Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

If crew meets conditions (SCIENCE and CUNNING > 35), place dilemma in bonus point area and continue to next. If not, undo your last two actions of this turn; ship and crew are "stopped"; discard dilemma; end turn immediately.

Official Runlings:

If one of the actions to be undone by this dilemma cannot be undone, then the results of the action are left intact. If the action was initiated by a card play, that card returns to your hand. For example, if you played a Scan card, you cannot "undo" having seen the seed cards under the mission, but the Scan card returns to your hand. If you played a Regenerate to shuffle your discard pile into your draw deck, the draw deck remains intact (because you cannot separate the cards), and the Regenerate returns to your hand.
