The android duplicate of James T. Kirk was virtually identical to the Human original, whose body and memories were copied on Stardate 2712.4 by ancient technology left over on Exo III. Realizing that Dr. Roger Korby intended to replace him with the android, the original Kirk corrupted the copy by altering his perception of Commander Spock, providing a clue to the Vulcan officer that something was amiss. The android's life was cut short after a matter of hours, however, when another android, Andrea, vaporized him with a phaser when he responded to a kiss by saying that such behavior was illogical.[1]
