Last night, I ran my second *ever* session of Shadowrun with my group. I've got a great group, with a veteren player who helps out the newer players, and helps me keep everyone in check. We ran the first of the official missions last night, and I thought that things went pretty smoothly.

The problem is the street sam. She's a very nice girl, but wasn't thrilled about the mission last night. I know that there wasn't a lot of combat in that specific run, and I told her that. She wasn't happy that she didn't have a lot to do, because so many of her skills are combat ones. I even put in some ghouls for them to fight, but the technomancer decided to run them over. Multiple times. So he killed that problem pretty quickly, and then proceeded to boss her around for the rest of the session, as her character kept failing composure checks. And he pretty much trashed her van, but she strong-armed him into paying for it.

So my question is this: Do I throw more combat at her? I've never played a street sam, so i'm not entirely sure if she just wants to blow everything up, or what? She did a very good job of roleplaying, considering it was her second session. What kind of challenges should I give her so that she's happy? I've played every other class that's on the team, so I know what to give them, but she's just a puzzle to me. She has an awesome character background and did a nice job of writing her up, but I'm not sure what to do with her. Any suggestions?
