The following are "official" replies from FASA/Jim N. to
questions I have asked:

--
>> The rules state that Prime Runners have upkeep, but Hatchetman 2057
>> appears to have none. What gives?

> Hatchetman 2057 is an exception to the upkeep rule for Prime Runners.

>> [Concerning] Poison Gas. Assuming
>> it is not sleezed, some runners roll 4+ (or whatever)
>> to get through and some do not. The player decides to
>> abort beacuse not enough runners have made it through.
>> Should the challenge be trashed or does it stay in
>> play (it doesn't say trash and hasn't been sleazed,
>> we've been playing that it stays in play).

> Answer: Poison Gas Trap would be trashed.

And the MOST obscure question....

>> I had played Security Camera as a challenge on an objective. I was
>> running on the objective when my opponent played the "Blindsided"
stinger,
>> causing me to have to face my own challenges. The only challenge I had
played
>> was Security Camera whose instructions say that it is to be put back in the
>> hand and replaced with another challenge when triggered. The question is:
>> what happens here?

> Answer: Security Camera would return to the shadowrunning player's hand (you,

> for you to face instead of Security Camera. If your opponent had no Challenge
> to put down in place of Security Camera, you'd "luck out" and continue the
> shadowrun.

Hope these are helpful.
