidenced by the fact that his engineering department had the highest rate of turnover on the Enterprise. (CCG set: Mirror, Mirror)

Aboard the Enterprise[]

Mirror Images[]

In 2264, Scotty was tasked by Commander James T. Kirk with preparing a control panel in his quarters for the installation of a mystery device. Scott remarked that he would have had a much easier time prepping it if he knew what he was going to be installing, to which Kirk replied that Scott would know when it arrived and not one second before. When Scotty asked whether the mystery item was en route, Kirk explained that it was, although getting it off the ISS Buchanan turned out to be more difficult than expected. Kirk further explained he had managed to get it transferred to an Orion trading vessel and that they were due to rendezvous with the Enterprise in three days.

Upon finishing his preparations, Scott instructed Kirk to signal him when the Orions arrived, and he would then arrange to have his parcel beamed over without anyone being the wiser. Kirk then promised Scotty great riches for his service and threatened to punish him if he failed, prompting Scotty to assure Kirk of his loyalty and promising to install the device once it arrived, much to Kirk's delight. (IDW - Mirror Images comic: "Issue 1")

Later, Scotty was present during a meeting held in the briefing room along with the rest of the senior staff, where Captain Pike briefed them in about their upcoming unscheduled stop to meet with an Orion trader. He continued by stating that the meeting, which would go unrecorded, with no log entries, would occur in the Pentalla Nebula and that they were going to trade some of the phaser rifles from the ship's storage in exchange for contraband dilithium. Pike then warned them to not have anymore "accidents" like the exploding shuttlecraft and promised to give them all a cut of the profits if all went smoothly.

Afterwards, Scotty and Kirk discussed how to transfer Kirk's device from the Orion ship. Scotty remarked that, since Sulu was involved, beaming the device was too risky. However, Kirk assured him that he had another way of getting the device past Sulu's watchful eyes.

When Scotty later arrived in Kirk's quarters in order to install the device, he asked him how he managed to get all of it past Sulu, prompting Kirk to simply respond that he had a little help from some friends, as he had employed a ruse in which he had three Orion slave girls conceal the components of the Tantalus field within their clothing and then took the girls to his quarters.

Later on, Scotty was asked by Kirk how his work was progressing, to which Scotty replied that assembling the device was not going to be an easy task, as he not only had to disguise all the power that going to be flowing into it but also had to work with components that he had never even seen before. After assuring Scotty that he would figure it out, Kirk walked out of his quarters. (IDW - Mirror Images comic: "Issue 2")

While sitting together in the mess hall, Kirk was told by Scotty that he could not give him an estimate on how long it would take to install the Tantalus field, much to Kirk's annoyance. Scotty elaborated by stating that he had to reroute the mains in order accommodate the power that the device was pulling from the engines, and do it all under Sulu's nose. Scotty also remarked that he had his own duties to attend to as well, pointing out that he still had to answer to Pike. Kirk insisted that he did not want to hear any excuses and wanted the device to be installed immediately. However, Scotty insisted that it would be done when it was done, which Kirk finally accepted.

Later on, after Kirk had successfully completed his mission on Rashdin VII and had beamed back on board the Enterprise, Scotty approached Kirk in the transporter room and informed him that his device was ready and waiting. Delighted, Kirk decided to go and take a look. (IDW - Mirror Images comic: "Issue 4")

After Pike learned of the Tantalus field, he quickly deduced that Kirk could not have installed something that big by himself, and stated his intention of eliminating and replacing Scotty for helping Kirk. However, Kirk subsequently managed to successfully assassinate Pike and become captain. (IDW - Mirror Images comic: "Issue 5")

The Five-Year Mission[]

In 2264, the Enterprise departed on a five-year mission of exploration and conquest under Kirk's command. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)

In 2267, Scott was accused of the brutal murders of three women on Argelius II. However, Captain Kirk ensured that the charges disappeared almost immediately. (TOS - Star Trek: Mirror Universe novel: The Sorrows of Empire)

As in the primary universe, the murders were presumably committed by Redjac while in control of Scott's body.

Crossover with the primary universe[]

In 2267, Scotty accompanied a landing party consisting of himself, Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, and Lieutenant Uhura to the surface of the planet Halka to demand that the Halkans hand over their dilithium crystals to the Terran Empire. After Kirk uttered the customary threats, the landing party attempted to beam up back to the Enterprise.

However, an extremely volatile ion storm crossed them with their counterparts from the primary universe, beaming them right inside their duplicates' clothes aboard the USS Enterprise in a one-in-a-million transference, which read to Winston Kyle's board as a "wobble" in the power beam of the transporter.

The Spock of that universe noted it was far more difficult for the barbaric mirror universe landing party to behave civilized than it was for the civilized crew to feign barbarity on the other side. Spock initially imprisoned the landing party and later proceeded to place them on the transporter, waiting for when the crew from his landing party reciprocated the action, and beamed themselves back into the places of the duplicates.

