Here's the situation. Two shadowrunning teams happen to infiltrate the same building at roughly the same time. Neither team knows about the other, and they are going after different targets. HOWEVER - midway through the run, Team A sees Team B running off with what looks like Team A's objective. Team A immediately starts shooting both spells and bullets at Team B, whereas Team B lobs a couple of smoke grenades and tries to GTFO. At this point Team A realizes that their objective is NOT the same as Team B's and they quickly grab what they came for and head towards the exit. Once outside, they run into Team B once again, and start shooting, critically wounding one of Team B's member. To add insult to injury, Team A then STEALS Team B's objective, figuring they'll be able to fence it for additional cash.

What's the in-character etiquette here? Does Team A deserve a very bad reputation hit because they fired on another group, and stole something from them without significant provocation? Or is your take on the SR universe more "Every shadowrunner for themselves", and it's kosher to take what you can by force? At the very least, Team A has made themselves a serious enemy.
