Im at the Origins game fair, so my posting will be sporadic, but here’s enough to keep rolling:

Setback:
Play–Looking Up
Power–Looking Up. I deal net 4 melee damage to Dawn (53) and add 3 to my Unlucky Pool (3).
Draw–Exceeded Expectations

Setback draws "Exceeded Expectations".

Also, I thought you drained the Unlucky Pool to zero last turn with the Karmic Redistribution attack.  So is it at 3, or 4?

Setback would be at three tokens

Tachyon

Hmmm, there are no Pizza shops in this realm, where do I get my usual mid-fight snack from? Finding it hard to keep up my energy levels.

Parse plays Targeting Arrow from her deck. Deal 2 projectile damage to Citizen Dawn (47). Damage dealt to Dawn is increased by 1 until the start of my turn (which unfortunately isn't far away).

Yeah. I wasn't really thinking about turn order. Parse is one of those characters who, when I play her, I always want to play every card in my hand. Usually a safe Timeshift, but this might not be the ideal sequence for it.

Post Fanatic turn and effect of Negative Energy field.  (Is Consecrated Ground destroying Negative Energy Field as well?)

Fanatic - 7; Setback - 8;  Tachyon - 8; Omnitron-X - 8; Parse - 8

sigh Discarding Blinding Speed and Nimble Strike

Destroying? Do you think the one damage to Dawn from Negative Energy Field is worth the damage to us or was that a typo and it was destroyed?

I would presume Negative Energy Field is being destroyed and that it is a typo - the only other eligible target is The 1 HP Explosive Bubbles - and in its current condition it will only hit Citizen Dawn.
