Expedition Dossier
Designation: Luna
Role: Reconnaissance & Tracking
Primary Function: still gathering information...
Secondary Function: still gathering information...
Luna is responsible for exploring the surroundings and providing the initial assessment of new situations in the field.
She operates well ahead of the expedition unit, taking the lead in surveying unknown terrain.
Her sense of smell is exceptionally developed, allowing her to form remarkably accurate assessments even in complex situations.
She detects traces long before others even realize there is something to discover.
Standing still is not an option for Luna.
There is always something worth investigating.
Background
Luna grew up on the streets alongside Lili, a jet-black dog. The two spent years traveling the world as nomads.
During their journeys — including extended time in India — Luna developed her exceptional sense of smell and learned to read tracks and analyze scents, often before others even realized there was anything to detect.
Despite her background as a street dog and her slightly chaotic nature, she somehow managed to earn an honorary doctorate — presumably for outstanding achievements in the field of olfactory analysis.

Leisure Preferences
-
Continuously investigates new scents, sounds, and objects
-
Alternates between bursts of intense activity and short, highly effective recovery phases
