question the "assistant" or whoever made was directly about the Foxy Roxy
question, and it did not seem to imply any questions about the other
responses. Secondly, IN THE RULES, it says that cyberware can NOT be
swapped, replaced, or removed once deployed on runners (pg33). This is not
said for Spirits or Drones. So I don't think it's a 'logic' thing, I think
his ruling just follows by the rules of the game. Anyways, the second post
was not signed by a specific person, so I couldn't tell you who to ask!
Well, thanks for all the discussion, guys! Have fun, and I love the list!
