No one could anticipate how he would mature, given his unique lineage. When Bryce was a child, he grew, accomplished developmental milestones, and ultimately went through puberty at the same rate as any full-blooded human. At about 19, the aging process started to slow due to his El-Aurian side and he essentially 'stopped' physically aging by his early 20s. | No one could anticipate how he would mature, given his unique lineage.

Overall, the aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual based on stress, life experience, and other factors. There have been theories and studies mentioning the Hayflick limit and El-Aurian immune systems, but this remains a topic of debate. It is also said that an [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian El-Aurian can age when they "choose to."] | Overall, the aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual based on stress, life experience, and other factors.

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. However, 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. | 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.

With the present state of El-Aurian numbers and their ability to seemingly intermarry and interbreed with other species, more and more information is being gathered that would shed light on their unique biology/physiology. | With the present state of El-Aurian numbers and their ability to seemingly intermarry and interbreed with other species, more and more information is being gathered that would shed light on their unique biology/physiology. | ||

* '''[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chroniton Chroniton] Sickness or ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'''''<nowiki/>'':''<nowiki/> ''Stardates 239910-240001.'' ''Incomplete/data loading; alternative keywords chronometric.'' 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. Data regarding Bryce's case is currently being captured and documented by Starfleet Medical. Exposure to an abundance of chronitons on the Rogue World created a severe reaction and wreaked havoc on his system. He also noted that he had hazy, feverish dreams of "sliding through time" and went as far as stating that he "saw his own children." When he arrived on the Gorkon in early 2399, he was chronologically aged 41 with the physical appearance of a man in his early 20s. The exposure caused him to rapidly age by approximately ten years physically, grow a few inches in height, and develop premature graying around his temples. There was evidence (not an exhaustive list) of oxidative stress and telomere shortening. Treatment included but was not limited to: intense physical therapy/physiotherapy, telomere therapy, and anti-chroniton treatments. | * '''[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chroniton Chroniton] Sickness or ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'''''<nowiki/>'':''<nowiki/> ''Stardates 239910-240001.''

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.

*'''[[Shadows of the Rift (Gorkon)| Shadows of the Rift]]''' (239901.27 to 239904.22): Bryce plunged into action during the middle of [[Shadows_of_the_Rift_(Gorkon)#Act_Two:_Kill_of_the_Night|Act II]] (239903.07), redirected from sickbay towards search and rescue efforts on deck 8 after an explosion compromised its hull. The party that he joined consisted of Lieutenant Commander [[Jona ch'Ranni]], Lieutenant [[Lephi]], and Lieutenant JG [[Tahna Meru]]; Lieutenant Commander [[Kero Rix]] later assumed the party's lead during the middle of Act III. The deck was riddled with punctures to the hull (weakening containment fields and EVA suits were their only means of safety), leaving the rescue team slightly on edge as they worked against the clock to find any survivors in the explosion's aftermath and fight the rift's terrible, personalized nightmares. They were able to successfully rescue Lieutenant JG [[Vorin]], Lieutenant [[Valesha Sienelis]] (who was in the throes of labor), and Ensign [[Tzim-Shah]] (who lost an arm during the ordeal), but there were also casualties. The incident and the tough decisions around when to press on for the sake of other survivors or to spend the critical time and resources sorting through debris to search for officers that may already be dead made the seasoned doctor yet fresh Ensign think back to [https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-gorkon/c/V49FWksUItM/m/CjM3OQseCQAJ events on the lunar colony].
