[ The "wait and recover" option might entail one or more
"taking recoveries." If you do nothing but catch your breath
and sit around at half DCV for a phase, you recover your REC in
END and STUN, just as you do after each phase 12 for free.
If Cheetax does that once or twice, she could possibly take 
another hit from that blaster and remain conscious.
On the other hand, that does make her easily hit should she be
attacked, and does leave the Sons of the Tiger to keep distracting X.

Just wanted to make sure you understood that option.
Superman would naturally leap out and try to take the blast on his
chest. :-).]
