Irony: the original bladerunner novel was about a courier carrying surgical instruments so that the doctor would not be arrested for black market medical treatment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bladerunner

FWIW I was a Galactic Pot-Healer fan.

No, but their badges are. Or were. I guess it's a pars pro toto thing.

And people don't eat Cheez-Its when they spot cops, either!
