    Picard's Artificial Heart

    You might have lived if you'd had a real one, instead of this unreliable piece of technology.

    Q-Card Q-Card - Artifact

    Immediately seed under this mission (even if a space mission). When mission comleted (or scouted), owner places in hand until played as an Interrupt card, once per game, on any one personnel in play. That personnel dies whenever that personnel's STRENGTH is used. (May be nullified only by Katherine Pulaski, if present.)

    Quote from Fajo Collection Rules Supplement:

    This card can be stocked only in your Q-Continuum side deck. When your opponent experiences it, immediately seed it under the mission being attempted. Whenever the mission is completed (or scouted, as defined in the First Contact rules), you – the card’s “owner” – always take it into your hand (unlike a normal artifact, which is earned by the player completing the mission).

    BEHIND THE SCENES:
    The only existing Q artifact! Creating cards like this one is a labor of love for Decipher artists. We’ve always employed a proprietary software system to obtain state-of-the-art “frame pulls” from Paramount’s digital masters. (This process is over fifty times more expensive than other systems typically used to obtain card images.) Although these digital pulls are of extraordinary quality, our artists further enhance them, using talent and computing power rivaling that used to make today’s best motion picture special effects. Also, in The Fajo Collection, special printing techniques are used to elevate card images to levels never before achieved in any collectable card game. In the case of Picard’s Artificial Heart, the surface of the heart is printed with a fifth color of metallic blue ink and a sixth color of metallic gold.
