<p>A runner has "Bank Job" ( <a href="https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/01029" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/01029</a> ). Can he (or she) make a run on a remote server without any installments (ice, asset, upgrades, agenda)? In other words, can a runner just spend one click to take all the credits from bank job? Reference on the rules will be great!</p>
