Similar question came up in a local event. Is a captured personnel that is being escorted an eligible target for Volcanic Eruption? What about one being held by a trap?

Examples:
A captured personnel held by a trap card like Cardassian Trap

Personnel held by a dilemma atop mission like Alien Abduction: Test Subjects

Personnel placed under Kobayashi Maru Scenario
I may be very wrong about this, but I understand "here" to mean "here at this location", so I would say that anyone currently at that location can be selected. I liken it to a [DL] . Anywhere at that location.

From the Glossary: Capturing

Captives are disabled (unless a card such as Brainwash specifies otherwise.

Disabled personnel may not be used in any way. They may not take actions, use gametext or characteristics, or even enable gametext on other cards that depend on the disabled personnel being in play... However, disabled personnel may be moved and beamed like equipment cards, and may be targeted by effects that target their card types. For example, disabled personnel may be battled by opposing personnel, captured by Ilon Tandro, or targeted by Release This Pain.

I would say that since Dikironium Cloud Creature says here, I would think the rules tends to agree that Cardassian Trapped cards are eligible since they can be targeted, Since they are under the Trap, I would then infer that since Kobayashi Maru Scenario and Alien Abduction: Test Subjects play on the mission, cards under them should likewise be target-able by Dikironium.

I am not on Rules Team, however.
