A shaper console in blue disguise! For the low cost of 2 credits, hardware you install after this will give you a free card. This is especially strong in Geist in combination with Spy Camera. Other hardware to combo with this console include Sports Hopper, Clone Chip, HQ Interface and Lucky Charm.
The second ability obviously works very well with Az McCaffrey, whose ability negates the +1 cost so that you can install one piece of hardware for no click each turn.
While this card will definitely see play, run-oriented criminals might still prefer Paragon. Probably won't see play out of faction either due to the 4 influence pips.
(System Core 2019 era)
Don't forget Flip Switch! Very interesting to see if big-rig Criminals come out of this.

Yes, bad pub credits are gained at 1c of the NISEI Timing Structure of a Run and "the run begins" at 1d.
