All I'm saying is that to play NERPS!, you must choose a runner to put it
on, and I don't think that some one should be able to effectively change the
receiving runner by changing the card. I don't think that they should be
able to SoC the NERPS! (Already headed to your Skwaaaaaark, too late to
change that) into something your Skwaaaaaark couldn't hold. I don't play
that you can go back on your decisions after they've been said out loud,
"I'll play a Muscle Replacement on Fastjack" "I'l play a Cyber-psychosis on
him" "Never mind that, that was stupid anyway, I'll play Beretta instead."
You get the idea. Personally, I think that the whole reason that I dissagree
with you comes from what we agree on, that SoC shouldn't be able to change
the runner that NERPS! is going to. I just think that you shouldn't be able
to either.

I agree, Skwaaaaaark is not the target of NERPS!, but he has already been
chosen to receive the gear, which means I think that the whatever gear it
ends up as must end up going to him.

See above. IMHO I don't think you can do that, as the NERPS! should have to
stay a Gear that the runner can hold. It is exactly the same situation as
above. Skwaaaaaark is not a mage, so the CF couldn't be played on him, and
they aren't a legal target for the SoC

SoC only changes the target of the card. In this case, the target is the
runner involved, not the type of runner they will become.
