When I use a card like Obsession to download an Assimilated Transport, who scores the points if no one destroys it before it goes off the space line?

I had intended to place it on a single location space line and score points on the first turn, but my opponent reads the card as printed and wants the points. Does the self card download so that it faces the opponent?

From the Glossary

Assimilated Vessel
The player who scores the points is the opponent of the player who encounters this card (or otherwise brings it into play, such as with Obsession). This card does not award points when it is destroyed in battle.

In other words, if you download it via Obsession and don't destroy it for 13 points, you give your opponent 10 points; so not the one you want to DL.

Thanks!

For the record, I had just looked at this same idea last week and dashed my own hopes, lol.

My TMP Klingons thought that would be a good Obsession download until I read that glossary entry.
