Dedicated Response Team - Android Netrunner

Continuing with the new Future Proof cards, we have this:
Sir, is there any reason we're upside down?
Again, I like this if for the art alone. An elite commando squad almost straight out of Halo standing upside down on a building. Why, how, who cares if it looks cool.

We also hit on one of the sillier terms in the game, meat damage. Meat damage. Doing 2 meat damage means the player discards 2 cards from their hand. The confusion is there is also net damage, which does the exact same thing. In the game's universe, what does meat damage actually mean. Does it mean these guys show up and shoot at the hacker. If so, you'd think they'd be a bit more lethal. Maybe it breaks some universal multi-coorporation code, or the government actually has enough power to do something about corporate murder. Maybe these guys just break your thumbs for misbehaving, I don't know.

I would be find with body damage, but meat damage? What if the hacker is artificial, aka. no meat? This is a cyberpunk setting, so it's likely to come up. But yeah, in Android Netrunner, you can hire your own personal SWAT team.
