High force personal bullet barrier, high force elementals, and run like
hell. Then I wait a couple months for your street sammie gets brain
fried from his MBW, and his muscle aug goes into overstress, then kick
back and laugh my scrawny ass off before capping you off with a
streetline special at pointblank range to your forhead, which you might
be able to do something about if you weren't having an epileptic fit. =)
But then, I've also seen high chrome street sammies get really screwed
over by mages they underestimated.
