Oops. I meant to say: "turned runners can not initiate damage" (A
turned runner can't use Wanted! to attack another player, right?). (You
guys and your Magic allusions. I must try magic, as everyone always
seems to imply that I play the game! )

Hmmm. If Tempest is turned, and not "present" in the safehouse, can
Knuckles turn to protect Tempest? I don't think so, but I am open to
suggestions. Anyone else have a take on this? This would mean that
runners with Biotech could turn to heal runners that are turned, like a
runner that just went to Iron Lung and received damage. I thought the
list had sort of agreed that Biotech can't be used on a turned runner,
because they aren't present with each other. No?
