Traveller Inceptio

By Rob Shackleford

Traveller Inceptio follows the development of the Transporter, an accidental development as young, university PHD researchers seek to develop a new passenger and baggage scanner for the growing global security and Customs market. After intense testing, they determine that the device sends any subject one thousand years into the past. With their findings published, the enigmatic Transporter soon becomes known as a Time Machine, but with limitations, one of which it can only send anything one thousand years into the past.
Or is it into a possible past?
An audacious research project is devised to use the Transporter to conduct Historical Research to what is considered the safest target time, Medieval Saxon England. Fearful of the ability of 21st Century researchers to survive what is a very dangerous period in humanity's turbulent past, a crack international team of carefully selected Special Services soldiers undergo intensive training for their role as historical researchers.
The special researchers, called Travellers, are to be sent into Saxon England, with the intent that the researcher integrates into local society.
If sent a thousand years into the past, would anyone survive?
From the beaches of Australia to the forests of Saxon England, Traveller - Inceptio reveals how Travellers soon learn that they need more than combat skills and modern technology to survive the trails of early 11th Century life.
