3 turns in a row with Possession

It seems that even with the errata to Possession and Outpost, etc., it's possible to get 3 turns in a row like this:

* Alice regular turn, Alice plays Possession.
* Bob Possession turn, Bob plays Outpost.
(Outpost checks that it would be Bob's 2nd turn in a row, so the extra turn is given.)
* Bob Outpost turn (2nd turn in a row)
* Bob regular turn (3rd turn in a row)

Does this check out?

Possibly, but it feels OK, because that wasn't what the errata were for.

(Bob's first of those three turns is one done for Alice's benefit, not his, so although he's technically getting three turns in a row, only two of them are likely to be useful to him.)

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.

Yes, Alice wouldn't even choose to have Bob play Outpost normally. I was just wondering if it was possible.

Yes, nothing prevents your regular turn from being a 3rd turn in a row.
