Spatial Rift

    Spatial Rift

    A rupture in space connected U.S.S. Voyager with its duplicate created by a spatial scission. The two crews had to separate their "siamese ships" that shared a single supply of anti-matter.

    Dilemma Dilemma - Dual dilemma Dual

    Two personnel present (random selection) "disappear" (discarded) if their combined CUNNING < 15. To get past requires Astrophysics and 2 ENGINEER remaining.

    Characteristics: wall dilemma.

    Rule hint for this card

    This card has an erratum:

    The original version used to be a very powerful dilemma that would potentially kill 2 personnel and stop without even getting to the wall part of the card. This has now been changed so that it now potentially kills the 2 personnel and then hit the wall part of the dilemma without a automatic stop before the possibility to overcome it.

    This Card-Review article was written by Kathy McCracken and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at May 12th, 2001.

    This dilemma is one of a select few with two sets of conditions to pass - and the first set depends on a random selection. First, you randomly select two personnel (if there's only one present, then that one is selected). If their combined CUNNING is not greater than 14, they disappear (you discard them) and the rest of your crew or Away team is "stopped" because you didn't meet that condition. Not even a Genetronic Replicatorimage or John Doeimage will save them, because they didn't die, they just "disappeared."

    If that combined CUNNING is greater than 14, you pass the first condition, and now you have to meet the second one - Astrophysics and 2 ENGINEER. Don't have them? Sorry, it's a wall dilemma; put it back under the mission to encounter next time, and then you'll risk having two personnel disappear again.

    PADDs and Lower Decksimage are looking better and better.

    Combo:

    • Spatial Rift + any planet mission: Oh, you weren't expecting to need Astrophysics on the ground?
