The two beamed down to Genesis to investigate, and discovered the regenerated body of Captain Spock. Arriving at the planet, the two discovered an animal life form on the planet which should not have been there. During this time the two had a relationship. ( TOS - Strange New Worlds IV short story: " Prodigal Father")Ī short time later David Marcus and Saavik transferred to the USS Grissom, which was heading back to the Genesis Planet to conduct a science survey. ( TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)ĭuring the battle, Marcus came to feel immense pride in being Kirk's son.
Marcus told Kirk that they had four minutes before the device exploded, and that once started it could not be stopped. When a defeated Khan activated the Genesis Device, Marcus recognized the Genesis wave emanating from the Reliant. When an overloaded helm console severely injured Hikaru Sulu, Marcus performed CPR on Sulu until medics could arrive on the bridge, saving Sulu's life. ( TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)ĭuring the final battle between the Enterprise and Reliant, Marcus went to the bridge. Terrell committed suicide, and the eel left the body of Chekov, who later recovered. Terrell and Chekov were unable to bring themselves to kill Admiral Kirk. David Marcus tried to rush Terrell, and Lieutenant Saavik tackled him before Terrell could vaporize him with a phaser. They provided the coordinates of the Genesis torpedo to Khan. Captain Clark Terrell and Commander Pavel Chekov - under the control of Khan via Ceti eels - used the distraction to pull weapons on the Enterprise crew members. Kirk, who was put back in command of the Enterprise due to the sort of military crisis, arrived in the Genesis Cave, Marcus attacked Kirk, believing him to be responsible for the murder of the scientists who remained behind on the Regula I station. Things only got worse for them when the USS Enterprise, on a training cruise and ambushed by the Reliant, arrived at Regula One space station to get answers. David Marcus believed that Starfleet was going to co-opt Genesis for military use however, his mother did not share that view. When Khan Noonien Singh had the USS Reliant come to Regula to take the Project Genesis device and related materials, Marcus and the other Genesis Project team members did not know that Khan had hijacked Reliant. Marcus expressed misgivings in dealing with Starfleet, knowing that Genesis could be used as a terrible weapon. He was one of the leading scientists behind the creation of the Genesis Device. ( TOS - Strange New Worlds IV short story: " Prodigal Father") He attended the Daystrom Institute, where he once attended a guest lecture by Spock, and graduated at the age of twenty-two. When he was sixteen years old, Marcus vacationed at the Sojourner Ranch on Mars, where he was injured and nearly bled to death. Though angry and melancholic about her decision, Kirk could not deny that her reasoning was justified. In 2270, James Kirk made another attempt to speak to David on his birthday only for Carol to bluntly deny him any access to his son. Escaping into the hills with Commander Spock and the rest of the colony's children, David survived until the group could be rescued by the Enterprise, but would harbor deep distrust and resentment against Starfleet for many years following the incident. In 2268, approximately halfway through the USS Enterprise's five-year mission (on stardate 3998.6), the seven- year-old Marcus and his mother were involved in a Klingon attack upon the Federation colony world of Beta Canzandia, where a terraforming research project was underway, supervised by Carol Marcus.
( TOS - Year Four comic: " The Enterprise Experiment, Part 3") Kirk did consider reaching out to his son but upon learning that Peter Kirk was seeking to enrol in Starfleet Academy, decided that he had no need to, confident that his nephew would ensure the Kirk family legacy. In the year 2267, David and his mother attended the funeral of George Samuel Kirk, Jr., but did not speak to James T.
