So when playing Absolute Zero you have Focused Apertures on which increases cold damage by 1. Then you play Modular Realignment which lets you put an equipment from the trash into play and it deals himself 1 fire and cold damage. You decide to get Null-Point Calibration Unit which says instead of taking cold damage you gain that much life.
So my question is does the equipment come into play first then he is dealt damage which would mean he takes 1 fire then gains 2 hp from the cold damage or does he just take 3 damage? I feel like the first scenario would be the one that is true but I thought I should make sure.

From what I can see, everything is done in order, and one step is not taken until the previous step has finished. In this case, "Search the trash and play an equipment" must be completed prior to "Deal self one cold and one fire damage," which would mean that the equipment card is in play before the damage (healing) can occur.

So, in the example cited above, the following events would happen in the following order:

The sequence of events gets even more complex if Isothermic Transducer is in play. In that case:

Cryochamber makes this sequence of events *even more* thrilling... and that's why I love Absolute Zero :)

Let me see if I can work this out. Imagine that Legacy has used his Galvanize power and Absolute Zero has Focused Aperture, Isothermic Transducer, and Cryo Chamber, then uses Modular Realignment to get the Null-point Calibration Unit and put it in to play:

I'm pretty sure that's right -- just using this post as a way to work through it all.

That is correct. Also, Isothermic Transducer can damange any target, including Absolute Zero himself, at which Cryo Chamber comes into effect again, allowing a grand total of 8 healing at this point. Also, if you have Coolant Blast in play, it becomes that much more interesting.

Everyone here is full of correctness! Also, I love Absolute Zero :)
