Non OTU: Crew of Lynne’s Escape

Aboard a covert survey ship, we find three life signs...
Another strange ship's crew for Traveller. Not Canon. Closest to T4.
Linked with Bestiary here and IISS here <link pending>

He speaks Zhodani (Zdetl), Anglic, and Aslan (Trokh). He is Medic/Electrician aboard ship. He is a "Trekkie" and has seen every episode of Star Trek a late 20th Century Earth vid program.

The three members of the crew met on Utoland in the Federation of Arden in 784. The Lynne’s Escape crew hires out to governments, navy or IISS to perform initial contact surveys, often on a covert basis. The Lyne’s Escape has worked for SolSec, IISS, Imperial Navy, and SORAG.

Thanks for reading.
 
Looks like an interesting crew.

Question - is TL15 available in 784? I thought it came much later.

Thanks for your post. Yes, you noticed that too. The Darrians and Imperials had some limited alliance as early as 593.

Though the Zhodani were horrified when the Darrians started exerting influence on worlds that they considered theirs during the 700's particularly within the Far Frontiers sector.
It seems the Darrians may have had some limited treaty and trade with the Zhodani as well, at least IMTU.

I suspect the Lynne's Escape was an experimental TL 15 design exploration and survey ship from Daryen. Reverse engineered from the Pre-Maghiz earlier warships.

Thanks for reading.
 
Medical 3 (a doctor ?) and medical 2 in the same crew. Well set up in case of emergency.

Yes, thanks for the post. These are the crew of a covert frontier exploration ship.

Andyne “Dyno” Patte may have been trained as a doctor in the traditional sense of going to school and graduating. He does not call himself a doctor. Perhaps he worked as an emergency medical technician for a coroner or pathologist. He is qualified as a Ship's Doctor in that he could skillfully use a low berth or ELB and is capable of doing emergency medical or surgical procedures. He does have an interest in doing medical experiments particularly on aliens. He is driven to find new species and learn about them using his surgical instruments. He probably should have some Blade skills. At least Blade-0.

Thanks for reading.
