It would depend. You have two targets in a Nerps! card. One: the runner it
is played on, as you suggest. Two: the targeted Gear card, as was
previously suggested.

Being confused can cause many problems. Just look at the confusion the card
has brought to the rules of the game alone. I think the overall answer is
that when someone is confused -- anything can happen.
