Dengar has a target lock from a prior round and was shot at by the ship he has locked. Dengar also has Zam crew and the "you should thank me" condition in play. Both Dengar's revenge shot pilot ability and the Zam condition trigger "after you defend". The question is this... can Dengar opt to revenge attack first and spend the target lock he already has on the attacker, then after doing this take a target lock on the same ship using the Zam "You should thank me" condition? Both trigger after defending but it is unclear if Zam now works after Dengar has become an attacker using his ability.
