A situation arose last night in a game and neither I nor my opponent were sure how to properly resolve it. I feel like I've read the answer to this somewhere, but my forum-fu seems to be failing me today; my apologies if this is duplicating a previous question.
My opponent hit the following sequence during a mission attempt:
1. AT encounters Phased Matter.
2. AT split into 2 ATs: 2 personnel with SCIENCE and ENGINEER, 4 personnel.
3. Dilemma is placed on larger AT, which phases.
4. SCIENCE and ENGINEER present in unphased AT on planet immediately, Phased Matter discarded.
The next dilemma was Chalnoth, and the AT could not defeat him (not enough SECURITY and STRENGTH < 40). So I get to choose who Chalnoth kills in the AT, but do I have 2 personnel or 6 to choose from? When the larger AT phases, are they removed from the mission attempt, forming a separate AT because phased personnel cannot participate in mission attempts?
The glossary for Phased Matter is mute on this point, and the entry for Away Team and Crew doesn't specify that phased behaves the same way as stopping, stasis, or otherwise disabling.
So does the larger AT simply rejoin the smaller one when the Phased Matter is cured, and the reunited AT continues to the next dilemma if during a mission attempt?
