He returned to Earth after the war and worked at McKinley Station, which gave him a chance to stay close with his young family now living in Edinburgh. The couple welcomed a second child Navin in 2376. In the 2380s, he worked at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards and was reunited with Kadosh, who was now a Marine instructor living in the Martian Colonies with his wife Kathryn and their three children.

On the morning of SD 238910.22, he had just met his new department chief [[Rahman, Roshanara|Roshanara Rahman]] and was showing her around Main Engineering when the new chief engineer noticed a foreign device planted on the warp core. It was quickly discovered that the device was an explosive, and Rahman ordered everyone to evacuate and MacNeil to raise the containment field around the warp core and shut down the core itself. Soon after, however, the device, along with several other explosives spread throughout Main Engineering, detonated, killing numerous engineers still in the engine room. | On the morning of SD 238910.22, he had just met his new department chief [[Rahman, Roshanara|Roshanara Rahman]] and was showing her around Main Engineering when the new chief engineer noticed a foreign device planted on the warp core.
