[AUDIO INTERCEPT - DECRYPTION LEVEL: ONYX] FILE: #A88-B4/LND SOURCE: Unknown (Suspected Dragon Uplink) TARGETS: "CICERO", "LILITH" (Illuminati Rank: [REDACTED])
(Static, sound of a high-end coffee machine in the background)
LILITH: ...so the asset in Cairo is a total loss. Went full "Voice of the Aten" and tried to pay for a taxi with solidified sunlight. Messy. Marketing is having a fit about the brand exposure.
CICERO: (Sighs) Amateurs. Did you de-prioritize him?
LILITH: The Templars did it for us. Sent a whole cleanup crew. Very formal. Lots of swords. You know how they are. Honestly, it saved us the paperwork.
CICERO: Silver linings. Speaking of, what's the quarterly update on Project Chimera? The one in the New England office.
LILITH: Ah, yes. "Bob." Our pet Dragon. He's exhibiting... unforeseen brand synergy. Stopped forecasting market trends and started painting the stock ticker on the walls in his own blood. The patterns are disturbingly accurate, though. Up 12% last quarter.
CICERO: That's... profitable. Is he stable?
LILITH: Define "stable." He keeps demanding payment in "impossible riddles" and tried to unionize the server daemons. But as long as the numbers are green, management says to let it ride. Just keep him away from the interns. The last one thought he was a koan and tried to solve himself.
CICERO: (Chuckles dryly) Right. Let chaos work for us, as long as it clocks in on time. Ping me if his P/E ratio starts quoting Nietzsche. Otherwise, let it run.
LILITH: Will do. And Cicero? Don't use the third-floor espresso machine for a while. I think Bob tried to "teach it the sound of one hand clapping." It's been dispensing liquid paradoxes.
CICERO: Noted.
(Static increases, call ends)
