I play that if it trashes the whole running team then it is trashed, if a
runner survives then the run can continue

If I remember correctly the official FAQ says that it must be defeated using
only silenced weapons,
e.g. you have a team where two runners have pistols with silencers, one with
the ranger X, and one with no weapons. If you add the threat rating of the
unarmed guy his natural weapons are not silenced, therefore the alarm woould
be set.

>3. Probably not important for game purposes, but why is the Chomps 2000 Guard
>Dog an Awakened challenge? It looks like a robot to me.

IMHO, although he looks like a robot, he is more a cyborg than anything, so
that would have to put him in something like the Awakened or Personal
challenge category, and I think that the awakened is closer as most of the
personal challenges are cards that have methuman members e.g. Knight errant
guards.

Hope this helps,

Jason
