Lieutenant Cleary was a male Human Starfleet officer who lived during the mid-23rd century. He served in the operations division aboard the USS Enterprise under Captain Will Decker and Commander Montgomery Scott during the ship's refit, where at the time he served as one of the ship's assistant engineers. Cleary later served under Admiral Kirk as he commanded the Enterprise to intercept the V'ger probe in the 2270s.
Just prior to the launch of the newly-refitted ship from spacedock, engineering technicians determined that a transporter sensor wasn't activated. This was attributed to faulty modules. Chief Engineer Scott ordered Cleary to put in a new sensor. During this process, Commander Sonak and another crewmember were attempting to beam aboard. Cleary reported the transporters had reached the red line and attempted to contact the transporter room. When Scott ordered the room to disengage, Cleary reported that was it too late as the two individuals were beaming in. The inactivation of the sensor resulted in a malfunction of the system and the beaming failed with both individuals being killed. The defect was later corrected by Scott's engineering team.
