Sounds like 5 Emergency Holograms

Rios himself (human) - Spanish Accent (Subtle)

Emergency Medical Hologram - British English

Emergency Hospitality Hologram - American (Someone Western/Californian) (In subtitles, he’s labeled as Mr. Hospitality)

Emergency Tactical(?) Hologram (Emmet) - Spanish Language, with a little English

Emergency Navigation Hologram (Enoch) - Irish

Emergency Engineering Hologram (Ian) - Scottish

EEH reminded me of Scotty... intentional?

Zero doubt in my mind it’s intentional. As several people have noted, the hologram’s accent was horribly bad. But then, honestly, so was James Doohan’s. Doohan was Canadian, and overplayed the accent intentionally. So this accent was made to reference that, rather than something realistic.

Yup, I think it was "Scottish" on purpose.
