Negatives: Requires a Cardassian symbol Personnel with Leadership or Intellegence to activate. The Player has to Discard a card from hand. Event is Destroyed after use.

Extra: Every Affiliation gets some version of "Observer" from the Obsidian Order. (Bajoran=Days of Atonement, Borg=Severed Link, Dominion=Dispensing the White, Federation=Back-Flush Bussard Collectors, Ferengi=Delicate Negotiations [which is slightly different], Klingon=Order of the Bat'leth, Romulans=Tactical Planning, and Starfleet=That's the Last Time) It's a basic pitch two cards (the Event and a card from hand) to gain two cards. Could be useful in large decks when the Player is drawing lots of cards that aren't really needed or occasionally in minimum size decks where the Player wants to speed through the draw deck to get everything they need for some particular setup. It's occasionally useful, but not seen much. It's one of a few discard to draw cards available to Cardassians. See also: Cardassian Protectorate, and The Pillage of Bajor.
