<CHOP>ULTRA munchkin?!?! sounds a little painful!
You've gotta be Subtle vs stuff like that...Hide in crowds. Take
Hostages/bodysheilds. pretend to be corporate
BUT THE best is DON'T fight them! never go head to head with
stuff like that.
Snipe them. Bomb them. Gas them. Report them to the police
(possesion is ILLEGAL i think, or at least should be)
Personally I'd
Netrun a unmanned cargo remote and crash 200 tonnes of fridge
freezers onto there heads.
Or Use demolition/structural engineering or RAM/structeng to
COLLAPSE a building onto them.
OR shoot one of them with a harpoon gun, them throw the cable
up into overhead powerlines

Enjoy...

CHOPPER
The Mage carefully bound the lv1 spell focus onto the Joystick,
then settled back onto the couch, slipping astrial...
The joystick started to jump as the mage grounded 'use
skill:videogame' through it.
BLEEP BLEEP BLOOP BAP BAP BAP.
All the Scientists nodded and made notes...

Of course, you could always send to a concert where the band is
using magic to create illusions. After all, there would either be a riot
or they would be under the band's mind control.

Hm. Good ideas, and good suggestions. Unfortunatly, the situation
precludes just about anything but direct confrontation (see previous
post). Good ideas though..
