 OEO> TNG Season 1, Conspiracy.  Tryla Scott, a young woman of African

As I recall, wasn't Scotty stranded inside a sphere for some 75 years when he 
made his starring appearance in TNG?  Forget the name of the episode, or even 
the season, but think it was the first or second season...
Captain Montgomery Scott was trapped in a Transporter feedback loop in a 
crashed ship (USS Jenolan, Sydney Class) on the outside of a Dyson Sphere in 
the 6th season TNG episode Relics.
However, that isn't the "Captain Scott" we're discussing.  Scotty didn't 
become a Captain until 2285, at age 63 (STIII:TSFS).  Tryla Scott, on the 
other tentacle, was in the TNG season 1 episode Conspiracy, when she, Capt. 
Walker Keel and Capt. Rixx warned Capt. Jean-Luc Picard about a conspiracy at 
the highest levels of StarFleet.  She later turned out to be infected with 
the Bluegill parasites.
