Despite this he strived to be a good student and was eventually rewarded with good grades in his final exams. He decided that he would like to continue his studies further but wanted to move away from home, partially due to the wanderlust of adolescence and partly to start afresh where he could discover himself away from the people who he grew up with. As this was more important to him than the subject of his study he started looking for degree courses and institutions where he thought he would find this chance.

His training was deeply intesive and competition was fierce between cadets, the initial year was almost exclusively centred on routing out unsuitable candidates. Like many other cadets in his field he had an extremely intensive study schedule but, as he was now a little older and wiser and finally had a sense of purpose and direction in his life he was able to balance his training with other pursuits – including playing ice hockey. Bryan enjoyed the sport and played for one of the academy teams - the SFI Black Cats – as a centre during his second and third years.  

MacRae chose to make his intelligence specialisation the Orion Syndicate. While technically not a governmental organization in the strictest sense he convinced his instructors that there was enough confirmed information about the group that it was a valid option. He also rationalised that, while governments may rise and fall, the Syndicate has an enduring and widespread reach, meaning his training may be of more use particularly in areas of galactic instability where the Syndicate hoped to capitalise.

In 2358, the Cardassian government, still involved in hostilities with the Federation, allowed certain off-world news and information agencies the opportunity to visit the occupied Bajor to see the 'fine efforts Cardassia was making to shepherd and guide the primitive Bajoran people'. Duncan was able to secure not only information, but was able to use this visit to discover more information about the Bajoran Resistance to bring back to Earth. Upon his return he was approached by Allison Leslie, a researcher and historian, who was interested in the relationship between Cardassian government and the citizenry. He was flattered to be asked and, while not being an expert, offered any information he had. The two had several meetings both at the museum and at the FNS offices and a chemistry began to build.

[[Image:Allison MacRae.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Allison MacRae]]'''Mother - (B: 233110.11) (Age: {{age|2331|10|11}})''' - Allison MacRae (Neé Leslie) is a historian and museum curator at the Caledonia Museum Of Cultural History. Born in a small agricultural community she was raised in a fiercely patriotic home environment, brought up to believe that the Federation was an infallible institution that always put the needs of citizens first. During her teenage years, what Allison refers to as her 'anarchist phase' she began to question what made the Federation so special? Much to her parents disgust she began to look into the past of the Federation - trying to find proof that it couldn't be beyond question or reproach. She found her evidence in the form of the Khitomer Conspiracy. The details were somewhat unclear but what was obvious (at least to her) was that if institutions were organized and controlled by people, and people were capable of anything to further their own goals, then it wasn't possible to trust them implicitly. While the tensions with her parents did subside she had found that she had enjoyed her research and study and elected to take it further and study history.
