This card may not help the Jinteki win games, but it will help Jinteki give the runner headaches.
This card makes cell portal playable. Cell Portal's drawback was that you had to draw it early game, but that it was useless early game. Now you can use cell portal whenever you draw it, and you don't need to install it until you can use it effectively.

The key question is whether you can trigger her ability during step 2.3, and whether the new ICE that is installed beyond the first level of ice, requires the install cost. Will see. Official ruling needed. Great potential though.
The trigger condition is crystal clear: whenever the runner approaches the ice, not later, not earlier. When it comes to install costs, it states that the ice is swapped, so no additional costs should be required, or at least I would interpret it like that (the card "installs" the ice on its own, so it doesn't follow the rules for the regular installs that use clicks - and that piece of rules is only there to indicate the rezzed/unrezzed status).
It appears as though this triggers on step 2, immediately before the paid ability step (2.1).
Midori appears to mean "green" in Japanese, so possibly a handle for the sysop pictured. Or just a random Jinteki card name they had on their lists and wanted to use.
If used together with amazon industrial zone, can it immediately be rezzed at a lower cost?
I think it works.
Midori says it is installed unREZzed.
Amazon Industrial Zone (Trace Amount)
says when card is installed you can REZ it

Hmm the card text says to "swap" the 2 pieces of ICE so on that wording I´d think you can´t combo them.
Midori does go on to say "The new ICE is installed unrezzed" which seems to suggest you can do it.
If this combo is not intended then I´d have to say it´s poor wording.
Good for ditching Parasites and for making Femme Fatale a one-trick pony.
"The new ice is installed" is not ambiguous in any way. Does what it says on the card.

Does Midori's ability trigger Alix?

Does Midori's ability trigger Alix?

 

ICE is installed with Midori, but the install cost does not have to be paid (FAQ 3/25/15, pg.8), so it should trigger Alix just fine (it triggers Amazon Industrial Zone too, which is also in the FAQ and should cover it).

Do I have to rez her before the runner approaches the ICE? Or may I rez her when the runner approaches the ICE? For her ability to work, I mean.

There's no paid ability window at Step 2 (when the Runner approaches the ICE), so you have to get her in before that. She's difficult to time correctly for the first piece of unrezzed ICE, unless, of course, you've rezzed her outside of the run.

If she's unrezzed when the ICE is approached, it's too late to meet her trigger condition.  And you only get a rez window after the approach step, anyway, so you'd have to do it either before the run or before a previous ICE is encountered.

At 2.1 there is one, but that would be after the trigger condition has already been met. So it wouldn't work then, I assume?

 

EDIT: I could have read the FAQ before asking. It's already explained in there. >.<
