    Quote from Alternate Universe Rulesheet:

    The idea behind this dilemma is that it can be passed on. The affected personnel can be used normally until it dies at the end of owner's subsequent turn. At that time, if it is present with any other personnel (including opposing personnel), the Coalescent Organism is transferred to one of them via random selection. Keep the Dilemma card with the personnel card to show who is affected. If the affected personnel is alone when it dies, the dilemma is discarded.
