The doctor joined the crew under dramatic circumstances when she rushed in to treat Brock after he was injured during a fire fight.   The doctor is a quiet, unassuming woman but she can really take charge in an emergency.  She is known for her love of animals and is as comfortable on board ship as she is on land.

Rose, a cousin of the captain, also worked for the Brockman Freight Company until the demise of Brock's father.  She's a plucky, tiny woman who is known to carry a derringer in her waistband.  She knows her limitations but will fight to the death to save a shipmate if necessary.
