Also Merrick’s telepathy is something that embarrasses. While a T4 may be strong among other races, but with the Rodulon it is bare minimum. He feels that superior intellect should mean superior telepathic talent, but so far it has eluded him. He practices at it with his Basotile as well as with many different Vulcan meditation techniques in the hopes of strengthening and focusing his talent, but so far it has eluded him. The main problem is that when attempting to make contact with others, he may get as much of a headache as others do, so he very rarely uses it as a means of communication. But he does continue to work at it. | Also Merrick’s telepathy is something that embarrasses. While a T4 may be strong among other races, but with the Rodulon it is bare minimum.

On Vulcan he was an off-worlder, on Rodul he was still something of an alien, he was usually smarter than his peers, this combined to make him a person who didn’t look to make friends or felt he needed them. It is not that he doesn’t like people, but that he doesn’t always see anything in common with them. When they are doing frivolous things like shore leave and drinking at the bar he is meditating, studying, writing a paper, playing chess or kal-toh or working with his Bosatile. However he is finding that as he gets into his late 30’s and is looking at his 40’s in a few years he is changing internally . . . despite his best efforts. At many points in his youth and well into his 20’ his parents urged him to find ways to bond with others, something he always had trouble with. At that time he disregarded it, but now he is noticing a feeling of loss at times. He is not sure how to deal with that. | ||

Merrick had a thirst for learning, one that was fostered not only by his parents but by Skarok and T’Mara a bonded Vulcan couple that often traveled with them, who acted as diplomats and scientists, but also doubled as tutors for young Merrick. It was they who saw his intellect more clearly and noticed that his telepathic training was for the most part nonexistent and was seriously impacting his ability to use it. So they recommended that he go to Vulcan schools, not only for training | Merrick had a thirst for learning, one that was fostered not only by his parents but by Skarok and T’Mara a bonded Vulcan couple that often traveled with them, who acted as diplomats and scientists, but also doubled as tutors for young Merrick.

So they recommended that he go to Vulcan schools, not only for training that would challenge him intellectually, but one that could help him telepathically. His parent agreed.

Merrick stayed on Vulcan, enjoying the classes and even immersing himself in a culture that seemed to fit his own temperament so well. For him it was not the mysticism that he enjoyed but the Vulcan’s desire to set aside emotion in the pursuit of logic and their focus on intellect. For Merrick he was like a kid in a candy shop, focusing on varied things like Chemistry, Astrophysics, ExoBiology, Xenology, Mechanical engineering, Logic & Advanced Problem solving, and even the Vulcan meditation techniques that helped focus his mind and attempt to learn to use his Telepathy. While he excelled in a scholastic way, his telepathy was lagging far behind. | Merrick stayed on Vulcan, enjoying the classes and even immersing himself in a culture that seemed to fit his own temperament so well.

At 22 the Rodulan government contacted him asking him to do as his parents had done, help them track down Basotile artifacts, a request that Merrick agreed to primarily out of duty to his parents and home world. Like his parents Merrick had spent years off world and he seemed to be a good candidate for such a job. So for the next 4 years he was a student part of the time and a Basotile collector the rest. However Merrick lacked his parent’s social skills and most importantly interest and so by 26 he left that and found a new love: The Borg. | At 22 the Rodulan government contacted him asking him to do as his parents had done, help them track down Basotile artifacts, a request that Merrick agreed to primarily out of duty to his parents and home world.
