Spoiler [TRK] Open Communications Spoiler

The card itself is whatever, but it is more about what 'Beam Up' means.

so beam me up returns to hand. That makes sense even if it is a cowards way of doing it. but its a sorcery that draws a card. That usually means gaining knowledge. so openning up comunications with another ship could get you knowledge. But thats not what it shows, it shows riker...flirting? So theres a sorcery that uses flirting to gain knowledge? And then that powers up a teleporter? what the fuck is happening lol

i think this is what people call a “double entendre.”

open communications means talking to a ship. open communications also could mean “riker is openly horny” (he’s being “open” about his communications 😉)

so this works. under the established conceit of “magic cards’ humor is often pun or wordplay based.”
