Random idea, either the dumbest or most genius one I've had, I honestly can't tell:
It should be possible to run into civilians who on noticing your gals, do 'something' and suddenly there's a reaper or something between them and whatever they feel threatened by. Basically players of an augmented reality game, the summoned creature might be a normal hologram, and therefore can be ignored, a hard light hologram, which can't be ignored, but will go away if you beat down the player, or an actual summoned beast, in which case things can get messy, with no major indication of which you've got. The only item that would actually be useful to the gals, I think, would be the second, first could be broken down into a computer and some sort of projector, second into Church forcefield stuff, and I have no idea what the third could be broken down into.
An important part of this idea is that if you have a gal using one of these devices, she can summon her own creature, and as long as no one attacks the player, the two creatures will fight, if yours wins, the player will surrender, while if the player wins, you have an option to abort the mission, as if all your gals were safely in the ship. Aborting would give you a decent score, for playing along, while declining, clubbing the player, and finishing normally will have a decent sized negative infamy for dishonorable conduct.
Basically, you'd have the option to decide the fight through a childrens card game.
So, moronic or genius?
