The Runner must be able to pay all of the additional cost to steal NAPD Contract at once. S/he cannot pay 3, gain 1 from Order of Sol, and then pay the rest of the cost.
Question
If Order of Sol triggers mid-Sure Gamble, can I use it to steal an NAPD with only 3c in my current pool on access?
Answer
Implications
This principle would supposedly translate to any situation involving paying costs, not just the cost to steal NAPD Contract.
