Broken Links [BL-B6-10] Espionage: Federation on Romulan to Forra Gegen

More Broken Links... This time: Introducing a Q-Personnel.

BROKEN LINKS:
[6] Espionage: Federation on Romulan
[7] Baseball personnel
[8] Q personnel
[9] Food Fight
[10] Voth personnel

NOTES: 
[6] Barber Shop [B65] downloads it (it's a reference to Mot making the wigs). Source: "Unification I"
[7] As promised, more baseball characters. If used, Baseball goes to the point area, so her special ability recovers one that wasn't actually used. As for the persona problem, I've never liked that Jadzia Dax was listed on the Ezri cards - let her be her own person! also, it's clunky for the lore - so here's the ruling: The "surname" Dax is a persona unto itself (unless an AU) and can't be in play together. Whatever persona is in bold can switch with that persona (so Decipher's Ezris can switch with Jadzia, but this Ezri can only switch with an Ezri. If all else fails, remember the episode "Facets". Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"
[8] Q-icon personnel must be stocked in the Q-Continuum side-deck and all follow the following rules: They immediately report anywhere on opponent's side of the table (from the point of view of the player encountering the Q-Flash). They are played as opponent's own until any Q-Flash (usually). They may not be killed, disabled, placed in stasis or captured except by an opposing Q-Personnel (they are always "stopped" instead). If the Q-Personnel has a persona listed, the "immediately reports" clause makes it impossible to switch personae again and keep the Q-Personnel in hand until AFTER a Q-Flash and re-report them. They must always be "immediately played", so are always in play. A Q-Personnel was required of Q Reincarnated [B145] and while there IS one in AtoZ somewhere, it could use more. Her special skill allows her ship to move to other quadrants and Time Locations. Source: "The Q and the Gray"
[9] Imagine your Jem'Hadar getting killed by a birthday cake... Banana Split [B55] downloads it. Source: "Suddenly Human"
[10] Bio-Dart [B+47] references Voth personnel, so I've created a little subset of Voth cards in this batch of Broken Links. This is only the first. Source: "Distant Origin"

Next up: A bunch of Non-Aligneds.

Cards: Espionage: Federation on Romulan, Fancy Dax, Female Q, Food Fight, Forra Gegen

    The persona rules for the Daxes is causing you a problem here. Fancy Dax is a version of Ezri Dax. Ezri Dax (from Holodeck Adventures) is herself a version of Jadzia Dax. So is Fancy a version of Jadzia? If not, is it possible to have them both in play together, and then swap one for Ezri and end up with two versions of the same persona together?

    This is, if course, created by Decipher trying to avoid the trek sense problem of Ezri and Jadzia meeting, and (ab)using the persona rules to achieve that when they created Ezri. I'm not sure what better answer there is to this, but what they came up with is not an ideal solution.

      And yet, I have to work in the framework they laid out.

      But I did find it clunky to always be naming Jadzia, so let's imagine a rule that all Daxes (unless AU) can't exist together, but that an Ezri Dax can only "replace" an Ezri Dax with the persona rule.

    Forra Gegen! awesome. Voyager's hamfisted attempt at the Silurian hypothesis...
    To my mind, the Voyager crew would have become a flotilla / "wagon train of the stars",
    all these different factions from the 37ers on,
    would join Voyager's journey home.
    Forra Gegen ought to have been a recurring guest star, granted asylum on Voyager, along with any other exiled Voth or free Voth who wanted to visit earth.

[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...

Apocalypse Rising Virtual Pack

I didn't do this for EVERY letter, but the first two AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs of 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 100 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 100 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 113 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's B's. Note that Enhanced Apocalypse Rising would have been 4 special packs with set card lists, and A's Broken Links would have come in a 40-page box, so those cards aren't in the booster.

Broken Links [BL-B26-30] Species 8472 to The Net

More Broken Links... This time: 8472! BROKEN LINKS: [26] Species 8472 [27] Strike! [28] Baseball personnel [29] Ten-Forward [30] The Net NOTES:   [26] Needed to staff Bioships [B+49] and support all those 8472 infiltrators. In personnel battle, hand weapons don't count against them, they can't be negatively affected by Equipment cards. I almost made them unable to mix, but they definitely worked with Voyager a few times, so I've just made it more difficult to do so. Source: "Prey" [27] The card can be nullified by Bunt [B+74]. You either continue without effect, lose a personnel, or get stopped, but a "Ball" result may lose you some cards from the deck. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [28] Captain Solok has the matching Nemesis icon. Source: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" [29] In the list of Food-serving sites in the not to [B17]. U.S.S. Enterprise-D personnel are those that specifically reference the ship in their lore. Other ...
