Olson

Olson was the chief engineer of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) (alternate reality) of an alternate reality in 2258.

During the Enterprises maiden voyage to evacuate the planet, which was under attack by the Romulan mining vessel Narada, Olson was assigned to disable the Naradas drill, along with and. The drill, which was burrowing a hole to Vulcan's planetary core, was preventing transporter use and communications on-board the Enterprise. Olson, Kirk, and Sulu were ordered to orbital dive from a shuttle piloted by, parachute onto the drill platform, and disable it so the Enterprise could begin beaming up the inhabitants of Vulcan. As they boarded the shuttle for departure, Olson remarked that he couldn't wait to "kick some Romulan arse."

The trio commenced with the space-dive, and Kirk and Sulu both pulled their parachutes at a reasonable distance from the drill. Olson, however, was too thrill-seeking for his own good: in his haste to reach the platform, Olson delayed deploying his parachute until he was within one thousand meters of his landing point. Due to his velocity when impacting the platform, Olson was carried across the deck and off the other side. His parachute caught in the drill beam, and Olson had time for one final scream before he was pulled in with it and instantly incinerated. Since Olson was carrying the charges the away team were to use to disable the drill, Kirk and Sulu were forced to do the job with Romulan disruptor rifles. Olson's replacement as chief engineer was.
