Question

I put the new Operation Zero Tolerance modular encounter set in as the modular encounter set in Infiltrate the Museum (Collector#1). During game play, the Operation Zero Tolerance side scheme enters play. Next, an ally is defeated by an enemy. Does the defeated ally go into the collection or under the Operation Zero Tolerance side scheme? Entering the Collection is Forced Interrupt, and going under OZT is a Forced Response, and the trigger is similar but the wording is different. One is when a card is discarded from play, and the other is when defeated.

Answer

It’s placed under Operation Zero Tolerance. Operation Zero Tolerance triggers “after an enemy attacks and defeats an ally”—the ally being defeated is a condition that occurs before the ally is “discarded from play”, which is when Collector’s Forced Interrupt triggers.
