Not every card from the Mirror, Mirror expansion is from Deep Space Nine or The Original Series. Nope, the good Dr. Farralon is a Next Gen holdover. She developed the orbital Particle Fountain mining station which was being used at Tyrus VII-A in 2369. During upgrades of the station, she employed another one of her creations, an Exocomp, to work where living beings couldn't. Dr. Farralon was surprised when Data proved her Exocomps weren't merely "machines", but sentient beings.
The SCIENCE-ENGINEER combo is very unusual. She can nullify Phased Matter or Two-Dimensional Creatures alone or aid you in passing Quantum Fissure. Solve any 35-point planet mission first with one mission specialist... throw in a Particle Fountain with Dr. Farralon and you'll have 50 points... enough to pass Dead End before attempting a second mission. And don't forget about using her special download of an Exocomp to repair a ship away from an outpost in two full turns.
Dr. Farralon can also help you out in solving missions. She and Inge Eiger can complete Mining Survey for 45 points, while she and Danderdag (a support personnel) can solve the non-Federation Study Cometary Cloud mission together.
Combos:
- Dr. Farralon + First Contact + Mirasta Yale + Assign Mission Specialists + Lwaxanna Troi + Riva + Particle Fountain: The 30-point mission just became a 55-point mission.
- Dr. Farralon + Exocomp: Suspend play to pass a dilemma just encountered when you need an android, another ENGINEER, or nine more INTEGRITY.
