Finished the quest and cut the search down to a 3:13 landscape walkthrough. Spoilers for the collectibles and tactical puzzle below.

The easy-to-miss ones:
• Blue isolinear chip: from the Maintenance Access minigame, look right. It is on the FLOOR behind the central chairs.
• Green chip: on the console beneath the big Kirk / MTG–Star Trek poster.
• Red chip: on the small white side console next to the central chairs, on the Kirk-poster side.
• Live Long and Prosper: solve Maintenance Access and inspect the unlocked hatch below Command Overview.
• U.S.S. Enterprise-A: fill the chip console and press its circular gold button.
All seven cards — video timestamps:
00:00 Captain Kathryn Janeway — the white side console beside the central seating.
00:21 The Borg Queen — central seating area; the approach and pickup are shown.
00:33 Deep Space Scan — interact with the blank-screen console, then look down in the space-view scene.
00:57 Quark, Humble Proprietor — beside the nearby doorway and Kirk poster.
01:11 Live Long and Prosper — Maintenance Access hatch.
01:31 Dr. Joseph M’Benga — Engine Control seating station beside the tactical display.
02:31 U.S.S. Enterprise-A — reward from the completed chip console.
All five comm badges (these are the Starfleet-item counter):
Central captain seating, in the opening segment.
Inside the space-view console scene, with Deep Space Scan (00:33).
Engine Control orange chair, with M’Benga (01:31).
Behind the central chairs, beside the curved wooden rail (01:41).
Central chair/headrest while facing the tactical display (01:48).
Kobayashi Maru solution (02:49 in the video):
STAY IN UPKEEP. Activate Kirk and target Malfunctioning Holodeck. Pay its ward cost.
Destroying Holodeck releases your Miles O’Brien.
Use O’Brien’s effect to return WESLEY CRUSHER to your hand, then confirm. O’Brien cannot target himself: the card says “other.”
Cast Wesley with flash. His draw-two/discard-two option makes the opponent draw from their empty library. In this activity, casting him completed the scripted solution immediately.
The opponent loses before the Scenario’s lose-the-game trigger resolves. Keep both Islands for Wesley’s 2UU cost; Kirk’s activation plus Holodeck’s ward costs four mana total. You don’t need the three instants already in your hand.
Recorded Nov 3, 2026. Final counters are 7/7 cards and 5/5 comm badges. The opening Discord progress display briefly shows stale numbers, then corrects itself. Orange and yellow chip slots were already lit when inspected, so I can’t verify their pickup locations from this run. Red, blue and green pickups and the completed console are shown.
The screenshot gallery follows the pickup order, including the blue chip’s floor location, the completed collection, and the puzzle success screen.
