2/1s help with scoring plan.
Cheap Rime can help make things more expensive.
Testing out Unsmiling for more face-check, since N-pot is better later.

About
Give the runner a deadly makeover with Touch-ups + Measured Response

With no remote, the runner will constantly attempt successful runs on HQ and R&D to steal agendas and flip Nebula Talent Management: Making Stars.
Measured Response can punish that behavior. Touch-ups is both a Fast Advance tool and a kill enabler.

Scoring Plan
Ice up R&D+HQ, operation to flip Identity, score directly from hand.

4 agendas is a lot, but it only takes one turn per score given the right conditions. Next Big Thing is for lower agenda density, ability to draw the kill/boost Your Digital Life, or turn on Sudden Commandment.

For 3/2s, use Petty Cash (from Archives) and Business As Usual when possible.
At threat 3, Sudden Commandment can score 4/2s with Nebula, and 3/2s without.

Kill Threat
Mestnichestvo should be installed to have a target for Touch-ups. If not, Sudden Commandment + an Agenda can help.

Sudden Commandment and Red Level Clearance can be chained to draw the kill.
If there are extra Touch-ups in HQ, using one loads Mestnichestvo (drain runner credits), reveals the grip, and flips the identity.

Notes

Reference
Possible options to fast advance from HQ when Nebula Talent Management: Making Stars is flipped. I probably missed some, please comment with corrections.

@Diogene Thanks for reminding me about the new version of gain 2 clicks. I updated the desc. And the Rime you suggested has been great so far.
