    (Before I start here, take a moment to appreciate that I refrained from using lyrics from Simon and Garfunkel here. You're welcome.)

    Sure, the Feds have lots of ENGINEERs. But you'll still find plenty of reasons to put Miss Robinson in your deck. For starters, a female ENGINEER isn't the easiest thing to find. Youth puts her on the good side of Ooby Doobyimage decks. And Anthropology is a rare skill to find Ð only a half dozen Feds have it, and as of Trouble With Tribbles she's the only ENGINEER, making decks using Anthropology-based missions slightly tighter.

    Of course, Transporter Skill is the key skill here. With the onslaught of Tribbles, and the ever-present threat of Orion Syndicate Bombimage looming overhead, every source of Transporter Skill is handy.

    Last, there's the special download. Pattern Enhancersimage may not be used much, but the ability to sidestep such annoying cards as Distortion Fieldimage can be a life saver when you need to move quickly.

    Combo:

    • B.G. Robinson + Pattern Enhancersimage + Visit Cochrane Memorialimage + Distortion Fields: Prevent your opponent from beaming to Earth and opposing you at the Memorial, while still being able to beam yourself. (And Robinson can even probe!)
