O'Neil in 2267

Lieutenant O'Neil served aboard the USS Enterprise during Kirk's first five year mission.

In 2267, he was one of two men assigned to investigate the planet Beta III for clues to the disappearance of the Archon, a starship that vanished there in 2167. A wardrobe error left the landing party obvious to the sinister lawgivers, who enforced the will of the planet's leader, Landru. Hounded relentlessly by lawgivers, the landing party requested beam-up, but O'Neil panicked and fled the transporter coordinates. At some subsequent point, he was absorbed into the Body. The second landing party encountered him in an alley, where he was one member of a crowd they were forced to stun. They took him with them, keeping him sedated, until they could determine what was wrong with him. Reger, a Beta III native who had befriended the landing party, advised against this, warning that Landru could find them through O'Neil. O'Neil later returned to normal when Landru destroyed itself. (TOS: "The Return of the Archons")

In 2268, O'Neil served as the transporter chief when the landing party beamed over to the USS Defiant. He attempted to repair the transporter following the attack by the Tholians, but ultimately required Scotty's assistance. (TOS: "The Tholian Web")

O'Neil was played by actor Sean Morgan.
