Panacea Autojector

Can you heal someone who has been killed?

I’m thinking of a standard :crew crewmember who has just received 3 :wounds wounds, causing them to be killed/discarded. If the crewperson had a :gear Panacea Autojector attached, could they :reaction – jettison to remove 2 :wounds wounds to bring themselves back to life?

Or using the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle is it more accurate to say that the :reaction Reaction removes 2 :wounds wounds from the attack and thus they were never killed?

Seems a trifling difference but I can foresee heated debates arising at the game table (at least with some of the lawyers gamers I know). ;)

Then again, maybe they really are dead...

:wounds from a single source are received all at once, so the Panacea Autojector wouldn't save you in this case.

However, where the :reaction would save you is if you already had :wounds on a :crew that was set to take more. Then you could generate the :reaction ability and remove the already inflicted :wounds.

Example: Captain Simbacca controls the :crew Flint. Flint has a Panacea Autojector and he currently has taken two :wounds. His opponent, Captain Shipwreck, controls the :crew Vorn Drusus and intends to generate that card's ability to inflict two :wounds, which forms a queue. Simbacca may generate the ability on the Panacea Autojector to restore two :wounds because it has :reaction, so it goes on the queue second. Because effects resolve in reverse order (LiFo), Flint would heal two :wounds and then Vorn would inflict two more.

Ahh, so he really is dead then....
Thanks for the clarification Jeff.

Yeah, in your example you'd want Armor.

Hmm, why do I have the feeling that Frewfrux is going to be stocking up on :weapon TL-13 CLC Laser Rifles?
