Uncommon card from First Contact (1997)

Sometimes obtaining information from locals requires consuming beverages of dubious nutritional value. It's best not to criticize such "counseling techniques."

Planet Dilemma

To get past requires Empathy, Diplomacy, Morn or any Scotty. All such personnel are "stopped" but if two or more present, one must continue (random selection).

Rule notes

Major Rakal's Dilemma Facts

If none of the conditions (Empathy, Diplomacy, Morn or any Scotty) are in the AT, the AT is "stopped"; replace dilemma under mission to be encountered again. If only one personnel meeting any of the conditions is in the AT, that one is "stopped" and the rest of the AT (if any) continues to the next dilemma; discard dilemma. If more than one personnel meeting any of the conditions is in the AT, randomly select one to continue with the rest of the AT to the next dilemma; all others meeting any of the conditions are "stopped"; discard dilemma.

Official Runlings:

This dilemma's requirement of "any Scotty" refers to any representation of the Montgomery Scott character.
