Michael Jeffers, executive at Argus corporation, was sitting in his large office, enjoying the last stock report from NBN and a nice cherry-flavored lollypop when the bell rang. He pushed the intercom button and the voice of his assistant Peter boomed in the room.
- Sir, it's an emergency!
Michael pushed the door button on his desk, allowing Peter to hastily enter, one PAD in one hand, his corporate badge in the other.
-Sir, Someone just siphoned one of our accounts at Fidgerton Banks!
- Who is he? Where is he?
- Sir, we are tracing the source right now, answered Peter while checking his PAD.
The PAD emitted a small "ping!" and Michael smiled.
-Sir, It's Andromeda!
-Andromeda? Didn't we Scorched her whole building last week after she hit that Snare!?
-Yes sir, but she must have had a Carapace or something.
The PAD ringed again.
- Sir, She's running on our remote server!
- Well, this time she won't espace us.
-Sir, that remote holds our Government Takeover plans you order to be accelerated yesterday.
For all answer, Michel put his lolliop back in his mouth.
-Sir, the response team is waiting for orders!
This time, both the PAD and Micheal's console rang loudly as the ambiant ligth turned red.
-Sir, she stole the plans. What are your orders? Sir?
Only the sirens answered Peter's panicked question. He stayed here, watching Michel, waiting for a reaction until the PAD pingged again.
- Sir, the response team found her! She was hacking from a public terminal near Gila's arcology. They're bringing her here.
After a few minutes, the door opened and two heavily armed Argus agents dragged a wounded young women with cables still hanging from her forehead.
- Well, well Mrs Andromeda, we meet again.
Michael opened the top drawer of his desk and picked a gun he pointed at the criminal.
- I'd say it's nothing personnal, but corporations are people, too
High-Risk Investment will let you place that Punitive Counterstrike no matter how rich the runner is.
Install a Project Junebug in your remote and start advancing it. If the runner does not run on it, just keep advancing. Does he/she really want you to score Government Takeover ?
If you're ahead on credits (or have scored High-Risk Investment and the runner still has no adgenda points, just Fast Track a Government Takeover and start advancing it, protecting it with your intimidating eyes.
Scorched Earth is just here as tag punishment. It's not your go-to kill option (which is Punitive Counterstrike). If the runner keeps tags, don't hesitate to blow his/her building up, especially if that rids yourself of a Plascrete carapace or I've had worse.
Eat a cherry lollipop while playing for maximum badassness

I hadn't thought of Titan Transnational, the 2 influence sure look nice ;) Thanks for the hint, I gotta try it!

Curious why you chose Argus for this deck (outside of great theme synergy). Usually, the runner only has to steal 3 agendas to win (occasionally 4 or 2) so at most you're taxing 4 cards, 4 credits + 2 clicks or a split of the two. Doesn't seem to be worth it when either Core Weyland could give a money boost of up to 15 credits or Titan could give you 17 inf and high-risk investment counters or, well, Blue Sun. Just curious on the thinking behind ID choice.
