I have 2 questions Rau in Phantom II says cannot spend tokens in inside firing arc range 1-3 does that include the aux fire arc It seems to me that they are 2 different arc's second question if you are stressed can you use pattern analyzer you cannot do actions if stressed but with pattern analyzer you do not check stress till after action

1: An arc is an arc is an arc. Unless something calls out a specific type of arc (e.g. the Lancer pilots calling out their mobile arcs) then any arc counts. Fenn can use his ability front or back.
2: No. Pattern Analyser doesn't let you ignore stress, it just lets you change when your manoeuvre adds or removes it. So if you're stressed when you start your move, you're still stressed when you end it (unless it was green) and you can't do your action.
The Check Pilot Stress step is really misnamed, to be honest. It should be called 'check manoeuvre colour and update pilot stress accordingly'.
