When Aiken refused, ONI deemed him compromised and no longer viable as a Spartan and so made plans to “decommission” him. In 2546, ONI finally located him and made plans to reintegrate him into service, as they viewed him as a huge investment of the SPARTAN-II program. Tragically, Aiken’s wife died during childbirth. In 2545, Aiken and his wife had a daughter named Natalie. By that time, however, his ties to the people of Vodin and his wife were too strong for him to return to service, and so Randall-037 – now going by the name Aiken – decided instead to keep a low profile and remain on Vodin. With all outbound communication and transport equipment destroyed in the Covenant attack, Randall-037 lived with the survivors of Vodin for a full decade, even marrying one of the colonists, before they finally regained contact with the UNSC. Though severely damaged in the attack, the colony was still habitable and Randall integrated with the local survivors as he recovered from his injuries. He was rescued days later by locals who had also survived the Covenant assault. In reality, Randall had fallen from the planet’s skyhooks into Vodin's atmosphere and plunged to the surface, surviving impact by landing in one of the colony’s oceans. Randall-037 was thought lost during an orbital space engagement with the Covenant during the Battle of Vodin and deemed by ONI to be unrecoverable. 27 October 2015 Disappearance from the UNSC
