Here's what I got back from FASA to clear up some issues with
intercepting:

Q. Page 71 of the rule book thingy says "only one Shadowrun on each
revealed Objective may be interecepted per game."

I just want some clarification on this. Let's say in a two-player game
an objective is out and neither of us have any challenges in place to
protect it. My opponent makes a shadowrun on the objective and I
intercept with couple of my runners. One shadowrun has now been
intercepted on this objective this game. Does this mean if he draws
badly and cannot get any challenges in place on his turn that he
cannot intercept my run on that same objective?

A. Yes. That's what it means.

Q. How about a multiplayer game? Let's say Bull, Dvixen and I are
playing a game after buying our cards at Gen Con. :o) An objective is
out and unprotected. Dvixen makes a run on it and since I am the owner
I intercept. Since Dvixen wasn't able to get any challeneges out
during her turn, the objective is open as Bull's turn comes up. One
shadowrun has now been intercepted on this objective this game. Does
this mean neither Dvixen nor I may intercept and Bull?

A. Yes. That's what it means.

Q. How about the same three play game where Dvixen and I have
challenges down and Bull does not. If I make a run on that objective,
is Bull able to intercept me or is he at the mercy of Dvixen's
challenges and hoping they can stop me?

A. The Objective must be undefended against the shadowrunning player.
Bull has to hope DVixen's Challenges stop you.

Q. Finally, can Green Apple Quicksteps (GAQS) be used to send an
intercepting runner back to his safehouse?

A. It sure can!
