This Belongs in a Museum

Should runners come across an item that is historically or artistically significant, they may anonymously donate it to the museum. These items will not likely be displayed in Seattle or may just be added to a stockpile of items. As such the team should not receive any Public Awareness penalties for doing so. However Notoriety and other repercussions may still happen.

By doing so runners on the team may either

• Acquire Shean at cost -2 (Only applicable once)

Or

• Increase his loyalty by 1
