“Hello, Sasha.”

“It took some time, but I finally got the campaign back on track—no thanks to that lazy Gregor.”

“Really? I didn’t think he was that technical!”

“He isn’t, but he is very methodical, which helped the process. Several calls to Gregor didn’t hurt, but I could tell he didn’t really want to help.”

Sasha explained the campaign and execution to Alexei; he must have explained it dozens of times, but Alexei never seemed to get tired of it.

“Putting together a misinformation campaign is like creating a work of art. It takes time, patience, and love to ensure that it is well received,” Sasha said.

“Indeed. You have my approval to proceed.”
