- Space dilemma

: Kills a personnel (random selection). Otherwise: "Stops" a personnel (random selection).This Card-Review article was written by Kathy McCracken and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Jun 6th, 2000.
This space-only dilemma has two effects, one not so obvious. The first and obvious effect is to kill or "stop" a personnel, depending on the probe results. While not a sure-fire killer by any means, it has a good chance of scoring a kill against an Enterprise-E deck or a heavily 
deck. Event- and interrupt-heavy decks may also send someone to the discard pile. But in any case, some crew member will at least be out of the current mission attempt.
The not-so-obvious benefit of the dilemma is that the probe card is discarded. It might be a relatively unimportant card, but then again, it might be yourJean-Luc Picard
, adding insult to injury as you both lose a crew member and discard the Jean-Luc you would have drawn at the end of this turn.

- 47th Rule of Acquisition
+ My First Raygun: Place one of his personnel who "wears a better suit" on top of his draw deck when you expect him to attempt that space mission next turn. His probe may only "stop" a crew member, but the one banished to the draw deck heads for the discard pile.
