Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

If no other planet on spaceline where encountered (and Aid Fugitives not in play), discard dilemma and continue to next. Otherwise: If no MEDICAL in AT/crew, AT/ship and crew are "stopped"; replace dilemma under mission to be encountered again. If MEDICAL present, place most CUNNING (if tie, opponent chooses) with dilemma on nearest planet at another location on same spaceline. That personnel is "stopped" till end of 3rd turn of player who seeded dilemma; rest of AT/crew is not "stopped" and must continue to next dilemma. Discard dilemma when countdown expires.
If most CUNNING MEDICAL is hologram without a Mobile Holo-Emitter, it may not relocate but deactivates instead, and dilemma is not passed. If most CUNNING MEDICAL is Borg with MEDICAL from skill-sharing, will lose skill if leaves hive, and dilemma is not passed. Either case, return dilemma under mission, AT/crew "stopped".

Official Runlings:

This dilemma may not relocate across quadrants except when the Aid Fugitives mission is in play (in which case, it must relocate there). See movement between quadrants. If there is no other planet on the spaceline where this dilemma is encountered (and Aid Fugitives is not in play), discard the dilemma for lack of a target planet.

To pass this dilemma, the most CUNNING MEDICAL personnel must be able to relocate to another planet and still have MEDICAL skill after relocating. If he is unable to meet these conditions (e.g., a holographic personnel without a Mobile Holo-Emitter, or a Borg which has MEDICAL skill through skill-sharing), or if there is no MEDICAL present, the Away Team or crew is "stopped" and the dilemma is replaced under the mission. (You may not choose to relocate a MEDICAL of lower CUNNING.) If the most CUNNING MEDICAL is an OFFICER enhanced by a Medical Kit, the Medical Kit must relocate with him. See quarantine, holographic personnel and equipment.
