Russell was doing duty on the bridge when the ship was rendezvousing with a Zalkonian vessel and experienced the suffocating weapon of the Zalkonians. (TNG: "Transfigurations")

He was working in engineering when the Enterprise-D encountered a Borg cube in late 2366 and Captain Picard was assimilated by the Borg. He was part of the engineering crew who were evacuated from main engineering. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds")

2367

In 2367, Russell was part of the engineering team with Commander Shelby which improved the Enterprise-D following the abduction of Captain Picard. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")

Russell was doing maintenance repair work in main engineering, dressed in a technician jumpsuit, when Worf gave his parents Helena and Sergey Rozhenko a tour through main engineering. (TNG: "Family")

He was one of the engineers on duty in main engineering when the senior staff tried to get the controls of the ship back following Data's malfunction. (TNG: "Brothers")

He was working on the system table in engineering when Commander Riker, Data, Worf, Geordi La Forge and Ishara Yar discussed plans to infiltrate the Alliance territory on Turkana IV. (TNG: "Legacy")

A holographic duplicate of Russell, created by Barash on Alpha Onias III, passed Captain Riker and Dr. Crusher in the corridor outside of the transporter room. (TNG: "Future Imperfect")

Russell was working in engineering when the ship was rapidly approaching a cosmic string as it was dragged along by two-dimensional lifeforms. (TNG: "The Loss")

He was on duty during the encounter of the Paxans and served in engineering when Data and Nelson performed a scan. (TNG: "Clues")

He was also working in engineering when a spaceborne species dubbed "Junior" attached itself to the hull of the Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Galaxy's Child")

He was one of the engineers on duty in main engineering when the ship met the Cytherian probe near the Argus Array and was part of the team which couldn't start to work because Reginald Barclay was missing. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")

He was on duty on the bridge when the Enterprise-D was in orbit of Tagus III and hosted a banquet for the members of the Federation Archaeology Council. (TNG: "Qpid")

Russell was working in main engineering when Admiral Norah Satie visited the machine room and inspected the dilithium chamber hatch. (TNG: "The Drumhead")

Russell was on duty when Lwaxana Troi and her valet Mr. Homn entered engineering with Mantickian patés for a small picnic. (TNG: "Half a Life")

Later, he was working in engineering after Geordi La Forge returned from his trip to Risa; La Forge was very pleased with the work the engineers had done in his absence. (TNG: "The Mind's Eye")

He was one of the crewmembers who honored Worf by standing in a row in the corridor to the transporter room when Worf left the ship and Starfleet to fight in the Klingon Civil War. (TNG: "Redemption")

2368

Russell, 2368

Russell in main engineering

He was one of the crewmembers assigned to scan the debris of the Vulcan transport T'Pau. (TNG: "Unification I")

Russell was working on the bridge when the Enterprise-D was in orbit of Qualor II and received a subspace message from Captain Picard aboard K'Vada's Bird-of-Prey. (TNG: "Unification II")

He was one of the engineers on duty when the Enterprise-D assisted the scientists on Penthara IV in saving their colony while being observed by Berlinghoff Rasmussen (TNG: "A Matter of Time") and when the Enterprise-D assisted Doctor Ja'Dar in testing the soliton wave. (TNG: "New Ground")

He was also working in main engineering when the Enterprise-D investigated the destruction of the SS Vico in a black cluster. (TNG: "Hero Worship")

Sometime between 2366 and 2368 he was one of the engineering crewmembers who were evacuated from the main engineering due to a warp core breach. Commander Riker experienced this event during a telepathic memory invasion by the Ullian Jev and remembered the death of Ensign Keller. (TNG: "Violations")

Russell was on duty in main engineering when the Enterprise-D approached the Lysian Central Command while their memories were wiped out by the Satarran Keiran MacDuff. (TNG: "Conundrum")
