In 2277, Pearson accompanied Admiral Kirk and Security Chief Galloway on a landing party mission to the Automate-66 pyrex plant on planet Marris V. Pearson later became infected with a contagious bacteria along with most of the crew, and eventually was incapacitated with Morpheus-Nine anesthesia gas and cured with shots of a saline solution and vitamins.
