Better yet, how about changing it to a challenge, similar to Motion
Detectors. The first time the card is encountered you must repay all
upkeep costs on prime runners or the run ends and HPJ "attaches"
itself to the objective. From then on it adds a requirement to the
objective of repaying all upkeep costs on prime runners.

Something to that effect.

I like the idea of the challenge like this that makes you pay the
upkeep costs again but have it trashed after being reveiled and make
it not unique and common. I like the idea of this card the way it is
worded being as a special, because then it could be LotI. Heck if you
could LotI High Profile Job then I would think that this could be
non-unique.

I think I like this method the best so far.
