Scenario one: "Mayday, mayday, some slitch just slagged me down with a
hell blast. I need immediate magical support!". Lone Star Combat mage turns
up astrally, with a few buddies in tow (read, elementals), sees the
situation. Gets the elementals to take out the mage, and buggers off back
home to tell them off the situation (or maybe he sends a watcher). A few
minutes later, the HRT or SWAT team rocks up, loaded for Dragon.
Scenario Two: This is a real beaut... if you've got the LS Sourcebook,
you'll notice that, all over Seattle, there are drones doing little more
than monitoring traffic flow. To do this, they've got cameras. If they slag
down a vehicle, especially a Lone Star vehicle, those cameras are going to
start taking notice of them, like taking photos. Next thing you know, beat
cops recognise them, the street low-lifes know that there's a large reward
out for them, etc, etc. (Oh, also it's possible to mount weapons on those
drones, and that camera makes one nice gunsight... :) )
Actually, the real problem is you've let your characters get too powerful.
One really nice way to solve this problem (especially if they live a
high-profile lifestyle) is the old sniper shot. Put a bounty on their heads
and let people try to collect.

A hitcher jack requires a data jack (or a simsense net).
