>>>If they CAN use special downloads, such as Leyton's download of Flight of the Intruder (assuming the card is in your opponents deck), whose hand would the card go to?

>>If your opponent controls your infiltrator, he uses the skills on that card. For example, if he attempts a mission with that crew, and the infiltrator chooses to participate, he cannot withhold the use of a skill for passing a dilemma. You either let him participate in the attempt or you don't, but short of playing an interrupt *between* dilemmas, you have no further control over the use of that personnel in that mission attempt. So if your opponent uses his special download skill, you can't prvent it. He must have the card in his own deck, though; he uses the infiltrator *as his own* personnel, and he can never download from your deck. The card from a special download never goes into anyone's hand. Special downloads *must* be played immediately. If it is not possible to play it, you can't do the download.

>Sorry Major. I meant where would Leyton go. To my hand or my opponent's hand? (assuming he is my card infiltrating)

Oh, *that* card. ;-) Sorry, I misunderstood. And I don't have an answer to your question; it's one I have recently asked the rules committee and don't have an answer yet. My guess is that it will go to the owner's hand (despite the card saying "to your hand"), just as discarded cards go to their owners' discard piles, and all cards on a ship returned to hand with an STP go to owners' hands. But I could be wrong.
