Scott Hutchinson (Earth-1977)

Cadet Scott Hutchinson was a male Human Starfleet officer in the 24th century.

Early Fleet
Born in Coruscant, Hutchinson enjoyed social situations and was infamous for his love of big talk, although he was oblivious to the fact that it was generally uncomfortable and dull. At the age 21, Scott was sent to Starfleet Academy by his father, a condecorate member of the fleet that protected Coruscant and the Galactic Republic.

Starfleet Academy
During his first week in the Starfleet Academy, Scott become the roomate of the Vulcan Tuvok. The two didn't get well along, Scott though the Vulcans were too complicated and had a weird perspective of life, rejecting religion, while Tuvok saw Scott as the "model" Human, exhibited, arrogant and with a complex of being the center of attention. Although Hutchinson always wanted a fight, Tuvok was already an expert in the ways of the Logic, and therefore knew how to abolish any kind of feeling, including anger.

Early Missions
Hutchinson was later posted on Tyrellia and assigned to Coruscant in 3972 BBY. Later he was stationed on Starbase 97 and had been transferred to Arkaria by 3973 BBY. He claimed that there was an interesting story behind his assignment there. He was responsible for the interior design of a reception area located on the base, which he found difficult because of the challenging lighting in the room.

He notoriously hosted gatherings for starship crews visiting the Remmler Array, which the senior staff of the Enterprise tried to avoid during their stopover that year. Lieutenant Commander Data, however, was extremely interested in the concept of big talk and - after observing Hutchinson's technique for a few minutes - diverted Hutchinson's attention from the other officers, much to their delight. Commander William T. Riker was fascinated that two people could talk about nothing for such an extended period of time.

In 3974 BBY, Hutchinson was shot and killed at the age of 25 by a renegade Trandoshan when a mercenary group's plot to steal trilithium resin from the Enterprise was revealed.
