 — Admiral Efram Asimov and Dr. Goodfellow aboard Searcher, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century's "Time of the Hawk"

Dr. Goodfellow is a scientist assigned to the starship Searcher in 2492 CE.

In his role aboard Searcher, Goodfellow offers scientific counsel to Admiral Efram Asimov and oversight of scientific operations of Earth Defense Directorate's officers. Also accompanying him Crichton, a robotic artificial intelligence of seemingly infinite knowledge and wisdom—who disbelieves that Goodfellow, much less any human, could have created it (BR25: "Time of the Hawk").
