vs. Sybok/TNG Borg/rainbow leaders
The spaceline layout worked in my favour, with the duplicated Hostage Crisis right in the middle of five Neutral Zone planets and therefore separated from Mathew's remaining missions (including a NZ space and his other reporting spot, Foster New Collective). Like Maggie, he had Spacelab Regula One for extra stops.
I went for the two planets on the far end, and was hoping Sybok wouldn't come out proselytizing right away. Test for Weakness was done on t3 for 15 points, with 5 more from GUYS, and I jumped into the first attempt:
at Covid Installation: *Unscientific Method (lucky escape without a kill!) - *Ancient Computer and Microvirus - *Computer Weapon and *Hyper-Aging. The Computer Weapon hit me completely by surprise, and I lost my second copy of Prepare Landing Party, a Going to the Top that I forgot to play on Mathew's turn, and a ship from hand. But at least the mission was set up for the easy solve next turn, or so I thought. I went in with full skill redundancy to deal with the random Spacelab stop, but Mathew had a Double Dumbass ready for an extra stop. Luckily, I still had enough to deal with the dilemma and acquire the Genesis Device.
at Investigate Decaying Radiation: Prawns fetched *No Loose Ends (which cost me my Battle Cruiser download to find a third SCIENCE) and The Vengeance Factor, which in turn grabbed Microvirus and The Gatherers, which stopped me. After those, next turn it was *Dangerous Liaisons and Temptations of the Flesh. I didn't have the missions skills after those stops, so stopped at my own Sarjenka to make sure I would get to 140 even if a Remember the Alamo took out my SECURITY Preserver Obelisk guy.
Mathew didn't seem to have best of draws and couldn't use his play/download engines to full effect. He was also slowed down by having his Sybok/J'Onn travel from the Planet of Galactic Peace over to his other locations to team up with the other guys.
