Rule notes

Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

If playing Borg, discard dilemma (neither choice is relevant). Otherwise, make choice when you first encounter dilemma.

• If you choose to abandon mission attempt, replace dilemma under mission. You may not reattempt until any player has completed a different mission. AT/crew is not "stopped" but cannot continue here. When you do reattempt, discard the dilemma; you do not re-encounter it. If your opponent attempts this mission before you reattempt, he does encounter it and must make the same choice.
• If you choose to continue, and you complete the mission this turn (with any AT/crew), discard the dilemma. If you do not complete mission this turn, place the dilemma in your bonus point area.

Official Runlings:

Revised text:
Abandon mission attempt until any player completes a different mission OR continue but lose points if you do not solve mission this turn.

Because this dilemma has no conditions, the Away Team or crew is not "stopped" and the dilemma should not be returned under the mission. Place it on top of the mission to serve as a marker until the dilemma is resolved, then discard it.
