What happens when you run on R&D, Access it, and the card that you first pull is an ICE?

It has no trash cost, and cannot be stolen. so what is the effect? end of run?

The card stays on top of R&D.

ok, cool, thanks for the advice. I figured as much, since you can't trash or steal it. So you can't continue through it like if it were trashable.

Not sure what you mean by this. Where would you continue? The run has already been successful since you're accessing cards. There's nowhere else to go.

well, in the section about multiple card access, it says that you can continue accessing cards if you can steal or trash the card you see. at least that is my interp of it.

As accessing multiple card: when accessing multiple cards from R&D, the runner must draw them in order from the top of the deck, and must retunr any cards not scored or trashed in reverse order, so as to preserve their positions in R&D.

The runner must fully resolve his access to a card (steal it, pay to trash it, etc.) before accessing the next card.

(am i just misinterpreting this?)

Ah but I see here where it describes access to R&D as "just the top card".. i guess that resolves it for me.

You're misinterpreting it a little bit.

Doing nothing to an accessed card if you cannot steal or trash it is successfully resolving the access, and you move on to the next card you are eligible to access, if any. Any card you did not trash or steal goes back to where you accessed it from (and in the case of R&D, making sure to preserve the order they were in).
