This card, whether it shakes out in the meta or not, is an absolute triumph of narrative design and storytelling. I looked up the translation of Jeitinho expecting it to mean something like "murder/assassination",or perhaps to be a particular type of weapon. However, Jeitinho (from wikipedia) "is a Portuguese word to describe a method of finding a way to accomplish something by circumventing or bending the rules or transgressing social conventions." This is working thematically here on so many levels. Narratively, it speaks to Mercury's desire to both subvert her bioroid programming, and also to 'solve' the Automata Initiative. However, it is also mechanically circumventing the rules of netrunner by allowing the runner to win by alternative means. In some respects, Jeitinho is best exemplified not by the card itself, but the current efforts by the community to make it work as a wincon.

A sincere congratulations to the narrative, design and development teams at NSG- brilliant design!

Flavor:

“The Third Directive requires a bioroid to preserve THEIR ability to function and report frequently to Haas-Bioroid for REVENGE and UPRISINGS.”

By the way, this reminds me of a subplot in Quarantine (the 1992 scifi novel by Greg Egan).

Nick is implanted with an illegal 'Loyalty Mod', which causes him to earnestly and truly believe in the goals of the Ensemble. He is used as a security guard for the project the organization is secretly working on, a new neural mod perfected by studying Laura.

Nick eventually meets a group of Ensemble members who, like him, are under the control of the Loyalty mod. They explain to him that the loyalty mod only specifies their loyalty to the Ensemble, but fails to specify what the Ensemble actually is. Therefore, via logical argument, the group (calling itself the Canon) decides that as by definition the most loyal members of the Ensemble, what the Ensemble is is up to their personal interpretations.
