21-gun salute and a minute of silence, please.
Captain-Engineer Montgomery Scott, rest in peace.
[Begin military-like obit]
Starfleet Captain-Engineer Montgomery Scott's first love was his first assignment as Chief Engineer, while he was a Lieutenant Commander, aboard USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701). He also served as Chief Engineer on the successor USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-A), and briefly as Captain-Engineer of USS EXCELSIOR (NX-2000, later NCC-2000). Captain Scott was an exceptionally canny engineer, but he was well-known during the latter stages of his career not so much for his engineering skills but for his role in preventing the assassination of the Federation President at Khitomer. He witnessed the launch of the third USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-B). Upon retirement, Captain Scott boarded USS JENOLEN enroute to a retirement colony when JENOLEN encountered the first-known Dyson Sphere and accidentally crashed. Captain Scott ingeniously stored himself in the transporter of JENOLEN, and was rescued seventy-five years later by the crew of the fifth USS ENTERPRISE (NCC-1701-D). Captain Scott later devised a way to rescue the fifth ENTERPRISE from the inside of the Dyson Sphere.
On Stardate 20057.20, Starfleet Captain-Engineer Montgomery Scott passed away peacefully at the age of eighty-five.
