It's time for the final choice(s) for Pick a Promo 2022(3?). Three people submitted stories for the cards and you'll find the explanations below and the options above. To make things a little easier for me, the poll will have identifying information but the three selections will be in the same order they are presented. If you have any questions, let me know. Have your votes in by the end of the month. As always revoting is allowed and reasoning/persuasion is encouraged. I have trimmed some entries so as to not duplicate lore on other cards. Note that Creative reserves the right to shorten the lore as necessary to fit the space.

Without further ado, here are your choices for Distress Call:

1) Story: The Enterprise crew onboard the Bounty (ST4: The Voyage Home) receiving the planetary distress call from the Federation.
Image: An image of the viewscreen with the garbled image of the President from the Bounty bridge.
Lore: "This is the president of the United Federation of Planets. Do not approach Earth. The transmissions of an orbiting probe are causing critical damage to this planet. It has almost totally ionized our atmosphere. All power sources have failed. All its orbiting starships are powerless. The probe is vaporizing our oceans. We cannot survive unless a way can be found to respond to the probe. Further communications may not be possible. Save your energy. Save yourselves. Avoid the planet Earth at all costs. Farewell."

2) Story: Labin sending a call to Voyager
Image: Smiling Labin (Prime Factors, VOY)
Lore: “We have no emergency.” “But you're sending out a distress call.” ”Yes, we are.” “Why?’ “Because you are in distress.”

3) Story: Grebnedlog asking for help
Image: Samaritan Snare
Lore: " We are far from home. We need help."

I voted for "Prime Factors" just because it seems like the other two images might be of better use for other/new cards.
