'downloading' - Emblem of the Empire is the reason

'downloading' - possible downloads by using Emblem of the Empire:

function: The game text of Emblem of the Empire says that you can 'download' the following card (on table):

The Art of Diplomacy

Seeds or plays on table. Your , , Resistance, and Orion Syndicate personnel who are using a hand weapon may use 2 Treachery as if it were 1 Diplomacy (ignoring reductions from rifles) and, once each turn, may place incident out-of-play to kill one other personnel present. Once per game, you may discard incident to download one hand weapon to one of your personnel who has 2 Treachery.

Rule notes

Official Runlings:

This incident gives immunity to Navigate Plasma Storms to your facilities and ships. It removes affiliation attack restrictions only from cards and the four personnel listed, not from other cards that they mix with. For example, while Benjamin Sisko has no affiliation attack restrictions, he cannot initiate ship battle while aboard the U.S.S. Defiant, because the ship is subject to normal Federation attack restrictions.
