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.

McDermott consistently scores at Marksman level with hand held weapons and has achieved a 3rd degree black belt in Aikido and has earned his second degree in Kendo. Preferred weapons are either two (One in each hand), Type 2 Phaser’s or a Type 3 Phaser rifle. He is also a dangerous duelist with either a katana or with his preferred weapon, | McDermott consistently scores at Marksman level with hand held weapons and has achieved a 3rd degree black belt in Aikido and has earned his second degree in Kendo.

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.

On this same day McDermott was promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade by Captain [[Devan Sash]]. To McDermott's utter shock just a few days later on Stardate 2407.03.25 he was posted as the [[Second Officer]] by Captain Sash, when the Nimitz's First Officer Commander [[Jonas Lemar]] was forced to take an emergency leave of absence. | ||

Following what has become standard for his career, McDermott’s Transfer to his new posting did not go smoothly. While on route his Runabout, the Rapier, came under attack by three Runabouts that were a part of [[Doenitz]] forces and was engaged in a running battle right up to his rendezvous with the [[USS Dennison]]. McDermott was able to destroy or disable two of the pursuing vessels and with the help of a shuttle sent by the Dennison he was able to drive off the third. | Following what has become standard for his career, McDermott’s Transfer to his new posting did not go smoothly.

McDermott was prevented from having to take action when the officer changed his mind and asked to join the 52nd fleet. McDermott immediately placed all involved under arrest and the investigation is only beginning. | ||

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]]. | |||

Most recently Eric has formed a friendship with a Vulcan Security officer [[T'vel]] Whom he met while they were both transfering to the [[USS Dennison]]. | |||
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. | Much of Eric's emotional development came about as a result of his intimate relationship with Nimitz Ships Counselor [[Cecilia Bruce]].

However due to his shame and remorse for his previous bigoted attitudes he is still uncomfortable around many Betazoids. | ||
McDermott had begun to abandon the cold front that he presented to the world for so many years but his recent breakup with [[Cecilia Bruce]] has caused him to revert somewhat.

McDermott's inability to function socially with others in the past made him somewhat of a recluse. While he has vastly improved since going on active duty he is still a loner who is more interested in his duty and career than anything else. He is however more open to joining others in social activities than he has been in the past. Until recently he had no real experience with women but his recent, short but intense relationship, with [[Cecilia Bruce]] has changed that.

Due to his lack of social abilities and due to his troubled past, Eric was very nearly dismissed from the Academy as Star Fleet Psych-Profiling indicated he was only marginal at best for adjusting to the 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 while at his first command, to ensure he was able to cope with life in Star Fleet. | Due to his lack of social abilities and due to his troubled past, Eric was very nearly dismissed from the Academy as Star Fleet Psych-Profiling indicated he was only marginal at best for adjusting to the Starfleet lifestyle.

McDermott’s rise through the ranks has been meteoric and his accomplishments have been impressive by any estimation. McDermott has taken his advancement in stride and shows no signs that he feels overwhelmed or even nervous about the increased responsibility that he has gained so quickly.
