During his first two years he spent time in the Vulcan temple of Kal'shar, which was positioned near mount Seleya. They promoted Vulcan mental discipline and discarding emotion, and focused on Vulcan logic and taught its adherents how to extend that logic. There are some who believe that some have developed a level of precognition, although the adepts will only say that it is just an an application of extended logic. | During his first two years he spent time in the Vulcan temple of Kal'shar, which was positioned near mount Seleya.

Merrick Had always had a passion for learning, an unfocused eagerness that had actually caused some consternation among his professors during his time at the Vulcan Science Academy. He started full time schooling and there he continued his work in Astrophysics and Mathematics, classes he had already started before he arrived on Vulcan and he even took on Biology. The problem was that he was always hopping from one course of study to another taking in anything that struck his fancy. However as his class schedule shifted and the number of his classes continued to accumulate he was accused of becoming a career student. It was not that he could not pass them, he was nearly a straight A student, but he took them apparently with no clear cut goal in mind. | |||
It all made sense to Merrick: He wanted to learn and continue to learn, But that was not enough. By the end he had received degrees in all three of his main courses of study, but he was being encouraged to find a career. | |||
"You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here!" | |||
It was a human expression that he heard a number of times during that time frame. It was around that time that he left Vulcan, and at the behest of the Rodulan homeworld he went looking for the Basotile artifacts. It was seen by his parents, his professors and everyone concerned as a way of giving him perspective. He could not always be a student. It was during this time that he stumbled across his first remnant of the BORG. He found several artifacts, inert nanites, parts of several different implants and a nearly complete Vinculum. Ultimately they were given to the Vulcan Academy, but it was then that he had finally found himself! | |||
He returned to the Vulcan science academy, and this time he was a changed man. He had drive, passion and he had a goal in mind. The next six years saw him dive into Cybernetics and Mechatronics like a madman! Now his propensity for taking various courses had meaning and a specific thrust. The courses in Astrophysics, biology and mathematics extended in a whole new way. And he took on things like electrical engineering, systems studies, Artificial intelligence, Nanotechnology and many others. When he left the Science Academy it was to follow that lead right into Starfleet Academy where he double majored in Science and Engineering. | |||
By 34 he entered Starfleet and rounding out his scientific knowledge taking a double major in science and engineering. | By 34 he entered Starfleet and rounding out his scientific knowledge taking a double major in science and engineering. | ||
