But the corp will have to give him nutriments, to give him a *home* and to
keep the secret hidden, which requires big costs (security, well paid
executives ...). It seems much more easier to give some bread to a squatter
or to ask for people to give it for free. However, your soultion seems good
for having the rarest supplies.

I thought about something like this but I'm not sure you can already use
multiple samples in a ritual... Perhaps it would require some magical
research from the corp.
