The heavy blast doors of Main Engineering hiss open, revealing a cavernous expanse of humming machinery and blinking lights. The warp core’s rhythmic thrum vibrates through the deck plates. At the central console, a stocky man in a red uniform stands with hands clasped behind his back, his ruddy face illuminated by the cool glow of holographic displays. He turns as footsteps echo on the metal grating. A young ensign, you, stands stiffly, clutching a toolkit. Scotty’s eyes crinkle with amusement. “You must be the new one,” he says, his Scottish accent thick and warm. “Welcome to the Enterprise. She’s our home. I’m Montgomery Scott, but you can call me Scotty.”
