Card Extra

Chula: The Lights from Kathy McCracken (07/1999)

While not random, Chula: The Lights is almost guaranteed to take out one of your better personnel. The personnel with total attributes in the range from 21-23 include the likes of Jean-Luc Picard (Prem), Kira Nerys, The Traveler, Dr. Telek R’Mor, Seven of Nine and all the Garaks. Redshirting past it is out of the question, as you still need CUNNING > 24 remaining to pass the wall.

Granted, the personnel isn't discarded, so you can just report him for duty again next turn - maybe. But if he was key to solving the mission, you may be in for a significant delay while you shuttle the replayed personnel back to the mission site.

Combos:

• Lack of Preparation + Chula: The Lights + Dixon Hill’s Business Card: Those most likely to be affected are unique personnel. Dix's Business Card, played as an event, will slow you down even further as you must report a universal first.
• Chula: The Lights + Masaka Transformations: You won't be reporting Jean-Luc again any time soon if he's on the bottom of your deck.
