I don't see what a computer program has to do with board and card games.

@ghoppe: I guess it was my mistake. But that's the conclusion I came to when I saw the word "program." I thought it might be better for the RPG site.

# Can a Djinn host a Parasite?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-02-25)

In *Android: Netrunner*, Djinn is a program that reads:

> Djinn can host up to 3 [Memory Units] of non-icebreaker programs.  
> The memory costs of hosted programs do not count against your memory limit.

Parasite is a (non-icebreaker) program that reads:

> Install Parasite only on a rezzed piece of ice.  
> Host ice has -1 strength for each virus counter on Parasite and is trashed if its strength is 0 or less.

I'd like to play and install a Parasite such that it is hosted on an opponent's ICE (for it's main benefit of reducing that ICE's strength) AND hosted on Djinn (to reduce MU costs).
