    Simple and to the point. Is there at least one male in your Away Team? If so, send him to the farthest planet on the spaceline, where he can cool his heels until you get around to sending a ship to fetch him back. In practical terms, that may be never, especially if your opponent decides to beam down his own Away Team to kill off the trespasser. With no conditions, the dilemma won't even "stop" your Away Team, so they'll have to forge on without him.

    Combos:

    • Lack of Preparationimage + Male’s Love Interest: You can't be certain of spiriting away the key mission-solver, but you're likely to get more than a generic redshirt.
    • Male's Love Interest + Thine Own Selfimage: A ready-made one-man Away Team to get "lost" on that faraway planet. If the mission is already solved so there's no way to retrieve him, so much the better.
