    Question 1:

    Hassassin Ayyar has three holoechoes, 1, 2 and 3. 2 is the real Ayyar.
    Holoecho 1 is visible around a corner, 2 and 3 are not.
    Taskmaster declares shoot against holoecho 1 with a Rocket launcher.

    What AROs can the Ayyar choose? If he tries to dodge, it'll become a Face to Face roll, right, despite the fact that the Taskmaster cannot see the actual model? Can he instead shoot back, despite not being able to see the Taskmaster?

    Question 2:

    Hassassin Ayyar has three holoechoes, 1, 2 and 3. 2 is the real Ayyar.
    Ayyar declares a Movement short skill.
    He ends in a position where holoecho 1 is visible to an Alguacil around a corner, 2 and 3 are not.
    The Alguacil elects not to Delay his ARO, and instead declares Shoot as an ARO.
    The Ayyar declares Move again as his next short skill.
    He ends in a position where all the holoechoes can be seen by the Alguacil.

    Do the Alguacil have to shoot at Holoecho 1, or can he now change target to shoot at any holoecho of his choice?

    Assuming that the template covers the real model, yes it would be a FtF roll if the Ayyar declares dodge as an ARO. The Ayyar cannot shoot back, because there is no direct LoF. This case is not significantly different than any other situation involving impact template weapons.

    The Alguacil had to declare a specific target at the moment of the BS Attack ARO. So it may only shoot at holoecho 1. This is similar to the way coordinated orders, fireteams, g:sync, etc. all work.
