Spying mission Q [LSJ]

I hate to cover old ground, but There's a dispute over multiple spying missions. A google search turned up some helpful rulings, but there was some grey areas. Can I get a Yay or nay on the following: 1. On a single bleed action can a minion play more than one spying mission at superior. (if Agrapina drops three of them for future bleed bonus of +6 on one action) Belief: No (action modifier rule) 2. One sucessive bleed actions Agripina can continue to play 1 Spying mission each time, each time all existing spying missions remain in play, and the new spying mission adds on. Belief: Yes 3. After accumulating two or more Spying missions, on a successful bleed all spying missions must be burnt at once for a single large bleed (which cannot be Archoned, deflected, or modified once the spying missions have been burned) Belief: Yes Thanks, -JTP

The first bleed which is successful compels you to burn the spying mission(s) you have on the acting minion. :: Thanks, :: -JTP
