Revised text:
Plays on opponent's one- or two-person Away Team on a planet (unless in a facility). Away Team is "lost" (place under mission). Capture (or opponent rescues) by solving mission.

This interrupt remains on the "lost" Away Team until they are rescued or captured. See discarding. The "lost" personnel are still an Away Team and are vulnerable to cards such as Anti-Time Anomaly, Risky Business, or Dal'Rok, but they cannot use any skills or features (as if disabled). They are placed under the mission only as a marker of their "lost" status and are not considered seed cards that can be discarded with Ajur or Boratus. A "lost" Borg scout may not be retrieved when the Borg complete their objective. See Away Team and crew.

You may play this interrupt on personnel phased by the Phased Matter dilemma. You may not play it on an Away Team at a time location, because it requires you to place them under a mission.
