Intercepting is inherently more dangerous than shadowrunning -- you
can't use Indirect Fire (or Sniper's Roost, or even Deckers with Matrix
Programs) to assist in the intercept. Since the shadowrun is over once
the intercept happens (assuming no Stand Asides! are played), the former
shadowrunning team can't use Indirect Fire either.

Basically, whenever you have Runner-on-Runenr combat, Indirect Fire is
out of the question.. it'd be really nasty if you could include it,
though!

Nope. I don't see anything in the rules prohibiting you from helping
your opponent (assuming he has less than six Runners participating, of
course). Hey - think about it this way - you could keep him from using
silenced weapons to walk through all the Challenges!
