Text
After each successful run on HQ, give the Corp a Scaldan counter. Each Scaldan counter forces the Corp to roll a die at the start of each of its turns. On a 5 or a 6, the Corp gains 1 Bad Publicity point. The Corp may remove all Virus counters at any time, but must then forgo its next three actions. If the Corp has 7 or more Bad Publicity points, it loses the game, even if it fulfills victory conditions at the same time.

As Frisco Del Rosario states, "Scaldan is perhaps the most dangerous of all the bad publicity cards." Take a look at his great article on the topic of putting the corp out of business through the use of bad press, Reverse Spin: An Overview of Bad Publicity.
