STRATEGIC GAMBIT. Select one enemy operative. Until the Ready step of the next Strategy phase, it gains your Haunting Focus token. The next time your opponent activates an enemy operative that has your Haunting Focus token, if this operative is ready, you can interrupt that activation and activate this operative. If you do, during that activation, this operative must fight against or shoot against that enemy operative, and cannot do so against any other enemy operatives until it does (if this isn’t possible, this operative’s activation is cancelled). After completing this operative’s activation, continue that enemy operative’s activation (if possible).

▶ Select one enemy operative that’s a valid target for this operative or is WITHIN SHADOW. Until the start of this operative’s next activation, until it’s incapacitated or until it performs this action again (whichever comes first), worsen the Hit stat of that enemy operative’s weapons by 1 and subtract 2" from its Move stat (these aren’t cumulative with being injured); in addition, that enemy operative’s APL stat cannot be added to (remove all positive APL stat changes it has). ◆ This operative cannot perform this action while within control range of an enemy operative, unless the only enemy operative it’s within control range of is selected for this action.
