This bring up the question of who gets to decide whether or not your
runner is damaged? Once you use the Yamaha (or Red Widow) to join
your opponents run do they control it completely? [I'm pretty sure the
answer is yes.] What if something later causes you and your opponent
to face your runners off, ie Runners on Retainer? Does your runner
return to you, or do you have to fight it? [Not sure about this one.]

Also, could I use Red Widows ability to join my opponents run to make
sure the alarm is triggered on Eyekiller and then trash the Rapier she
has with her to return to my safehouse? [Again I believe that this
would be yes.]
