    "Captain of engineering" can easily be made a sort of honorary title
so that Scotty can keep his rank, but the real problem is Sulu.
The novel has Sulu Knowing that he will be the new Captain of the Excelsior
while he is on board the Enterprise.  In fact, he was neglecting his new
ship in favor of Kirk and the Enterprise (a fake inspection).
