[GooeyChewie]

Welcome to Fill in the Blank, the set-building dream card contest!


Each week I will post the collector’s information for one of the cards in the set’s cardlist. Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the cardlist, keeping in mind the surrounding cards. As the contest progresses, the cardlist will become more and more defined, guiding the contests’ choices.


The theme of our set is The Villains of Star Trek. Not every card has to fit the theme, of course, but it’s something to keep in mind when voting. Speaking of voting, as per normal each contestant will vote for one of the previous week’s entries (with the exception that as the contest runner, I will vote ONLY in the case of a tie).




Our winner from last week: DJStormtrooper!

Notes: Colonel West from the Undiscovered Country (well the extended cut anyway.) As with the film, he can get off a shot, but if he tries for a second it costs him his life.

Notes 2: Goes to post. See's Danny's entry.... Damnit!

Notes 3: Well, I haven't got any other ideas, so going to stick with this one. Whilst they share a title, they're different takes on the character.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.

You're welcome

Notes 3: Well, I haven't got any other ideas, so going to stick with this one. Whilst they share a title, they're different takes on the character.

Quite so. Infiltrator I can see (although one might argue he was supposed to be there, albeit in a different capacity), but it's interesting you went with Admiral - I read something about him having an admiral's uniform, but as they called him Colonel (not a naval/Starfleet term), I thought I couldn't swing it. Assassin - obviously.

My skills are totally non-canon - Memory Beta book references give his background.

Also, I went with Cunning 5 as I couldn't justify anyone who gets taken out by Scotty as having Cunning >5

[Nate Winchester]

Given he was wearing a different face, I think he should have shape-shifter! XD

Interesting. As for my take:

Admiral is a reference to the confusion over his uniform. It's also possible that he held ranks in two branches of Starfleet (the Marine Corps as referenced by being referred to as Colonel, and it appearing on one of the charts; "space force" by the uniform and the plan heavily involving starships.) Also according to Memory Beta in a divergent timeline he rose to be head of Starfleet, using the rank of Admiral, so figured it made sense.

Infiltrator is because he's a Federation person impersonating a Klingon to act against the Klingons (and Federation.) This is in keeping with the general rule of thumb that 2E seems to use that a person infiltrating an affiliation for their benefit gains the new affiliation and is a non-infiltrator (e.g. Jean-Luc Picard, Bearer of Ill Tidings , Data, From the City of Rateg ) while those that are operating against the affiliation generally retain their original affiliation and have Infiltrator (e.g. Bashir Founder , Geordi La Forge, Sleeper Agent who was also supposed to be where he was, just not trying to kill someone. )

My Skills are also based on Memory Beta, though I tried to keep the skill list limited due to wanting to keep his cost down with the powerful ability. I went with Exobiology for being able to impersonate a Klingon well enough to fool most people, and Navigation for planning Operation Retrieve. And I cut Officer and Intelligence again to keep the skill count down.

Cunning 6 felt right for being one of the key conspirators and planning Operation Retrieve, and I was representing him being stopped by Scotty through the ability. (He can get off one shot, but if he pushes his luck he gets killed.

Subtitle was following on from the others... though my alternate subtitle would be "About To Kick The Bucket" which seems appropriate seeing he would go on to play Odo.

And I didn't feel I had space for lore, but like the one you went with.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.
