I agree with Matb on this as well. This is how we play it. and as for
others having the right to intercept if you trash all the challenges, to
this I would say no. All you would have to do is declare your run.
There are unrevieled challenges on the objective that you will have to
face, so your run cannot be intercepted. Reviel the first challenge and
see that it is electrical and then have your decker turn the crash
program destorying all challenges on the objective. This is a legal
sequence of play that doesn't allow for intercepting. The way I see
things anyway.
