Jason also has Tech Use and Forbidden Lore: Xenos... and Thraxius has been studying Xenos lore, right?  So with some xp, there are three of us with a good chance at this.<br/><br/>I'd like to find out the actual stats on the "sensor device" as well.<br/><br/>Sometime in the future, instead of refitting the ships we have, perhaps we should put together something custom from the various parts we find... use the best hull we can salvage, and cherry pick the best components into a truly nasty vessel of our own design.<br/><br/>In any case, we should create a survey team for the target ship and check it out for traps... and make sure we can proceed with the salvage operation safely.  As I said before, Baromir, Thraxius, Sarah and Jason all have the appropriate skills for this sort of mission.
