* On Stardate 239304.10 Merrick R'Ven's body was invaded by Borg Nanoprobes who had become self-aware and had broken free from their hosts. Most of the affects on R'Ven appears to be confined generally between his telepathic lobe and his eyes although his entire body has been flooded with nanoprobes.
**'''Telepathic lobe:''' The part of his brain where his telepathy resides has undergone a radical restructuring and has come to look more like a cross between a cortical node and a miniature Vinculum. This has had the affect of completely shutting down his telepathy. Whether he will be able to communicate with other Borg remains to be seen.
**'''Eyes:''' Internally Merrick's eyes have become more like Borg occular implants. Testing has shown that every part of the eye is able to absorb information with equal efficiency IE there is nothing considered peripheral. Also provides the him with enhanced clarity and sharpness allowing him to analyze complex three-dimensional shapes, magnify objects to the microscopic level and seem to be effective into the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum. However they are also having the affect of overloading his brain with a large amount of extraneous data which he is still having to learn to adjust to and which also causing occasional headaches and dizziness.
**'''Nanoprobes:''' Merrick's body is still being at least partially maintained with nanoprobes. They do not appear to be making any other changes on his system, but they do seem to give him a slightly enhanced resistance to poisons and diseases and he heals somewhat faster then he did before. However it is unknown if they will prove to have some other deleterious affect on him at some later date. Also it can be assumed that any agent that affects Borg technology will affect him as well.
**'''Memories:''' Although R'Ven had never been transformed into a Borg drone, like those victims who have been recovered he has the memories of those Borg. However the memories appear to be unusually strong and he is having trouble integrating them at times. They are effecting a slow but steady change in his personality.

Merrick has focused primarily on learning and mental training, so he has put little to no effort into physical training or prowess and as a result courses that focused on combat, tactics, and/or marksmanship and the like he floundered in and he was only barely able to pass. In fact he would have passed Starfleet training earlier than he did, except he had to go back and take the unarmed combat test more than once to pass.

Also Merrick’s telepathy is something that embarrasses. While a T4 may be strong among other races, but with the Rodulan 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 lack of telepathy still bothers him. Since its loss he still feels the hole that is left behind. He also has cut off ties with family feeling embarrassed and ashamed of his condition. He has made contact with one of his cousins, [https://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Akeelah_D%27Sena| Akeelah D'Sena], but so far has not visited her or made any plans to do so.


Lastly Merrick is aloof, standoffish, or even self isolating. 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.
