## Rules questions

### How many agents does each player get during setup?

Place agents according to the setup numbers for player count — the rules use a 3 / 2 / 1 deployment as shown in setup (page 8).

### When and how do I add Escalation cards to the player deck?

Add the Escalation cards during player-deck setup: split them into the five piles and reassemble the player deck with those piles as instructed (page 9).

### What does MOP UP do and when do I do it on my turn?

MOP UP is performed on your turn as part of the turn sequence and removes agents in cities that have active teams before you draw player cards (page 13).

### If a target is 'unknown', how do I acquire it and place teams or stickers?

When acquiring an unknown target you reveal the city per the Identify/Acquire rules, then place the team in the revealed city and apply any L–U sticker placements as shown in the example (page 12).

### What happens when an Incident is drawn — can Incidents chain?

Resolve the Incident by placing its token and then draw the bottom Threat card to apply effects; Incidents can chain, and you continue resolving chained Incident effects as described (page 14).

### What if I exceed my hand limit after drawing — can I use Event cards to avoid discarding?

After drawing you must reduce to the hand limit by discarding immediately; Event cards are played according to their own timing rules but you still must end the draw step at or below the hand limit (pages 13, 15).
