Q: How does the Lieutenant Special Skill interact with Isolated State? Can they still spend their Lieutenant Special Order, and can it still be used by a Trooper with NCO? Does this change during Loss of Lieutenant?
A: The Special Lieutenant Order can be used if it has already been generated. During Loss of Lieutenant it is not generated, because the Loss of Lieutenant check is before the Order Count step.
Q: What happens to the Special Lieutenant Order if the Lieutenant enters Isolated State?
A: If the Order has not been spent, it is lost and cannot be used, whether by the Lieutenant or by a Trooper with the NCO Skill.
