During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Randall-037 participated in fifty-nine battles and military operations. His last official service as a SPARTAN-II was in [[2532]] in the [[Battle of Vodin]] where he was listed as [[missing in action]]. During the planet's orbital space engagement with the Covenant, he fell from the planet's [[skyhook]]s into [[Vodin]]'s atmosphere and plunged to the surface, only to survive the impact by landing in an ocean on the planet. He was rescued days later by local survivors and lived with them following the battle.<ref name="waypoint enc"/> | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Randall-037 participated in fifty-nine battles and military operations.

Stranded and isolated from UNSC contact, Randall lived with the survivors for a full decade and was married to one of the colonists. When contact with the UNSC was established, Randall, now going by the name Aiken, maintained a low profile and preferred to stay with his wife and strong societal ties on Vodin than returning to service with the UNSC. In [[2545]], Aiken and his wife had a daughter named [[Natalie Aiken|Natalie]]. Unfortunately, Aiken's wife died during childbirth. In [[2546]], ONI managed to locate Randall and made plans to reintegrate him into service, as they viewed him as a huge investment of the SPARTAN-II program. When Aiken refused, ONI deemed him compromised and no longer viable as a Spartan and so made plans to "decommission" him. Aiken forcefully (and successfully) refused this effort, but eventually negotiated a deal in which ONI "reversed" many of his Spartan augmentations through an excruciating process in return for his release from service to the UNSC.<ref name="waypoint enc"/> | Stranded and isolated from UNSC contact, Randall lived with the survivors for a full decade and was married to one of the colonists.

After concluding his dealings with ONI, Aiken and his daughter left Vodin and headed to the Outer Colony of Sedra where he enrolled as part of the Colonial Guard. Thanks in large part to his extensive training and history, by [[2556]] he advanced to leader of the local wing of the Guard as a Colonel.<ref name="waypoint enc"/> | After concluding his dealings with ONI, Aiken and his daughter left Vodin and headed to the Outer Colony of Sedra where he enrolled as part of the Colonial Guard.
