The FAB is nice, but it's expensive and don't the FAB, when activated, only
last a couple minutes? I'd think a high force ward would be cheaper and last
longer.

Anyone got any ideas on how to defeat/bypass it?

Slay Bacteria spell? If its a dual critter, you should be able to attack
it is astral space I believe.

They say it burns real nice a manifest fire elemental should have no
trouble taking it out or if you don't want to risk torching the building
you could have an earth elemental rip a hole in the wall (or you could
just make a really nice kill bacteria area spell and ground it through a
manifest spirit).

Conjure a fire elemental before you go in (you can't conjure anything
while you're astrally projecting), and get that to burn the FAB out of the
room. If your GM thinks its flammable anyway :)
Any elemental or nature spirit should be able to open a window, if there
is one in the room -- although it'd be a bad security setup if there were
a window in a room you intend to pump FAB into...
Also, should you be able to grouns spells out through something in the
room, you can cast Fireball or whatever into the physical plane.
