What's Your Alternate Fate For Captain James T. Kirk after TOS/TUC?

[Mres_was_framed!]

There is a real contradiction in Scotty seeing Kirk lost in the Nexus in GEN yet in TNG’s “Relics” his first assumption upon being materialized was Kirk has come looking for him.

I used to think it was a contradiction because Brannon Braga even admits they put Scotty in the movie knowing that it was a contradiction, but finally it occurred to me that Scotty probably just didn't believe Kirk was really dead
