"Stay bought."
and
"Keep your word."

Your honour is your reputation; no honour, no rep, no one's going
to hire you or even tell you anything that you might wind up selling
to someone else. Loyalty, when you're being paid for it, counts.

Why 'samurai' instead of 'ronin'? Because 'samurai' is more romantic
and more people know roughly what it means. No doubt in 2050 the
Japanese of the megacorps sneer at people calling themselves street
sams; uncultured ignorant westerners and all that.
