Question

175 – I need some help with Quicksilver’s double time event regarding choose rules. How does it resolve between the following? Choose 1st Option – Resolve 1st option. Choose 2nd Option – Resolve 2nd option. OR Choose two options – Resolve both simultaneously. Game example, a side scheme is in play with 2 threat and a crisis icon. The main scheme also has 2 threat.

Answer

As outlined under “Initiating Abilities,” you should choose which options you are taking after paying the cost of the card, but before resolving it. You also need to have a valid target in play for the options that you choose, noting that you can choose “Remove 2 threat from a scheme” twice at this step because each option is evaluated independently of the consequences of the other.

You can then resolve your chosen options in either order, treating them as “separate sentences” of a single ability. If you resolve one sentence and then a new valid target appears for the next sentence, you can use the new target for that sentence.

In summary, yes, you can use Double Time to remove threat from a side scheme with crisis, and then if that scheme leaves play you can remove threat from the main scheme.
