You can score secret objectives already scored by other players, if you fulfill their requirements; this does not count against your secret objective limit or the number you can score in a round. When you score another player's secret objective do not score a victory point. Instead, place a face down plot card into your play area with that player's control token on it.
If you have at least one plot card in your play area, gain the following ability: ACTION: Purge the Firmament's faction sheet, leaders, planet card, and promissory note, then gain all of the faction components for The Obsidian.
