Card Extra

Ancient Computer & Microvirus from Kathy McCracken (09/25/2000)

When your opponent sees you seed only two cards under his mission, he won't be expecting that to add up to three dilemmas. Get double duty from a seed slot and surprise your opponent with a tough "space" wall dilemma at a planet location with this combo dilemma.

Once he has the requirements to pass both the Ancient Computer and the Microvirus, that well-equipped Away Team or crew will present plenty of victims for whatever condition-less dilemmas you choose to follow up the combo with. Of course, if he happens to pass the Ancient Computer on first encounter but doesn't also have both MEDICAL and SECURITY present, you get to choose a victim to die.

Combos:

• Access Denied + DNA Clues + Ancient Computer & Microvirus: Up the combo requirements to 3 each of MEDICAL and Computer Skill, SCIENCE, or ENGINEER, plus a SECURITY.
• Ancient Computer & Microvirus + Phased Matter: While your opponent is concentrating on getting three of either SCIENCE or ENGINEER, plus the MEDICAL and SECURITY, will he think to include both SCIENCE and ENGINEER? If not, he's probably in for a serious delay before he can dephase his Away Team and complete the mission.
