Pardon the sarcasm -- it's a primitive, yet sometimes effective means of
demonstration:

So, when Static Recons, he actually jumps out of his chair, bolts out
the door past Knuckles, and scopes out the ARES High-Rise Metroplex with
a pair or binoculars, eh?

Obviously, when Hawkwind starts applying her shamanic healing power to
another Runner, they've got to hustle down to the local DocWagon's,
rather than summoning healing energies on the spot -- and those
hermetics, can't actually have the circle in the basement of your squat,
either.

And, if Knuckles *does* Guard Static after all, suddenly *he* disappears
from the spot -- and Scorpio can't guard him in turn!

Now, I can see McDeven having to leave his doss to "ask a few friendly
questions" to a suspect, and I can see Kromagnus going out for a gig.
But for the most part, it doesn't hold water.
