or
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.
