DNA Clues

Rare card from Deep Space Nine (1998) / Very Rare Foil card from Reflections (2000)

Although a thorough analysis of a DNA sample can be a time-consuming endeavor, it can also provide information crucial to successfully dealing with biomedical hazards.

Space / Planet Dilemma

Place on mission. Further dilemmas requiring any MEDICAL here require 2 more if you continue OR 2 less if crew or Away Team has Exobiology and "stops" now to investigate.

Rule notes

Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

Place dilemma on mission. If AT/crew contains Exobiology, make choice:
AT/crew is "stopped". Any further dilemmas at this location requiring MEDICAL to overcome, cure or nullify require 2 less MEDICAL than specified.
AT/crew is not "stopped" and must continue to next dilemma. Any further dilemmas at this location requiring MEDICAL to overcome, cure or nullify require 2 more MEDICAL than specified.
If no Exobiology present, second "choice" applies to further dilemmas. Dilemma stays on mission regardless of outcome, even after mission is completed.

Official Runlings:

Once this dilemma is placed on the mission and the choice is made either to continue or to "stop" (if possible), the altered MEDICAL requirements for further dilemmas encountered at that location affect both players. The DNA Clues dilemma is not encountered again, so no future Away Team or crew can alter those requirements. The dilemma remains on the mission even after it is solved. The MEDICAL requirements may be reduced to zero.
