Keep in mind one important thing: There is only one intercept allowed per
Shadowrun. Ever. So if he leaves that Objective undefended two turns in a
row, and intercepts you the first turn, then you get it for free.

Now I see WHY that rule is in the book... To prevent decks like that to
work... Interesting...

In short, your opponent is cheating you :]
