I'm checking on the legality of this, because I think it's a pretty darn powerful combo...
C.Hoffman has a spell called (2) Overwrite Edict...
Activate target Construct after this model's activation ends. If the target Construct has activated previously this turn, it gains Reactivate. This model's Controller controls the target during this activation After this activation, the target cannot activate again this turn
... and an action called (0) Assimilate
This model gains one Talent or Spell possessed by target Construct within 6". Effects that reference a model by name cannot by assimilated
Now, consider the scenario where Hoffman casts Overwrite Edict on a Peacekeeper, who has already activated during that turn thus gaining the ability Reactivate.
According to Rules Manual, pg 34, Action Modifiers, Reactivate is one of the four Abilities that is collectively known as Action Modifiers. On pg 12, Abilities are defined as a Talent. Therefore, Reactivate is a Talent, and Hoffman can use (0) Assimilate to gain Reactivate, allowing him to go again during that turn. Well, not immediately after, but the point is that he gets to go again.
I searched on the forums, but this thread was inconclusive on the Hoffman Assimilating Reactivate, and I felt that the main issue relies on two things:
1) Is Reactivate a Talent?
2) If a Construct "gains" a Talent, does it count as "possessing" it for purposes of Assimilate?

When the Peacekeeper is affected by Override Edict, it gains the Reactivate effect, it does not gain a Talent/Ability. Basically, Hoffman can Assimilate things that are physically printed on the mo
