The rulebook does not seem to fully cover a Cylon revealing itself while under the influence of an Executive Order. The example in the rulebook states that a Cylon player may reveal himself on his turn. However, it is later stated that a player may reveal as an action. Moreover, in the revealing a Cylon portion of the rules, it is stated that the last step in the reveal process is that the player's turn ends.
Questions:
1. Can a player reveal when it is not his "turn", but when he has the opportunity to take an action (e.g., Executive Order, Apollo's special ability)?
2. If the player is under the influence of an Executive Order, may the player use the first action to reveal and then take a second action?
A similar situation arises for Starbuck, who is allowed to take an extra action when she starts her turn aboard a Viper. However, in that case it could be argued that as soon as she reveals, she loses the benefit of that ability (and therefore cannot take a second action if her first was to reveal). Then again, as cards may not be played on a revealed Cylon, it could also be argued that the Executive Order's effects end immediately upon the reveal, making the end-of-turn issue moot.
I also have a third question, which is only tangentially related to the topic at hand:
3. Can Helo, who cannot normally move or perform actions before his second turn, benefit from an Executive Action card played on him before he reaches Galactica? If so, would he be limited to playing cards from his hand (as he is not on the board)?
