Biography
When the time came for the Spartan augmentations, he became crippled during the surgeries and could not continue his military career as a Spartan II soldier. Despite his now defective body, Chief Petty Officer Mendez says that Kirk and the others who can no longer fight still have sharp minds, and they will be reassigned to a non-combat position within the Navy, specifically planning missions, analyzing data and troubleshooting ops.

John-117 last saw Kirk in a neutral-buoyancy gel tank, breathing through a respirator alongside Rene, who's skeletal system was also disfigured beyond recognition like Kirk's. Kirk and the other injured Spartans were taken out of the launch chamber of the UNSC Atlas by a few crewman shortly after their surgical enhancements were completed. Kirk and the others whereabouts and positions are currently unknown. It is quite possible that kirk has to stay in the Neutral-buoyancy gel tank for the rest of his life.
