He had an Ore Processing Site, but no Infirmiry (don't ask why he didn't dowload it for free - I don't have a clue). But he downloaded both the equipment that gave "each ENGINEER MEDICAL skill" and "each MEDICAL ENGINEER skill" (sorry, don't remember the exact card names)

AFAIK it's under equipment. It defines 'X-related equipment' to be any equipment with X in its game text. Thus, a Medical PADD is ENGINEER-related because it has 'ENGINEER' in its game text.

>Also, as a follow-up, could he have downloaded the Breen CRM114 "Breen-zoka" to the Security Site without an arms dealer since it is a download not a report.

Downloading *is* reporting. And the answer is no. The Breen CRM 114 explicitly states that it *only* reports if a Breen or arms dealer is present.

>VR Headsets
>
>Card states: "Each VR Headset aboard your [DOM] ship allows one Vorta, Jem'Hadar, or Cardassian present to enhance Weapons and Shields +1 and (if Vorta) to serve as matching commander".

>This card implies "cumulative" (Each VR Headset). Does this mean that you can have more than one matching commander for a ship with multiple VR Headsets?
>
No. First, cumulativity is *never* implied - it's always explicitly marked with the word 'cumulative.' However, it doesn't matter here since different cards (the Vorta, Jem'Hadar, and Cardassians) are providing the effect. More importantly, there's the rule that a ship can only benefit from one matching commander at a time. VR Headset does not override that.

>I would think "No" - that the cumulative effect was for the Weapons and Shields.

Right, except cumulativity doesn't enter into it.

>Montana Missile Complex/Phoenix
>
>The Montana Missile Comple Time Location requires you to play a Phoenix from outside the game. Since the Phoenix has a AU icon, does this require you to have an AU/STP/TMW inplay to allow the Phoenix to arrive in play?
>
No. It's using its native time location to enter play.

>I wouldn't think so, but I haven't found any ruling that says one way or the other.

It's in the Glossary under 'time locations.'
