Using a transporter aboard the Franklin, Jaylah and her new allies then managed to bring Spock and Leonard McCoy to them. After Scott assured Jaylah the newcomers were his friends, she set them free. One of Jaylah's traps was subsequently tripped by Captain James T. Realizing Scott was an engineer, Jaylah agreed to help him find his crew if he helped her finish her repairs. In 2263, she came across Montgomery Scott, who had recently escaped the Enterprise inside an advanced long-range torpedo, and saved him from three rival scavengers. Jaylah became a scavenger to obtain parts with which to repair the Franklin and leave Altamid. Jaylah holds Montgomery Scott at knife point ( Star Trek Beyond)Īccording to Jaylah actress Sofia Boutella, Jaylah herself made her own weapons. In time, Jaylah became a formidable warrior, skilled in martial arts and in wielding a quarterstaff that doubled as a rifle. She also learned how to speak English from the ship's records. Inside the vessel, she discovered a music player, from which she particularly liked music featuring 'beats and shouting'. She hid it using holographic technology and set up multiple defensive traps in the surrounding area. Jaylah discovered the derelict hulk of the Freedom-class USS Franklin and made her home in it. Jaylah's father stayed behind to hold off Manas, buying Jaylah time to flee at the cost of his own life. During the attempt, Jaylah and her father were confronted by Krall's subordinate Manas.

Jaylah and her family quickly realized that people were routinely taken from Krall's holding cells and killed, so they decided to attempt escape. Years prior to her encounter with the USS Enterprise crew, Jaylah and her family, like many before them, were attacked by Krall and imprisoned on Altamid.
