    Quote from Fajo Collection Rules Supplemen:

    This interrupt/event has a new feature called “dual type.” Just as dual-affiliation personnel have only one affiliation at a time, dual-type cards have only one card type at any given moment. The controller of the card may choose which type it has at any time (but once played, the card retains the same type as long as it remains in play). For example, if Dixon Hill’s Business Card is played as an event, it is vulnerable to Kevin Uxbridge but not to Amanda Rogers.
    Oh, by the way… non-gangsters would read this card as follows:


    If any personnel (except a Borg) was just killed and there were no other personnel present, select any other personnel controlled by the same player. That personnel is captured.


    Plays on table. The opponent’s next personnel to report for duty must be universal or a holographic re-creation. Then place this card out-of-play. (Event is not duplicatable.)

    BEHIND THE SCENES:
    This dual-type card comes complete with a replica of Dixon Hill’s actual business card. (Wow! Now youse can impoisonate a real gumshoe.) The 2” x 31/2” re-creation is printed on stock from the United States’ oldest paper manufacturer using a traditional engraver’s metal typeface. The type was precisely aligned using a computer model developed by our art department. A photograph of the finished replica was then used to enhance the business card in the image pulled from Paramount’s digital master.
