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 WeyounsLastClone and his Cascade Failure for becoming the tenth card to enter the set.

Last week's entries to pick from for Card #24...

My Entry:

2 *Alidar Jarok, '"Sublieutenant Setal'

Romulan

Navigation, Officer, Programming

Commander: Tiaru. Dissident.
While this personnel is facing a dilemma, you may discard a card from hand to replace him with a personnel from your hand. He or she joins this mission attempt. Place this personnel in your discard pile.

“I've sacrificed everything. It must not be in vain.”

Integrity: 4, Cunning: 6, Strength: 5

Notes:

One of the things that's always bugged me about Alternate Identity is that it is a perfectly Romulan cheater card, that you can't use during a mission attempt. So I figured a new version of Jarok was the next best thing. The Tiaru is Jarok's Romulan Scout Vessel. It was unnamed in the episode, so I've named it for his daughter as established in several novels and Star Trek Online. Speaking of which.

Bonus Card:

5 *Tiaru, Forlorn Hope

Lanora-Class

This ship is attributes +1 for each Dissident aboard (limit +3.)

Romulan Scout Vessel that crossed into Federation space in 2366. Equipped with a self destruct system to avoid falling into the wrong hands. Briefly named for Admiral Jarok's daughter.

Range: 7, Weapons: 6, Shields: 6

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.
