Kathleen TonellInspired in 2063 with a new view of humanity's place in the cosmos, her work helped end post-atomic horror and led to world government in 2113. Non-aligned Characteristics: "2063 Earth"-related cards, Card logging info: Logged by openCards team at May 1st, 2009. |  |
Anthropology This Card-Review article was written by Neil Kirby and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Jan 11th, 1998.
So, pictured we have a young woman who looks like she could use a tissue, and clearly went on to greater things after the film according to her card text. So what's useful about her?
Kathleen Tonell's arrival on the STCCG scene is very timely for a number of reasons. Her one skill, anthropology, has always been handy but rarely critical, but the advent of FC changes that picture somewhat. First reason - Primitive Culture
, with its gazillion "OR"'s but few really good ways to get past it. The easiest....CIVILIAN + Anthropology - hey she fits! She's also handy with Worshippers that seem to be crawling out of the binders again now that Balancing Act
ensures that you'll have a place to seed it. Well, there are other ways of getting those skills, the best being IMO Madam Guinan
or the affiliated Anthropologists. But here Kathleen's limitations actually help you out - she only has this one skill.......mission specialist no less. Hence she comes when called, no tenting to find her or praying for a good draw.
Who does that help most? Well, the Feds have Darian Wallace
who is similarly gifted in AMS terms, so her main benefit is for the Romulans (especially, with the Klingons following close behind.
So there you are - Kathleen Tonell, your local friendly anthropology AMS for all seasons. I just hope she gets over that cold soon so she can go on to cause peace in the 22nd century.
Combo:
- Kathleen Tonell + Assign Mission Specialists
- even I can work that one out.
