Card text:
"When you close a location, you may attempt to acquire any allies left in that location deck."
"When you acquire an ally, put it put it into an ally pile next to this scenario card."...
Does the second portion only refer to allies acquired via the first part, or all allies acquired during the scenario?
Does it only apply to allies acquired using a check to acquire, or also allies gained through other means (ex: add a card to your hand)?
My feeling is all in the scenario, and only through checks, but I thought I would confirm.
If they are separate lines, then I would agree they are separate powers and so it applies to all allies acquired. But not, adding a random card to your hand isn't acquiring. Charm Person, for instance, doesn't use the word acquire, so it isn't acquiring and wouldn't be affected. There are times you acquire cards without checks, in which case the scenario rule applies. So look for the word acquire.
Man I wish I had my cards.

All that is correct.
