Rivers biggest issue, one that multiple organizations look down on, is her constant belief of fusing her two passions. She thinks the infusion of man and machine is the next step. In countless situations Rivers has suggested or even tried to infuse tech into flesh. Mostly a mild curiosity it began taking center stage when she was assigned to a UNSC post where no one monitored her activiy. Even with minor wounds Rivers is always trying to substitute flesh for tech. This often leads to Rivers being at odds with other medical professionals. She has tendencies to do what she believes is in the patient's best interest rather than what is medically acceptable.
