Wesley's STCCG card of the day #106

Hi, folks,

want versatility taken to the extreme ? Use this personnel card:

BEAMING CLONE

Personnel, Non-aligned, rare, Dream Card.
Integrity *
Cunning *
Strength *
Gets all skills and stats of one personnel of your choice at this outpost.
"Transporter Duplicates are the result of failed beaming under adverse cir- cumstances. They share not only their DNA but also their memories with the original."
Picture: Two identical Starfleet Officers facing each other.
This is not a card for the beginner as it requires a good amount of planning to use. First what you can NOT do with it: You cannot use it to get the Data or Picard you urgently need when he's still buried in the draw deck. You can only duplicate a personnel card already in play.

Situation one: You want to form two crews, each with a Roga Danar. No trouble - clone him.

Situation two: You need two of a skill you have only once (Diplomacy?). Clone the one person with the skill.

Situation three: You are playing a treaty deck. Your Rommie crew needs some Federation support but you don't get the treaty card. Clone your Feddie and transfer him to the Romulan ship (he's still non-aligned!)

The trouble with this: Timing! Once played, this clone can never again change the person he mimicks. So play it too early and get stuck with a bad choice. (However, there is a way out. Find a way to kill the clone and Res-Q it.)
