Relatively Simple question:
What happens if a card effect, somehow, sends an ally into torpor?
Aka: What happens when Vivienne Géroux plays Day Operation (on [for] as an Anarch Vampire).

Allies
Allies are minions other than vampires that you as a Methuselah can control. Some allies have the ability to play certain cards “as a vampire.” In these cases, the ally is treated as a vampire for all effects generated by the play of the card, including duration effects (like “for the remainder of combat”). The ally’s life represents their blood (to pay costs etc.). Any blood they gain or lose as a vampire equates to a gain or loss of life for the ally. For purposes of that card, the ally has a capacity of 1 for use if the card requires an older vampire or a vampire of a given capacity. If the ally gains life in excess of their capacity, it does not drain off, and if the effect inflicts aggravated damage on the ally, they burn life as normal. However, if the effect would send the ally to torpor, then they are burned instead. The ally is treated as a vampire only for the effect generated from playing the card. In particular, the ally is not treated as a vampire for effects the card has from being in play (like “the vampire with this card” effects).
