codewolf asks:

In a tournament Locutus was chosen to be stopped when facing Kolaran Raiders. The player then said that they were going to play Knowledge and Experience to prevent the stop. I told them if they prevented the stop that they would not get the 10 points for using Locutus skill and someone would be killed. Was I correct in saying that. My logic was is was as though they did not choose him tobe stopped.

You may respond after someone has been selected but before they have been stopped. If the dilemma is prevented during that time, Locutus would score the points but not be stopped.

See the "dilemmas" entry in the Current Rulings Document for examples outlining when you may respond while facing a dilemma.

garetjax asks:

Can "A few minor difficulties" be destroyed by it's gametext, if the player who commands this event has the Talnot in play and a copy of the event in the discard pile?
And as a second question can i save this event with Miles Repair chief, if it would be destroyed by it's own gametext?

Effects belong to the commander of the card that produced them. When A Few Minor Difficulties destroys itself, it is being destroyed by whoever commands it. Because it is not an opponent destroying it (you are), neither Miles O'Brien nor Talnot can change that.
