Thanks for the discards guys. Updated my previous turn with card draws.
I do hope we flip Kismet this turn; otherwise this play won’t be nearly as effective.

On one hand you discarded an Omni-Cannon for Chrono-Ranger, but on the other hand you draw 3 cards this turn. (Probably you know this.)
I had in fact forgotten the third card; the Omni-Cannon thing was just a typo, not accounting for it in both my hands. Fixed now, and since my set was actually in the room this time, I drew my cards and edited them in. Will be switching modes next turn; since I'm unjinxed, if we badly need me to blast something, I could do External Combustion, although I would rather wait and try to get Heavy Plating first, and meanwhile put down Ammo Drop.

Technically I think it should have been Karmic Disjunction which was revealed and shuffled back into Kismet's deck, since we'd seen it with the Talisman. Not that it matters much. For the sake of propriety, I made the decision of whether Bunker sacks Recharge Mode to Primordial Plant Life before scrolling down to look at the villain turn, but it turns out it didn't really matter. The choice is either "lose RM and take 3 damage from PPL, then 1 from Kismet" or "keep RM, take 5 damage reduced to 4 from PPL, then take 1 damage reduced to 0 from Kismet, then destroy RM at start of turn". I originally chose the former, but since they're equivalent, I'll do the latter since it feels more proactive to me.
Ah-CHOOF! Ugh...where'd all these spores come from? Sheesh, this day just gets better and better. Activating oxygen scrubbers.....

Trash: Reset, Singularity, Focused Plasma Cannon, Slip Through Time
Effects:
You should be doing more damage. Gaussian Coil Blaster should do 3 damage to Kismet: 1+ 1 (Obsidian Field) + 1 (By Any Means)
Bio-Engineering Beam would also do 3. So, I think we're done.
Good game, everyone!
Agreed. Thanks for playing everyone. And thanks for running it BlueHairedMeerkat!
I missed the Bounty.
How on earth did Kismet drop from 22 to 14 in the course of her own turn? By my count she should have 7 HP left. Though of course Chrono-Ranger has a turn coming, so she probably won't survive that. Welp, I guess I was kinda irrelevant, oh well.
I never got an answer as to whether I should report the Spite game, but it didn't look like anyone else had, so eventually I went ahead and did it. Shall I do this one too?
