==Relationships of Note:== | |||

During his posting aboard the Nimitz, McDermott slowly came out of his self-imposed emotional shell and developed a friendship with Ensign Lawrence Drake, his subordinate when they both served in the USS Nimitz’ Tactical Department. Surprisingly, Eric has also developed a close friendship with the USS Nimitz’ [[First Officer]] [[Commander]] [[Jonas Lemar]]. | |||
Much of Eric's emotional development came about as a result of his intimate relationship with Nimitz Ships Counselor [[Cecilia Bruce]]. While initially there were numerous misunderstandings between the two mostly due to Eric’s own inexperience and failure to understand his own feelings or Bruce’s. The couple overcame those challenges due to the powerful bond that had developed between them. The result was that the two became Imzadi as well as lovers for a brief, yet intense relationship. | |||
Unfortunately this relationship came to an end due to a series of traumatic events that occurred during an away mission on [[Cait]] that caused Bruce to request a transfer of duty away from McDermott. | |||
McDermott is currently single. | |||

McDermott is very much a student of military history and his abilities and scores in tactical simulations are nothing short of astounding. He seems to have an intuitive grasp of strategy and how to best make use of whatever resources or weapons he has available to exploit the weaknesses of his opponents. While his battle plans are extensive and cover almost every contingency, he has an uncanny ability to compensate and adjust when everything goes wrong without so much as batting an eye. | McDermott is very much a student of military history and his abilities and scores in tactical simulations are nothing short of astounding.

Despite being overmatched, McDermott succeeded in leading the USS Vindicator in a nearly forty-five minute long hit and run battle which eventually resulted in the crippling of the Vindicator. In the climax of the battle McDermott made use of a modified version of the Picard Maneuver, which would later come to be called [[McDermott’s Sidestep]]. After the Vindicator was disabled the Hegh'delar was able to pick up the rescue team and Lt. Tagon without further incident and withdraw from the system. | Despite being overmatched, McDermott succeeded in leading the USS Vindicator in a nearly forty-five minute long hit and run battle which eventually resulted in the crippling of the Vindicator.

Despite this, McDermott’s true nature should have been caught while he was at the Academy as Starfleet’s medical standards are exacting and comprehensive. After extensive investigation by Lt. Commander [[Jonas Lemar]] it was discovered that an accident at the Academy led to the loss of several hundred cadets’ medical records including McDermott’s. While McDermott was supposed to have been reexamined and tested, somehow that examination never happened. | Despite this, McDermott’s true nature should have been caught while he was at the Academy as Starfleet’s medical standards are exacting and comprehensive.

==Notes:== | ==Notes:== | ||
McDermott's inability to function socially with others | McDermott's inability to function socially with others has made him somewhat of a recluse. As such he has very little experience in dealing with people, emotions and social situations. Until recently he has had no real experience with women and while he has been powerfully attracted to certain women in his past, he has been unable to act upon that attraction. He has also missed out on numerous chances for relationships because he has been unable to respond to what to others would be obvious advances. | ||
It is for the above reasons that Eric was very nearly dismissed from the Academy as the Star Fleet Psych-Profiling indicated he was only marginal at best for adjusting to Starfleet lifestyle. In the end however it was decided that there was not enough cause to dismiss him although a recommendation was made for him to be observed and monitored at his first command to ensure he was able to cope with life in Star Fleet. | |||
Since his posting on the Nimitz, McDermott has entered into an intimate relationship with the ships Counselor, [[Cecilia Bruce]]. With her help he is slowly and painfully beginning to come out of his shell. | |||
