Broken Links [BL-A6-10] G. La Forge to Mess Hall

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game... more Broken Links from Apocalypse Rising! This time: More Anti-Time and Food-serving options...

BROKEN LINKS:
[6] G. La Forge
[7] Hospital
[8] Krenim Timeship
[9] Cards that allow changelings to fly through space without a ship
[10] Mess Hall

NOTES: 
[6] As with Ambassador Picard, G. La Forge (his pen name now that he's an author) was left dangling on the Anti-Time (Future) Time Location [A200]. Note that the La Forge brood (as well as Nell Chilton and Professor Data) referenced on that card DID make it into AtoZ so are not Broken Links. Source: "All Good Things..."
[7] My inspiration was the Infirmary Site, a way to get those kinds of effects from a straight facility. Hospital was an option in a list that included Infirmary on the Heart Attack dilemma [A323]. You can only build one Hospital and it can report (even heal) every affiliation. Source: "In the Flesh"
[8] Annorax [Enhanced A30] is matching commander to this ship, which Decipher only got to in 2nd edition (the ship was called Kyana's Hope). It's also one of the requirements on Wipe Out Timeline (Enhanced A14]. On the show, its time coreG kept it protected from even the passage of time, so I've decided to make its Shields dependent on the AU Door. Source: "Year of Hell, Part I"
[9] While the changeling-related card promised by Through the Anti-Back Flow Valve (Enhanced A31] will appear later in these Broken Links, I also wanted to create the changeling who was seen pulling that trick (giving him a download for that card) AND, at the same time, add to Fixed Link's [B131] non-Dominion changelings. Source: "Chimera"
[10] The creation of Food cards references the Mess Hall from the beginning, and it's appeared on several cards already, like Airponics Bay [A45]. I will be doing a Ten-Forward at some point, once it actually appears in game text. Originally, I thought the Site would be specific to Voyager, but we've seen Mess Halls on other shows (even on non-Federation ships which have Forward Sections rather than Saucer sessions, these terms are interchangeable), so I went with something basic and generic, with a bit of Voyager flavor thrown in. Source: Voyager sets.

Next up: And you thought shuttles were small.

Cards: G. La Forge, Hospital, Krenim Timeship, Laas, Mess Hall

[A1-5] 'audet IX to Abandoned

Back in the late 90s, when I was deep into the Star Trek Collectible Card Game world, one of the projects I was doing on Decipher's Bulletin Boards was a massive set of dream cards under the banner "AtoZ" (with respect to Mr. Atoz of "All Our Yesterdays"). Essentially, I took the Star Trek Encyclopedia and attempted to create an ST CCG dream card for every entry, unless the character or concept already had a card, and I think at the time, Decipher didn't have access to TOS and the movies, so those seem to be excluded as well. I got to the middle of the M's, which accounts for thousands of cards. But the thing, see, is that none of those cards had graphics. They were all just text-based. Recently, I reconnected with the ST CCG community, some of them working with the Continuing Committee, which is still making new cards. They hooked me up with excellent templates from which to bring dream cards to life. And so I've gone back to my notes a...

[A147-155] Amphibian to Ancestral Spirits

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. Hey, our first persona... THE ENTRIES: [147] amphibian [148] AMU [149] analeptic [150] anapestic tetrameter NOTES:  [147] She is a persona of Deanna Troi. Source: "Genesis" [148] Why if Range greater than 6? First, it encourages slower ships who need to see the outside of a binder. Second, because those ships have the bigger warp core, which leaks worse stuff. Source: "Threshold" [149] Of course, your personnel may still be mortally wounded. Hypospray's other uses cannot be used during the battle while the Event is in play - treat event's text as another "OR" clause on the equipment. Source: "Rise" [150] One function per foot in a line ;-) . Source: "Schisms" And now: Ooh, I get to skip everyone's favorite Gothic romance ghost! THE ENTRIES: [151] anaphasic life-form (no card requ...

[A156-165] Anchilles to Andorian

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. A couple of Program cards, incoming... THE ENTRIES: [156] Anchilles fever [157] Ancient Philosophies [158] Ancient West [159] Andarian glass bead [160] Andevian II  How Decipher handled it, for comparison: NOTES:  [156] Probing on a dilemma doesn't leave you much space to work with, does it? Source: While first mentioned in TNG's "Code of Honor", the virus was pictured in Enterprise's "Cold Station 12". [157] Something to seed yourself? I say "first artifact encountered" because there may be more than one under such missions as Orb Negotiations, and both opponents may have seeded one under the same mission. Source: "The Host" [158] None of the named characters were in the game when I made this card (which is naturally a Program under my scheme). Holodeck Adventures would make it an Incid...
