If Emotion Control turns an attack into a Negotiate while a Kicker is played, does the Kicker still apply to the failed deal?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. Emotion Control changes only the attack card into a Negotiate and leaves the Kicker in effect. A failed deal then doubles the ship loss, so the player with Emotion Control has to plan for that.
