She's one of the folks that gets liquified in the transporter, according to the novel.

Sometimes I think maybe McCoy had a point about the transporter.

She's one of the folks that gets liquified in the transporter, according to the novel.

That explains this early script version:

 DECKER: hurrying down the corridor. The two face each other a silent moment, Decker studying Kirk curiously.

KIRK

                    We'll have to replace Commander

                    Sonak. I'd still like a Vulcan

                    there, if possible...


                                  DECKER

                    None available, Captain. There's

                    no one in fact, who's fully rated

                    on this design.


                                  KIRK

                    You are, Mister Decker. I'm

                    afraid you'll have to double as

                    Science Officer. .. and triple as 
            
                    my spouse.

come to think of it, he was a widow from Paradise Syndrome on. did he have any other long term relationships shown after Miramanee (apart from whenever Carol Marcus and he were together)?

My head canon is Carol Marcus was that blond lab tech that Gary Mitchell hooked Kirk up with. I think David's age works.

MITCHELL: If I hadn't aimed that little blonde lab technician at you
KIRK: You what? You planned that?
MITCHELL: Well, you wanted me to think, didn't you? I outlined her whole campaign for her.
KIRK: I almost married her!

This does not mean Carol was in Starfleet. I hated that in ST09 as Carol clearly doesn't have an affinity for Starfleet. She could be civilian.

Marcus I'm.tje Kelvin universe was clearly more influenced by her father and his hawkish attitude.

must have been rough growing up with people asking "hey.. is your dad John Frederick Paxton?" "No" "are you sure because he really looks like" "NO!"

Come to think of it, it had to come up at some point during Admiral Marcus' illustrious career.
