Technically, the entire concept of the game makes every character a time traveler. At least within Timelines. However...
I would assume the trait would apply specifically to cards representing the character in the act of or from the specific episode involving it. Agent Seven, Braxton, the entire DS9 1701 set, Bell Riot, Bounty TOS, all apparently taken from a moment in time during which they were actively not from what they would consider their present.
A Temporal Agent trait seems perfect for this discussion, IMHO. It suggests a crewmember's status in an official capacity, performing Federation-sanctioned activities related to time travel. It's inclusive of the various civilian organizations (Chronal Assessment Committee, Department of Temporal Investigations, Federation Temporal Agency), as well as Starfleet's own Temporal Integrity Commission. Maybe best of all, it excludes the multitude of crew who have "unofficially" traveled time...which is to say the main characters of almost every Trek program. The focus should always remain on crew who are acting under orders, simple as that. Kirk's research mission during Assignment: Earth was presumably overseen by Commodore Delgado; Seven was deputized to perform counter-espionage on Voyager by Captain Braxton & Lieutenant Ducane in Relativity; T'Pol & Archer's 21st century investigation in Carpenter Street was facilitated by Agent Daniels; etc. When the crew is authorized to act temporally, then the trait fits.

That's only my second biggest complaint about Michael Burnham. Mama Burnham though... No complaints come to mind. She was a hard woman from dealing with a hard reality. I don't have much better to do this weekend than get a shiny new 1/5. I hope the stats are good.
Was there any speculation yet about stats? SCI seems to be a lock. Maybe some CMD. And since there's only two things that go with SCI and CMD, the last will be DIP or SEC. But probably DIP.

ENG is up there. Didn’t she design and build the suit?

Burnham said her mother was an astrophysicist
Leland said she was also a ‘brilliant engineer’
my money’s on sci/eng/dip or sci/eng/sec

She was pretty bossy. My money is on CMD tertiary. I forgot she built the suit, so ENG sounds right for secondary. I knew she designed it, but it didn't register that she built it for some reason.

I'm wondering why today's LTO is Nomad. Shouldn't it be a version of Janeway or La Forge?
EDIT: Nevermind, I thought all Tuesday crew offers were bonus crew in the following event. Didn't remember that sometimes they're not.
I was surprised. Took and DYC'd him, though. Didn't have him.
Went back to check if there was maybe a Trait that is Bonus this week, but is not. Just one of those not connected ones. Maybe a Janeway or La Forge Thursday in a LTO........

Gonna be tough, many have multiple Janeways and Geordis.
Agreed. I am strongly considering using this event to cross off the Top 100 and/or Top 50 achievement, but may not want to if it's going to be super competitive.

Depends on the stats of Burnham’s mother and if many people want her. It may be a good event if she is a two-skill crewperson. As we did have lots of faction events recently people are probably low on shuttle tokens, I know I am.

I would assume the trait would apply specifically to cards representing the character in the act of or from the specific episode involving it.

😆 She's getting as well known for her cry-face as Claire Danes on Homeland. Somebody even made a video compilation of her saddest moments...
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

- Need two more stars on Zora
- Could use the gauntlet help from Mirror Geordi
- Really liked Gabrielle Burnham
Shame I tend to do terribly at faction events.

A La Forge or a Janeway?
I’d be ok with Assimilated Janeway, maybe Conditioned La Forge.
I've got both. I would probably drop $10 on either.

Interfaced Geordi, please & tyvm. 🖖
