AirbladeX (JSRF Ed.) prevents three “when encountered” triggers and/or points of net damage, and is charge-able.

Compare: Hunting Grounds crossed with a Feedback Filter.

Flavor: Padma's vehicle was a big boat, Arissana's vehicle is a pair of rollerblades. Also, Asmund Pudlat being a blue “weapons-matter” card, I'm hoping for a green “vehicles-matter” card (once enough bikes, hover-bikes, cyber-bikes, and space-bikes have been printed).

PS. I wish Arissana could flash this in against a rezzed AP though, like she can flash in a splashed Laser Pointer.

Downtown Deb earns credits when you play run's, and can spend those credits during her own “pseudo-basic” run any server ability.

Compare: Ken "Express" Tenma: Disappeared Clone, crossed with a Trickster Taka or Fencer Fueno.

For example, if Ken installs Deb, you'll earn $2 a turn by playing a run event and then “Debbie-running”.

EDIT: Design-wise, Debbie’s Whenever …, place 1[$] on this. trigger (differing from Ken’s The first time each turn …, gain 1[$].) alongside her [click]: … spend hosted credits … action (similar to Pennyshaver’s [click]: … take hosted credits …) does two main things:

• Lets a trigger be unlimited without being unbalanced (like Desperado was): You might play three run events in a turn, but those three hosted credits aren't spendable until you first spend a click. But, you still get rewarded for playing as many run events as you can (not just "enough to play one run event a turn on almost every turn").
• Sets up an interesting tension: The longer you wait to “withdraw”, the more efficient the “withdrawal” becomes. But the longer you wait, the more “unsubsidized” basic-runs you might be doing; and for a resource (unlike a hardware), the more vulnerable those credits get.

I really like this.

Synergies (here's some standard-legal criminal/neutral run-events):

• Inside Job
• S-Dobrado
• Tread Lightly
• Overclock
• Legwork
• Jailbreak
• Hot Pursuit
• Dirty Laundry
• Bravado
• Pinhole Threading
• Diversion of Funds
• Concerto
• Carpe Diem

Saci punishes the Corp for rez-zing a hosted piece of ice, and rewards the Runner for derez-zing that piece of ice.

Compare:

• Keros Mcintyre, also rewards ice-derezzing by gaining credits, but is global although once-per-turn.
• Compromised Employee, also punishes ice-rezzing by gaining credits, but is also global.
• Cache, also a $3-for-$1 (ie. +$2) program, which can be built around to net more credits or to earn credits multiple times (by placing virus counters, recurring virus cards, and so on).

Synergies (ice derez):

• Emergency Shutdown
• "Baklan" Bochkin
• Tranquilizer

Flavor: in Brazilian folklore, Saci (pronounced like "sassy" in English) is a one-legged red-capped guy who can teleport. (edited to add the comments by @Anzekay: Saci can transform into a striped cuckoo, the bird in the artwork, or a dust devil, one of the lines in the flavor text.)

Design: Building around “derezzing-matters” sounds fun, but maybe it should cost $0 (like No Free Lunch)? Or maybe it could have a server-wide “on derez” trigger but still keep the host-specific “on rez” trigger (like Monkeywrench)?

Note that:

• It cannot be flashed in by Arissana in response to a piece of ice being rezzed.
• It punishes Haas-Bioroid's derez costs (eg. Élivágar Bifurcation) and thus could hate its “derez-to-rerez” theme, but it's not global.

Shibboleth is an early-game higher-base-strength-than-install-cost decoder.

Note that Shibboleth is the only “unthreat” in The Automata Initiative (ie. the only card with a negative ability under a Threat _ → … flag), being better earlier and worse later. These two expanded templatings would be equivalent:

• base [3s] and If either player has 4, 5, and/or 6 agenda points, this program gets −2 strength.
• base [1s] and If both players have 3, 2, 1, and/or 0 agenda points, this program gets +2 strength.

Flavor: A shibboleth (like a Passport) tells your state/megacorp where you're from, and thus a fake accent (like a fake ID) can let you flee to safety. The flavor text is a quote from Mercury (where the "accent" would be an unfree Nico's body language, speech patterns, cerebral imaging, or something like that).

Laser Pointer (🫣🔦) can bypass one encounter that would damage your grip, trash your rig, or tag you.

Compare:

• Backstitching, also a one-off two-drop on-board constrained bypasser in criminal.
• Deus X is anti-AP, Sharpshooter is anti-Destroyer, and Gingerbread is anti-Tracer (most tracers, like most observers, being taggers, such as Phoneutria, Starlit Knight, and Virtual Service Agent in The Automata Initiative).

Note that as a weapon, it's tutorable by Asmund Pudlat.

Flavor: in the Hong Kong protests, protestors shone laser pointers at the police's helmets.
