Star Trek 6, TNG "Relics," PIC S3: Scotty!

[Admiral Jean-Luc Picard]

This is about Scotty and the Ent-A, but I'm posting here in the Picard forum, because the Picard show makes this possible.

The Enterprise-A's final mission is portrayed in ST6-TUC. Scotty believes he witnessed Kirk's death later that year on the Ent-B in Generations. Sometime later, Scotty's off to a retirement colony, but the Jenolen goes down. Scotty and a friend survive in the transporter. Decades later, Scotty's rescued by the Ent-D, but his friend perished. By the end of "Relics," Scotty's given a shuttle to push off retirement and have some fun.

Imagine Scotty learns the Ent-A is still preserved after so many decades! Can you imagine Scotty flying his Ent-D shuttle out to the Ent-A, being allowed to park it in the Ent-A shuttlebay, and go exploring? Now that PIC S3 established that the Ent-A is still around by 2401, this is my head canon for what Scotty did after he flew off in his Ent-D shuttle.

Who's with me?

I could see him being more dismissive of the "bloody A". That ship was put together by monkeys.

The novel Crossover has him doing something similar to a classic style Constitution that's a museum ship in the 24th century.

They could just rebuild the NCC-1701 from all the stuff that gone thrown out when it got the refit. The bridge, the nacelles, turbolifts, corridors probably. Shove all that on the New Jersey and BAM! NCC-1701 flies again.
Hey it worked for the Enterprise-D!
And then Scotty could just live on the NCC-1701 with Admiral Bones.

I doubt any of that was saved. The original 1701 Enterprise is gone, but the Enterprise-A was preserved.

No it's still there. I was on duty that night and I helped pack it into the shipping container. It's all on Mars, I think.

Okay, NOW it really is gone!
