If you trash cards that you don't see, and you play a card that provides a bonus or effect that depends on what card was trashed, (cf. On the Fast Track), you can ask the Corp if you trashed the appropriate type of card, but you may not look at the trashed cards or the Archives to verify this. If necessary, you can ask a third party to verify the Corp's answer. |

The Corp can rez nodes and upgrades before the run is considered successful; for instance, Dr. Dreff can throw ice in front of the Runner before the Runner can activate Death from Above. |

When Death From Above meets New Galveston City Grid, the "normal cost to trash" the cards in the fort becomes the cost of DFA's effect, so the Runner must still pay the additional 2 bits per node and other upgrades installed inside the fort. If the Runner can't pay the cost for ALL of the nodes and other upgrades, the Runner cannot use DFA's effect. The Runner only has to pay for upgrades or nodes that have been rezzed or exposed. |
