ACTION PHASE
You may reveal one card from your hand (do not discard it) and get 
One special Benefit from it: 
1. If it is a Leader card, you may look at the next 5 cards in 
The SHIELD deck and put one of them in your hand. 
2. If it is a Combat card you cause one target Plot card to be discarded. 
The discarded card goes to the bottom of the PLOT deck. 
3. If it is a Support card draw 2 cards from the SHIELD deck and then discard 
Any 2 cards from your Hand.

Draw 1 SHIELD card.

Your Hand.

INVESTIGATION PHASE
Play (Discard) SHIELD cards from your hand with a total Level matching or 
exceeding the Level of a target Revealed Plot card. The SHIELD cards must 
also have Traits that at minimum match the Traits of the target Plot card. 
If this is done the Plot card is captured and put into your Victory Pile. 
If possible, you may capture multiple revealed Plot cards in a single turn. 
Every time a Revealed Plot card is captured immediately flip over 
Another one from the top of the PLOT Deck so that there are always 
Five Revealed Plot cards available.
