Q. OK, regarding +/- pumpable Challenges:

Ancients Turf
Type: Challenge
Description: (Outdoor/Street/Personnel)
Notes: 1Y: +2/-2 until end of turn. "Ancients ain't no daisy-eaters.
They're mean as trolls." Sleaze: Piloting-2 OR Streetwise-3. 7/4.

Am I able to pump an amount of nu yen into a challenge like this that
would take it's body negative. In other words, let's say my opponent
reveals Ancient's Turf. I put 6 nu yen into it, which effectively
makes the challenge a 19/-8. According to a repsonse we got from you
about the effect Milk Run would have on Chomps 2000, I'm assuming this
is legit. Ancient's Turf would be trashed after combat, regardless of
the outcome, but it will still deal it's 19 points of damage to my
opponent's Runner team. Is this actually correct?

A. I'm not sure who responded to the Chomps 2000/Milk Run question (it
doesn't ring a bell so I'm guessing it was Mike). However, you aren't
permitted to pump a Challeng like Ancient's Turf to a negative Body
value. It can go to 0 and then it deals damage and is trashed.
