He eventually chose the Europa Social Sciences Academy, based in London, to study psychology. One of the appealing features of the four year course on offer was that it included a one year placement program off-world. Bryan selected, and was approved, to spend a year studying on Betazed as he felt that he would benefit from studying alongside a telepathic race and learning about their approach to the subject.

Bryan, during his studies, had been thinking about what he would like to His year off world had given him a wanderlust and it was to Trill he was to travel next to do a research project in political science and philosophy. Examining discourses, treaties and hologrpahic recordings of political figures and studying the role of the individual as a worker in the role of government. It was during this time that he began to become more interested in non-verbal communication and body language - particualrly as it applied to authority and its influence of others.  
Bryan, during his studies, had been thinking about what he would like to do to further his studies. His year off-world had given him a wanderlust and it was eventually to Trill he was to travel next to do a research project in non-verbal communication and body language.


Following his sucessful submission of hie masters he applied for, and was accepted, as a doctoral researcher working at the Assulin Institute in Tel-Aviv in the field of non-verbal communication. During this period of study he was able to expand his knowledge of body language, voice stress analysis and microexpressions and was occasionally called upon, typically by private corporations or media organizations, to assess news footage or observe/conduct interviews to assess subjects for signs of deception. He hoped that this blend of academia and commercial work would help him find avenues into further work in the field.  
He found the subject compelling and he found he had some degree of natural talent for personal observation. Following his sucessful submission of his masters, and missing Earth to some degree, he applied for, and was accepted, to an associate position at the Assulin Institute in Tel-Aviv. This organization offered several services in the field of psychological consulting and he was assigned to their investigations unit. During this period of work he was able to expand his knowledge of body language, voice stress analysis and microexpressions and put this into practice when called upon, typically by private corporations or media organizations, to assess news footage or observe/conduct interviews to assess subjects for signs of deception. He hoped that this blend of both research and commercial work would help him find avenues into further work in the field.  


It was during his time at the institute, while writing up the last part of his doctoral thesis, that he was contacted by a recruitment operative from Starfleet Intelligence with an offer to join the academy and begin training as an intelligence officer, specifically focusing in human intelligence. Having enjoyed his work over the last four years, but feeling that he was becoming academically cloistered and feeling this might finally be a chance to do something more constructive with his future, he accepted.

Having enjoyed his work over the last four years, but feeling that he was becoming a little frustrated with the same type of cases and this might finally be a chance to do something more constructive with his future, he accepted.

Bryan's first duty as an officer was to transport his new Captain from Deep Space Six to the frontier region known as the [[L'heia Sector|L'heia Sector]] by way of of anomaly refered to by the Avandar crew as 'The Rabbit Hole' that was discovered by the [[USS Aurora|USS Aurora]] in 2388.

Initially unsure about his posting, given his training and background, he handled the journey through the Rabbit-Hole without too much inccident. This came as a plesant suprise as, despite the role he was to assume, his flight training was of a minimal level. The journey also allowed him to get to know some of his new crewmates before active deployment in the field; something which many newly graduated officers would not have the benefit of.

After rendezvousing with the Avandar, then in orbit around the planet Dullimar, MacRae was thrown into active duty almost immediately. The exisiting crew, including his new supervising officer Lieutenant Commander [[Tan, Alleran|Alleran Tan]], were on deployment to recover lost technology following a viral attack on the ships computer core by the Xomite Captain Challno in an attempt to accquire Alr'n technology. Assisted by Lieutenant Kilis, a security officer from Dullimar, the situation was diffused but it did not escape Bryan that this sector of space was largely unknonw and that Starfleet had an extremely small pressence in the region; the only other ship being the USS Halo, a Galaxy class vessel under the command of Captain Candice Khaine.
