Kirk-018[1] was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II Program in 2517, but was crippled by the augmentation process.

Biography

Like the other SPARTAN-II candidates, Kirk was kidnapped by the Office of Naval Intelligence at the age of six and replaced with a flash clone double which would inevitably decay and die within a few years. He lived with the other Spartans in the FLEETCOM Military Complex on Reach, where he was trained by Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and the AI Déjà. When the time came for the biochemical augmentations, he became crippled during the surgeries and could not continue his military career as a SPARTAN-II.

John-117 last saw Kirk during the funeral ceremony for the the deceased SPARTAN-II candidates in the launch chamber of the UNSC Atlas. He had been immersed in a neutral-buoyancy gel tank, breathing through a respirator alongside René-081, whose skeletal system, due to the carbide ceramic bone ossification, was also disfigured beyond recognition like Kirk's. Kirk and the other injured Spartans were taken out of the launch chamber by a few crewmen after the funeral.

Despite his now defective body, Chief Mendez noted that Kirk and the others who can no longer fight still have sharp minds, and they were reassigned to a non-combat position within the Navy or ONI, specifically planning missions, analyzing data, and troubleshooting operations.[2] In her journal, Dr. Halsey stated she found a possible way to reverse the bone ossification effects on Kirk and René-081, and may be able return them to proper physical condition at some point.[3]
