Another of the tough new "fate worse than death" dilemmas, Vantika's Neural Pathways is tough even on affiliations that have stations! Assuming you do have an Infirmary in play (and MEDICAL and Transporter Skill), you still will have to return home to cure this dilemma after a mission attempt. It wipes out INTEGRITY, classification and skills (substituting in Treachery x2), making that personnel good for next to nothing, yet it leaves them alive - sure to frustrate fans of multiple mains or Genetronic Replicator!
Combos:
- Vantika's Neural Pathways + Hate Crime + Framed for Murder: A gauntlet of "fates worse than death" that ought to ruin most any mission attempt.
- Assign Mission Specialists + Parem + Selok + any other personnel + self-seeded Vantika's Neural Pathways + opponent's Wormhole Negotiations: I did say next to nothing... you can create a Treachery x2 personnel to accompany Parem and Selok on the way to 55 points!
