This I like. Sisco is cool in he has this built in, but I like it.

It sucks to have a wanted placed on your runner, but it doesn't happen
often enough for me to use this type of card. It is well worded though.
Although I would drop the reputation loss, and increase the cost.

This I like. Although it could be a bit abusive, let me use this 1 card
to return hatchetman 2057 with 6 gear cards on him. Really effective
overpowered poor craftsmanship.
