Time Travel Core Team
A friend and I once pieced together a team of people from the seminary that would be good to have if we ever did some serious time traveling. It’s necessary to keep the team small, so we have to choose wisely who should go.
The primary concern (if there will be any interaction with natives from the destination time period) is to have someone who knows several languages and — more importantly — can pick up a new language very quickly.
We need someone with a good general or Macgyver-like knowledge. Someone who can solve problems with random and variable resources. This is the sort of person who can learn the rules of a system and then work effectively within that system to get the job done.
We need someone who is skilled in combat in case things get hairy.
Less crucial but useful crew members include:
Explosives expert.
Computer expert (this may also be the Macgyver mentioned above).
Medical expert.
Historian.
I’ve had dreams about traveling back in time before. In these cases, I recall shuffling through available languages, ultimately settling on Latin in each case.
