Corrected entry: As soon as the Vengeance's weapons fail to destroy the Enterprise, Scotty was revealed to have gone to engineering and turned off the shields. Scotty then phones Kirk to beam him back to the Enterprise and Kirk points out the Enterprise is low on power. Scotty then replies "What do you mean? Low on power? What happened to the Enterprise?" How did Scotty not know that the Vengeance damaged the Enterprise? As the Enterprise and Vengeance were fighting in mid-warp earlier on, the Vengeance kept blasting the Enterprise, knocking it out of warp. If Scotty was in engineering the entire time, he should have been aware of the fact that the Vengeance's weapons were currently in use whilst the Enterprise was right next to it. (01:20:50)

Correction: Scotty was hiding the whole time. So he wasn't out in the open, looking at the monitors to determine what was going on. Since no one fired on the Vengeance, he would not have been able to tell that there was a battle going on. He didn't come out of hiding until after the Enterprise was crippled by the Vengeance.
