Biography
In the year 2268, Ferriter was part of the scientific contingent who beamed down to conduct a survey of Octavius IV, along with Commander Spock, Ensign Selena Karras, Ellis, Margolis, and Owens. Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu took Ferriter, Ellis, and Margolis with him to explore a green ridge not far from the beam-down point. They returned to find evidence of a cave-in. Ferriter scanned the area with his tricorder and couldn't find the other landing party members, but material in some areas blocked sensor scans. The group began clearing debris to conduct a search when Commander Montgomery Scott halted their efforts, having been ordered to abandon any lost crewmates so the Enterprise could respond to a distress call in another system.
