Movement action and Interact with extraction objective

[DVeight]

Hi

This was posed at our last game. Can a character, lets say with L movement but only half of that is to the extract objective, move along the L line half way to be within 1 of the objective then use the interact to pay the power and pick up the objective and then keep on moving for the remainder of their L movement? That is, can a character move, pick up an objective and then keep on moving in the same action if there is enough movement left? 

My take was that it cannot. Character must spend move action and where its model ends completes that move action. Then if its within 1 of an extraction objective it can pay power to pick it up. Then if it still has an action left it can use it to move again.

You may not use an anytime ability, like Interact, while resolving another action such as a move action. 

In order to interact with an objective your character’s move action would have to be over.
