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...

Congratulations to MattgomeryScott and his Kanon Fodar for becoming the seventh card to enter the set.

Last week's entries to pick from for Card #19...

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.

(2) •Kira Nerys, "Luma Rahl"
Bajoran

•Physics •Programming •Security
Assassin. Bajoran Resistance.
Order - Return this personnel to her owner's hand and kill your personnel present to kill an opponent's personnel present.

"I don't need your company. But if you'd like to stay and share the heat with me, maybe tell me something about home that I don't know, then I would welcome your company."
Integrity 6 Cunning 4 Strength 4

Card #36!

The last card (numerically) in the set! The nearest established card we have is card #33 (GooeyChewie's U.S.S. Defiant, Imposing Warship). That means we've got to have one of the following:

• a ship (after U.S.S. Defiant, Imposing Warship)
• a ship
• a ship
• a ship
• a ship
• a ship

Closing date: Friday 22nd 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.
