Q-Type Android

Uncommon card from The Trouble with Tribbles (2000)

Think fast, Commander Riker.

Q-Card Typ: Dilemma

Opponent places dilemma on one Personnel card at this location, then chooses: All copies of that card become Q-type androids (STRENGTH +4) or, if already androids, become humans (STRENGTH -4). OR That card, unless Borg, seeds (relocates) under Q’s Planet, if not solved; discard dilemma. (May be nullified only by Mortal Q or a version of the William T. Riker (Prem) persona present.)

Rule notes

Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

Official Runlings:

When your Personnel card is seeded by your opponent under Q's Planet with the second function of this Q-icon dilemma, it is no longer in play until earned when the mission is solved. See personnel - seeded. If two copies of the same personnel are seeded there, the second one encountered will be a mis-seeds and placed out-of-play (if revealed by your opponent, he cannot solve the mission).

If a Borg is altered by this dilemma, their biological distinctiveness or species becomes android and their STRENGTH is +4 (but they are still Borg). A holographic personnel who is altered by this dilemma remains "hologram species;" it is now a hologram of an android with increased STRENGTH. If a dual-personnel card containing an android and a non-android is selected for the first function, the species of both personnel are altered. The android becomes human and the non-android becomes an android.
