    Rule hint for this card

    This card has an erratum:

    When it was originally released, Halkan Council had a simple job of specifying which cards were native to its timeline. That requirement was the The Original Series and Marqui icons. Unlike Sherman's Peak, there was no mention of Alternate Universe.  It didn't need it. At that time, all The Original Series Mirror Quadrant cards were from the episode "Mirror, Mirror", and so of course they were Alternate Universe . Now we have Crossover: An Invitation. It adds Mirror Quadrant to your Alpha Quadrant personnel while they report. And so you can report Lt. Dax, among others, as The Original Series Mirror Quadrant.  Bam, she's bizarrely native to Halkan Council for that report. We're now adding Alternate Universe as a requirement for nativity, to close that loophole.

    A Sherman's Peakimage for the mirror OS personnel? Actually, it's much better, as the "report for free" function is built into the card. You don't need no stinkin' K-7 - and that place must stink with all those tribbles on it! ;-) It also downloads a Mirror Quadrant Constitution-class ship (even the unique I.S.S. Enterpriseimage) for those mirror personnel to fly around with. Stockpile your Original Series Terran Empire cards there and Vortex the ship to the present! It can go back in time to get new loads of personnel at any time.

    That ship's first stop? Why, Mine Dilithiumimage, of course! You can even report its two little skills in a single turn, then reap the rewards of the mission's RANGE bonus, thankfully boosting those old I.S.S. ships' 23rd-century engines. I'd say starting out at a natural gas station is prime location. You know what they say: Real estate is everything.
