Biography[]

On-board Drax's Space Station, James Bond and Dr. Holly Goodhead manage to disable the station's radar jamming system; leading to the unauthorized space structure becoming visible to both the Americans and Soviets for the first time. Colonel Scott speaks with General Gogol on the phone, confirming the space station is not of Russian origin. While Gogol denies any involvement, he also warns Scott to deal with this problem pronto. If Drax was not confronted within a 12-hour timeframe, the USSR would deploy their own unit to take on Drax, but consider the US ultimately responsible. The United States dispatches a platoon of Marines in a space shuttle, which blasts off from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Colonel Scott was the commanding officer of the group and leads his men in their attempt to storm the station. After a sustained firefight with Drax's armed forces around and inside the station, it begins to lose structural stability and violently falls apart. Their mission accomplished, the Marines and Colonel Scott retreat back to the relative safety of the shuttle and depart.
