During her time on Geneva, Bruce met several new officers who like her were all transferring to the Nimitz, but one stood out from the rest for her, Ensign [[Eric McDermott]]. She immediately knew that she felt something for him, but their duties kept them apart during the crisis on Geneva. At the conclusion of the mission during a going away party in Ten Forward, Bruce had the opportunity to dance with Eric and it was a life changing experience for both. 

The couple eventually overcame many personal challenges due to the powerful bond that had rapidly developed between them. And the end result was that the couple 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]]. During that mission Bruce was forced to link minds with McDermott in order to face a telepathic attack and she was inadvertently able to learn much about Eric’s past that even he himself no longer remembered. The revelation terrified her causing her to ask for a transfer off of the [[USS Nimitz]] and take a leave of absence from Starfleet. 

It also put a tragic end to the relationship between herself and McDermott.
