El-Aurian [[El-Aurian#Physiology|genes seem to be dominant in some hybrid cases]] (depending on the species), and that seems to ring true with Bryce since his systems (for example, his circulatory/cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, and immune/lymphatic systems) are seemingly more El-Aurian than human, though there are subtle human variations and influences. He has experienced [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Af-Kelt Af-Kelt], and has [[El-Aurian#Physiology|a dense hippocampus with vivid memory recall]] (which contributed to his secondary trauma - ''see Medical Notes''), and a stiff knee which might be more heightened due to [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian#Biology the physical sensitivity of El-Aurians] (''see Medical Notes''). The symptoms experienced during Af-Kelt can likely be attributed to these physical sensitivities, too.

* '''Depression, Stress & Secondhand Trauma:''' After the events of the lunar colony, Bryce suffered from an inordinate amount of guilt, pain and trauma. When he returned home, the invisible wounds were apparent. While he sought medical attention (in the form of therapy, etc.), his existing relationships suffered. For a time, he fell into a black void that consisted of some reckless behavior and a string of one-night stands. He took some time off work before slowly reintegrating after his providers were confident that he was fit for duty. While still finding himself after those events, he is actively seeking purpose in his work and finding ways to build healthy, strong friendships and working relationships. He believes wholeheartedly in strong support systems and the power of community. ''Note: Due to the timing of treatment and his overall commitment and progress, a waiver was granted, with the understanding that counseling sessions are required routinely. Was treated by Dr. Ev Randall while in the academy and on DS6, before his assignment to the Gorkon, and again after the events of the Rogue World.''

* '''Scars:''' Not visible while in uniform. Has a gunshot scar on his right shoulder and a knife scar along the left side of his torso. There's also a large scar around his left knee and leg from a rock-climbing injury.

* '''[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chroniton Chroniton] Sickness or ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'''''<nowiki/>'':''<nowiki/> ''Incomplete/data loading.'' A sickness reserved specifically for El-Aurians and El-Aurian hybrids, though much literature is non-existent, and any historical data is challenging to obtain thus making it virtually unexplored territory. Currently, data regarding Bryce's case is being captured and documented by Starfleet Medical. Exposure to an abundance of chronitons on the Rogue Planet wreaked havoc on his system. When he arrived on the Gorkon in early 2399, he was chronologically aged 42 with the physical appearance of a man in his early 20s. The exposure caused him to age 10 years physically, grow a few inches in height (from 5'10" to 6'2"), and develop premature graying around his temples; among other things. He also noted that he had dreams of himself sliding through time, though this cannot be proven (and he cannot remember all of it). This necessitated intense physical therapy/physiotherapy, telomere therapy, and anti-chroniton treatments. ''Overall prognosis has been determined to be good, though continued monitoring is necessary especially given the unique nature of this case. [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Antichroniton Anti-chroniton] treatment or prophylaxis will be necessary for any potential future exposures.''

* '''Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):''' Post-Rogue World, the effects of ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'' caused much emotional and mental stress, as were the decisions to sit out a mission and the inability to help with the medical efforts deployed throughout the system once the world left. He is still coming to terms about his physical changes, feeling like a stranger in his body. ''Treated extensively by Dr. Ev Randall, with a treatment plan ongoing. Patient does not display any concerning items that would impair ability to work however continued therapy is required.''

* '''[[Martin Watson]]''': Former roommates. Bry found Martin to be something of a kindred spirit and their friendship seemed to evolve easily. They shared an interest and appreciation for holodramas and the arts.

* '''[[Meidra Sirin]]''': A former fellow medical officer and hybrid El-Aurian, the two seemed to naturally find themselves in the beginnings of a friendship. The two are joined efforts, compiling information for a scientific database; a resource that was intended to be utilized for future missions. They also explored the flora and fauna of [[Tyrellian_system|Palanon]] together, sketching out details and recorded their observations for prosperity.

* '''[[Tahna Meru]]''': He first met Meru on deck eight when he was called to join a search and rescue party; the deck was severely compromised, riddled with hull breaches. It was his first mission ([[Shadows of the Rift (Gorkon)|Shadows of the Rift]]) and, from there, he has continued to admire her quiet strength and determination. Having learned that he lost all of the personal artifacts because of the explosion on deck eight, she gave him a housewarming gift in anticipation of his newly rebuilt quarters: an aloe vera plant, which he named Vera Rubin. He considers her a friend but did not return her calls (or anyone's) when on medical leave after the Rogue Planet left the Tyrellian System. They are currently rebuilding their friendship.

* '''[[Cory Stoyer]]''': The camping trip on Palanon was Bryce's first interaction with the helmsman but, over the course of the trip, found him to be friendly and an awesome poker player.

* '''[[Tali Namura]]''': Tali was the first person he shared bits of his past with (the heavier stuff - secondary trauma's latest effects), which was a bit of a milestone and a huge step but one he felt was necessary to build the foundations of trust and understanding with the Acting CMO. He also felt supported under her tutelage, having sought out her guidance and expertise (and finding a sense of peace with his decisions in the aftermath of the[[Shadows of the Rift (Gorkon)| Shadows of the Rift]] mission) while caring for [[Tzim-Shah]]. He's heard the buzz along the medbay grapevine, the whispers and tall tales of med techs, that she has a macabre affinity for bone and organ collection; to which he has mostly ignored, having found her to be, "quite lovely."
