By rule, the default species of Federation is Human, and this iteration of the card does not say anything about species.my response to this is "Shouldn't the species of all people by Hologram???" and looks like this was bounced around last year already......

so i subscribe to the "just leave it alone, these personnel aren't used that often and its not hurting anything" response given.
That being said, shouldn't she be tagged with Betazoid as well?

Does that answer the Q? I'm in a rush and might not be interpreting it right.
All Away Team members with INTEGRITY<5 are killed unless thermal deflectors present. Discard dilemma.Over the next year, there were some, ah, shall we say, challenges involving the details of the timing rules. One thing led to another, and Decipher ended up updating the text on both Emergency Transporter Armbands (to prevent it being used mid-dilemma) and Firestorm (to allow ETA to work just for this dilemma) in the Beta printing. The new wording was:
All Away Team memebrs with INTEGRITY<5 are killed unless thermal deflectors present OR Away Team escapes using emergency transporter armbands. Discard dilemma.No, they didn't capitalize either of those card titles, grah, 1995 card standards, I know it made sense at the time.
Firestorm - Errata:I can't tell whether this errata was ever actually printed. Decipher ran on the Magic: The Gathering system of errata, where it would print errata in the Glossary and expect you to find it there, and only actually put errata on a card if the card was reprinted. Firestorm was included in Trouble With Tribble Starters in 2000, but what I do not know is whether any of those cards were reprints, or just leftover WB-Beta Firestorms from the Decipher warehouses. So it's possible that TwT Firestorm had the correct text, possible it didn't, possible some do and some don't.Kills all Away Team members with INTEGRITY<5This replaces the errata from the Beta print run. The old text referring to Thermal Deflectors is redundant because that event specifies that it nullifies Firestorm.unless thermal deflectors present(but Away Team may escape using Emergency Transporter Armbands). Discard dilemma.
Kills all Away Team members with INTEGRITY<5 unless thermal deflectors present (but Away Team may escape using Emergency Transporter Armbands). Discard dilemma.This restores the redundant text that Decipher had removed in the 1999 errata, but keeps the rephrasing of the second clause that Decipher imposed in the 1999 errata. Honestly, it feels like a typo. I can't find any record of anyone intending to overwrite the 1999 Firestorm errata with a new errata... but it does seem like that's what happened. It's an erroneous errata!
