List of "infiltratos" for Data and Geordi: |
This Card-Review article was written by Kathy McCracken and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Sep 25th, 2000.
If Geordi was characterized in the Premiere rulebook as a "super engineer" for his classification plus ENGINEER skill, then this dynamic duo must be an ultra-engineer, with three, count 'em, three ENGINEER on one card! They'll make short work of Ancient Computer, Birth of "Junior", Duonetic Field Generator, Automated Security System, or Install Autonomic Systems Parasite, and will boost your ship's SHIELDS by +6 with Nutational Shields in play. You'll never have a problem towing a Radioactive Garbage Scow or playing a Particle Fountain with this pair in your crew, either.
As if that weren't enough, let Geordi download his Tricorder (invaluable for enabling Borg Neuroprocessor, passing Founder Secret and Ferengi Bug, and defusing Tribble Bombs) and he (along with any other ENGINEER-classification personnel aboard) adds SCIENCE, while Data still contributes Music to a Ressikan Flute or for overcoming a Crystalline Entity.
If you need more Computer Skill, Astrophysics, Exobiology, or different special downloads, exchange the pair for a separate Geordi La Forge and Data from your hand at the start of your turn.
Combos:
- Data and Geordi + Rager + Explore Dyson Sphere: Data and Geordi provide everything you need but the Navigation, so why not get that from Rager and score her extra 5 points?
- Data and Geordi + Geordi La Forge and Premiere Data: Retain the 3 ENGINEER, add 2 more Computer Skill plus other skills, and get another special download, this time for Ocular Implants. Switch back to the dual-personnel card and Geordi keeps the implants.
