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 Naetor and his Vornar, Loyal Glinn for becoming the fourteenth card to enter the set.

Last week's entries to pick from for Card #15...

"Where are we?"



Span -2-

Notes:

Based on “Through the Looking Glass.” I thought it would be interesting to do a non-Mirror mission which benefits Mirror decks. So here the player uses their engineering know how, and a little brute force persuasion or tech, to grab someone from the main universe. In return they gain an advantage with a mission in the Mirror Universe. And Smiley has all the skills, because he's just that much of a badass.

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.

•Earth, Starfleet Headquarters

You may play cards and equipment at this mission.
Region: 001.
Order - Stop your unique Admiral here to place a or personnel from your hand on this mission. At the end of this turn, place that personnel on the bottom of his or her owner's deck.

(3) •Dataport
Crime. When a dilemma is about to be revealed at your mission, you may stop your thief present to name a dilemma. When your personnel are about to face that dilemma, it is overcome instead. This effect last until the end of the mission attempt.
"Too bad. That's an expensive piece of hardware."

[rferries]

•0 Desk Crystal

You may play this equipment aboard your ship with its corresponding Archaeology Commander aboard as though you commanded a completed mission requiring Archaeology. When you play this equipment, draw a card.
Order - Stop your Commander present to return this equipment to its owner's hand.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard kept a small transparent crystal on the desk in his ready room aboard the USS Enterprise-D. He often played with the small stone when he had to make an important decision. His first officer, William T. Riker, also did so on occasion.

Bonus (because I brewed these up before realising I had mixed up Arik Soong with Noonien Soong):

•0 Noonien Soong's Hologram
Artifact. (To play this card, you must have completed a mission requiring Acquisition, Anthropology, or Archaeology.) When your Android present begins a mission attempt, you may reveal three Androids from hand to subtract one from the number of dilemmas your opponent may draw and one from the total cost he or she may spend on dilemmas.
Whoever you are, if you're watching this, you must have found out about Juliana. I programmed this hologram to answer any questions you might have. I'm Noonian Soong... I created her.

5 •Noonien Soong, Long-Lost Father
Human
•2 Engineer •Physics •3 Programming •2 Science
You may play Androids at this mission. When you are about to lose command of your Android present, you may reveal three Androids from hand to stop that Android instead.
"You know what Michelangelo used to say? The sculptures he made were already there before he started, hidden in the marble. All he had to do was remove the unneeded bits. It wasn't quite that easy with you Data. But the need to do it, my need to do it, was no different than Michelangelo's need."
Integrity 6 Cunning 7 Strength 2

(2) Temporal Causality Loop
This dilemma is cost +1 for each Temporal event in your opponent's discard pile. Unless you have Engineer, Physics, Science and Cunning>32, all your personnel are stopped. When this dilemma is about to be overcome, its owner may destroy their Temporal event to return it to their dilemma pile.
"Let's see if we can find out how long we've been in this..."

[MattgomeryScott]

2 *Captain's Chair.

Plays on your unique ship. When your corresponding Commander aboard this ship is about to be killed by a dilemma, you may destroy this equipment to prevent that.
Order: Name a unique personnel. While that personnel is aboard this ship, he or she is the corresponding Commanders of this ship. This effect lasts until this order is executed again.

"People don't enter Starfleet to become commanders, or admirals for that matter. It's the captain's chair that everyone has their eye on."

All the Best,

Mattgomery Scott.
