Welcome to Fill in the Blank Season 3: Decipher!

Each week I'll post the collector’s information for one of the cards in the set’s card-list.

Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the card-list, keeping in mind the surrounding cards. As the contest progresses, the card-list will become more and more defined, guiding the contestants’ choices.

The theme of our set is Decipher! You're free to interpret this how you want, but in my mind, I found myself going down one of two rabbitholes, those being...

• the secretive, possibly •Intelligence based path, or
• the keyword path (keyword's being the key to deciphering ciphers)

Not every card has to fit the theme, of course, but it’s something to keep in mind when coming up with entries.

Each week a poll will go up for the previous week's entries. Simply vote for one you like the most. In the event of a tie, I'll let a random result generator make the decision.

Last week's winner...

This week’s contest is...

Card #19!

We've now got card #17 (the newly interred Rukani Sector, Commandeer Federation Vessel) and card #21 was decided weeks ago as the Borg affiliated personnel Eleven of Twenty-Three, Decryption Drone. That means #19's going to fall between the two. That gives you...

• a mission (after Rukani Sector, Commandeer Federation Vessel)
• a personnel
• a personnel (before Eleven of Twenty-Three, Decryption Drone)

Closing date: Thursday 14th May(ish - I'll see how the entries come in, and if an extension's required/requested, we'll take it from there).

Good luck!

Note: This'll be a 36 card set.

My Entry:

2 *Seska, 'Bajoran' Agent

Cardassian

Intelligence, Programming, Science, Treachery

Bajoran Resistance. Infiltrator.
While this personnel is facing a dilemma, you may discard the top card of your deck to make her gain a skill on a personnel in your discard pile until the end of that dilemma.

"Oh, thank the Prophets!"

Integrity: 3, Cunning: 6, Strength: 5

Notes:

I was surprised to discover we don't have a Seska, so I made one. As this is Seska pre-Caretaker she doesn't have quite the skill set of the Cardassian Agent, nor deviousness of her Pragmatic persona. But she is slightly less treacherous, or at least pretending to be, which ups her Integrity by a point. She has Bajoran Resistance as the expanded universe establishes she was originally assigned to infiltrate them. Finally her talent for adapting is reflected in her ability, which starts out Cardassian, before becoming Bajoran with a Maquis twist.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.
