When Used

You hold the mylar scout drone aloft and take off running towards your opponent. The drone announces, "TARGETED OPPONENT IS APPROXIMATELY <1-1,000,000> <measurement> FROM YOUR CURRENT POSITION." Monster attack power reduced by 10-12 Monster defense reduced by 10-12 As you get near <it>, you start winding the string around <it> snowspeeder-style, and tangle <it> all up. The scout drone gets pretty much destroyed in the struggle.

	You hold the mylar scout drone aloft and take off running towards your opponent. The drone announces, "TARGETED OPPONENT IS APPROXIMATELY <1-1,000,000> <measurement> FROM YOUR CURRENT POSITION." Before you get there, however, that stupid tree eats your scout drone again. You hate that tree!

Notes

• Staggers your opponent 75% of the time.
• The number given for your opponent's position is a random number, and the measurement can be:
  • akts
  • angstroms
  • attoparsecs
  • bushels
  • cubits
  • drams
  • fathoms
  • furlongs
  • handbreadths
  • hogheads
  • klicks
  • knots
  • leagues
  • lines
  • pecks
  • perches
  • picas
  • red shifts
  • rods
  • sections
  • stones
  • townships

References

• The tree that eats your scout drone is a reference to the kite-eating tree, from the comic strip Peanuts, that was always eating Charlie Brown's kites.
• "Winding the string around it snowspeeder-style" is a reference to the snowspeeders that used tow cables to trip AT-AT walkers in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
• Most of the measurements are of distance. However, peck, bushel, dram and hogshead are of volume, stone is of weight, and township is of area. Redshift [sic] is a way of measuring movement in astronomy which works in the same way as the Doppler effect but it uses light instead of sound. The confusion of unit types is probably a reference to Han Solo bragging of doing the Kessel Run in "less than twelve parsecs" in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