After the landing parties returned to their respective universes, the Spock of the primary universe told his Dr. McCoy and Captain Kirk that he found their counterparts to be "brutal, unprincipled, uncivilized, treacherous; in every way splendid examples of Homo sapiens, the very flower of Humanity." (TOS episode & Star Trek 3 novelization: Mirror, Mirror, TOS comic: "Fragile Glass")

Mirror Universe Trilogy[]

Upon returning to his own milieu, the mirror Kirk's paranoia grew, leading him to execute many of his closest subordinates as traitors. Scott was hanged outside Starfleet Command Headquarters in 2267 alongside Leonard McCoy, Janice Rand, Willard Decker, Jabilo M'Benga, David Garrovick and Marlena Moreau, with ghastly photos of the purge proudly displayed by Kirk in his Iowa bunker. (ST - Mirror Universe Trilogy novel: Dark Victory)

Star Trek: Mirror Universe[]

He continued to serve aboard the Enterprise, eventually rising to the position of first officer following Spock's assassination of Kirk only days after the landing party returned from the primary universe. Michael DeSalle succeeded him as chief engineer. Scott was never very happy as executive officer, feeling that he left engineering in less capable hands, often times supervising work in engineering from the bridge. In 2268, he plotted with Leonard McCoy and Nyota Uhura to remove Spock from command. However, he abandoned these plans after he and McCoy saw Uhura disappear with a flash of light, having been disintegrated by the Tantalus field, only moments after announcing that she planned to kill Spock herself.

Scott had expected to supervise the refit of Enterprise in 2270, but was upset to discover that Grand Admiral Matthew Decker had placed his son Willard Decker in charge of the refit. However, he remained on board to assist Decker in the refit. Scott was pleased when Admiral Spock returned to command the Enterprise a year later, after its refit. Scott confided to Spock that he did not trust Decker as captain. When Spock expressed his regrets that he couldn't make Scott executive officer again, Scott said that he didn't really care for the job and that he belonged in engineering. Scott would remain on Enterprise through at least 2287, having served aboard the Enterprise longer and under more captains than anyone else. (TOS - Star Trek: Mirror Universe novel: The Sorrows of Empire)

Through a Glass, Darkly[]

Later career[]

Scotty continued to serve aboard the Enterprise under the command of Captain Spock, who had overthrown and killed Kirk shortly after the Halkan mission and then used the tantalus field to seize power on board the Enterprise. Over the years, Spock would convert the Enterprise crew to Oswaldism, a doctrine inspired by the reformist writings of 20th century Emperor Oswald. By 2285, Scotty and the surviving members of the Kirk-era Enterprise crew had all become committed Oswaldites.

That year, the Enterprise crew battled against T'Pau, the former ruler of Vulcan, and a complement of slavering Gorn for control of the Genesis Weapon, the Empire's top-secret project that had been overseen by Dr. Carol Marcus and her son David at the Imperial research base on Regula I. Although the Enterprise crew managed to win the battle, Spock had been killed by David Marcus, the illegitimate son of Captain Kirk, in revenge for Spock's murder of his father. Sulu subsequently killed David, his mother attacked Sulu and was then slain by Uhura. The schematics for the device died with the Marcuses.

A short time later, McCoy presided over a tearful funeral for Spock, in which Spock's body was placed in a coffin and shot onto the surface of Ceti Alpha V. However, the revivifying energy of the Genesis Effect took the DNA from Spock's body and replicated it, returning Spock back to life. The Enterprise crew braved a combined Klingon-Cardassian assault to rescue him. Alliance forces briefly occupied the Enterprise but were destroyed by an array of booby-traps installed by Scotty.

In 2286, the old Enterprise crew again joined forces to alter the timeline when a gigantic alien probe appeared in orbit around Earth and began to bombard it with extremely damaging sonic radiation. Spock realized that it was beaming a whale song at the planet, as if expecting a reply from one of those extinct marine mammals. The Enterprise subsequently went back in time to 1986 to pick up some whales. When they returned to the 23rd century, the probe and whales interacted. The whales, incited by the probe, grew rapidly into armored leviathans that roamed the tsunami-swept oceans, destroying entire coastal cities. After Spock found a way aboard the probe and shut down its computer core, the creatures, now vulnerable to phaser fire, were destroyed by the Enterprise. However, the whale-beasts' rampage, combined with the loss of power and the sonic damage from the probe, had left much of the planet's industrial capacity in ruins.

