Who is the Enterprise security chief?
- Thread starter Yevetha
- Start date
It'll probably be Uhura in the next movie.
Perhaps cupcake will fill the role of red shirt dying in the next. Following in the footsteps of Olsen.
Hehehe.

If you prefer to type it manually I'd still ask you to give proper attribution and linkback because, speaking as someone who's supposed to read everything posted in this forum, I find it a chore to have to scroll back up the thread (and sometimes back a page or more) and do word searches to figure out who is being responding to.

TOS never had an ongoing Security Chief character. Perhaps the movie takes its cue from the original, here.
As long as it's not Chekov!
(incidentally, the early script and novelization have him as weapons officer. Huh? "Weapons sytems and shields on standby"??)

Chekov was never involved with security on TOS. That came with the movies.
I think the security chief should be a new character. I'd favour an alien woman just because we don't have much of either. I went for an andorian woman in my fan story based on Suzie Plakson's andorian from Enterprise.
Rand and Colt were not commissioned officers so while they might be deputies if they are petty officers, traditionally a lieutenant or lt-commander was in charge. That is not to say that the butterfly effect could not lead to them being a more senior rank. Rand has appeared in the ongoing comic as a yeoman so she's off the list. It is worth noting though that in the ongoing comic the characters who were yeomen in TOS are certainly acting more like security guards now. I certainly hope that Rand gets to do something in the new movie.

IIRC, explaining that Chekov was off getting retraining in Security dates as far back as his character's absence in TAS, and Koenig being fitted for a red uniform for "Phase II".
She was only 17 at the time and she was addressed as Yeoman.
In the tie in comics, Rand is a Yeoman and her job is...I don't know what the hell her job is. She's only been in three so far, and it's quite unclear what she does, but Spock did refer to her as Yeoman Rand.
Memory Alpha's entry gives her rank as Lieutenant and mentions a second draft script that gives her age as 20.
Also, some fans feel he was working security at the time of Space Seed to accound for why Khan recognized him.
