Q4: I have a team with someone with Biotech and I face a challenge. I
put a lot of damage on a runner knowing that I'll use Biotech on him.
The challenge is trashed and before facing the other one, I want to
use
Biotech. My oponent doesn't want that, so he wants to play GAQS.
What's the outcome of this situation ?? My runner is "healed" and
GAQS is useless (for this specific situation), or my runner returns to
the safehouse before healing the TR ??

A1: (as I see it)
i would say that the runner is healed and them you rush home to sit on
the can. Biotech can be used any time during the shadowrun, say the
end of the combat. GAQS i believe can only be use before or after a
combat. so the there should be a few moments before the GAQS takes
affect.

once again that's my take on it.

The rules state that biotech cannot be used during combat. Only before or
after. I still think that the runner would be healed first because 'fast
effects' resolve according to whos turn it is. Therefore, the biotech would
work, then the GAQS would try to hit the runner.