By the mid-2290s, the Empire's economic collapse resulted in the fleets of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance quickly cutting their way through demoralized and ill-equipped Starfleet forces. In 2297, before the Alliance's final invasion of Earth, the Enterprise positioned itself in the Rigel system. When the Alliance occupied Rigel, Spock used the power-wand he had gotten from Korob and Sylvia to make his ship invisible and then sent an illusionary Enterprise to join the final battle for Earth. Maneuvering the illusion cleverly, he even managed to crash a Cardassian vessel into the Klingon Emperor's flagship, killing Emperor Kor and many of his top aides. The Enterprise crew then safely decamped. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)

The following scenarios are player-determined

Answer A: Émigré[]

The Enterprise crew fled to the primary universe, as Spock had decided that it was the one hideout where no one in the galaxy would think to seek him. Using the same amplifier technology he had used to alter the power-wand, Scotty created an energy field that connected the two universes just long enough for the Enterprise to fly through it.

After the utter failure of Spock's grand schemes triggered an identity crisis, McCoy egged on Spock by badgering him until he admitted that his actions had been based on Human emotion, not Vulcan logic. When Spock pronounced himself a failure and sank into a deep depression, the other crew members experienced a similar sense of demoralization. As a group, they decided to abandon the Enterprise and seek new lives in the Federation.

Applying the power-wand's technology one last time, Spock and Scotty designed small devices allowing the user to alter their appearance. Each crew member received a single Appearance Scrambler, as Scotty dubbed it. That way, if they discovered that their counterparts were active and well-known, they could adopt new, anonymous faces. The Enterprise traveled through the fringes of Federation space, covertly dropping off crew members at various colonies and starbases. McCoy, Spock, Sulu, Uhura and Scotty were the last to abandon ship. Unable to bear the thought of its destruction, they put up the shields and parked it in continuous orbit around the moon of a planet far from any inhabited worlds. Spock calculated that, barring a surprise asteroid hit, it would remain in good condition for 134 years, 15 days, 6 hours and 19 minutes. They took a long shuttlecraft journey to the nearest Federation base and mournfully parted company, not exchanging forwarding addresses because nobody knew where they would head. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)

Answer B: Romulan Praetor[]

Scotty remained on board the Enterprise after Spock had left Sulu in command and decided to assume the identity of a Tal Shiar operative called Notatek. Spock departed on a shuttlecraft as the ship passed through the Romulan frontier for parts unknown. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)

Answer C: The Vulcan Behind the Curtain[]

Scotty presumably remained on board the Enterprise after Spock changed his identity and lived as a supposed addict named "Shuffles" on Gringus-A1, from where he continued to manipulate events throughout the galaxy. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)

Answer D: Locutus of Borg[]

When the Enterprise attempted to escape into the primary universe, Scotty's device failed and the ship instead ended up in the mirror universe's Delta Quadrant. The Enterprise prospered for a while, spreading Oswaldite ideas to the quadrant's many hostile cultures, until they met the Borg. Although the ship and its crew escaped, Spock was beamed by the Borg onto one of their cubes and was assimilated, an act that changed him and the Borg forever. (Decipher RPG module: Through a Glass, Darkly)

The Mirror Universe Saga[]

By 2285, Scotty maintained his position of chief engineer aboard ISS Enterprise. In this capacity, he participated in an attempted invasion of the counterpart universe. A special energy field was generated by two shuttlecraft and the Enterprise crossed over, attacking Starbase 13 and the USS Excelsior. Scott cursed the tyrannical Kirk under his breath while he operated the apparatus. With the Enterprise damaged in the ensuing intrigue, the mirror crew's senior staff transferred their flag to Excelsior and returned to the mirror universe. Scott was rendered unconscious by Admiral Kirk's senior staff when they retook Excelsior by force, and held in stasis. When Kirk and the Excelsior made their escape from the mirror universe, they left Scott and the others on the shuttlecraft NX-2000/05A, sedated. Upon awakening, the mirror Kirk issued a distress call and the ISS Nogura responded, destroying the shuttle in order to claim the price the Empire had put on Kirk's head. Scott was apparently killed in the blast. (TOS - The Mirror Universe Saga comics: "... Promises to Keep", "Double Image", "The Beginning of the End...")

Three[]

Scott was one of few Terrans to avoid death or slavery when the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance came to power. By 2333, he served on the crew of the Stargazer under Captain Gilaad Ben Zoma. He came up with a plan to kidnap Phigus Simenon from the regular universe, although the plan was unsuccessful. (STA novel: Three)

Hell's Mirror[]

At some point after Spock's betrayal of the empire, Scotty was still serving as the Enterprise's chief engineer. He was killed along with the rest of the crew when the ship was destroyed by Kirk; Kirk had apparently switched to Khan Noonien Singh's cause and was transported to Singh's Bird-of-prey, after which Kirk remotely detonated all the Enterprise's torpedoes. (TOS comic: "Hell's Mirror")
