My plans for my new prey are simple, I'll ruin all of them gradually not out of revenge but just from boredom. I have mapped out 5 stages for each person.

Stage one for Stephanie is exposure without aesthetics. Siena taught me that, which is why she's helping me with Stephanie, I was against it but she managed to convince me.

Stephanie calls herself an influencer. But I call her a perfect prey. Sebastian got footage from some random dive bar of her being a bitch in public and I'll be leaking one. Well, Armani Broadcast will. From an Anonymous source.

The footage is of her in her lowest form. Drunk. Crying. Screaming at a barista. Not looking pretty, no filter, unedited. She'll hate it cause she didn't stage it and the internet is going to love it.

The headline will read
'Former influencer caught mid-meltdown-insider says she was screaming about 'algorithms ruining her life.'
Siena's doing.

For Adrian, it's pretty simple hes so stupid that a 2-year-old has to count how many 5s are in 15. Hes a V8 that drives like a tricycle. Nikolai is coordinating it, a gym beatdown, on camera. We put Bruce against him.

For context, Bruce looks malnourished but he fights like a smooth ghost with anger issues, his grandfather trained everyone in the base; his bloodline basically breaks bones for fun.

Anyway, the setup's simple: Adrian will get "accidentally" shoulder-checked as he's leaving the gym. He'll take the bait because hes stupid and incredibly predictable. He'll start barking with his chest out, full alpha display. The Security footage with perfect angles, obviously will catch him lunging first and getting dropped in one clean hit.

It'll be sent to Skylar, one of my soldiers, she'll leak it by "accident" with the caption "Built like a tank. Brains of a guppy." makes sure at least 80% of her followers have seen it before she deletes it. Mind u she's very influential in the fitness world. Next minute he'll be a meme. But thats only a prediction, could go well or could go perfectly.

I don't even bother learning this person's name, they like the extras you see too often. As they're not worth my time, I just send them like a bunch of identical looping graphics that they'll see when they wake up. Do you know how annoying looping graphics are?

Even worse when they're of the stupidest things. But unlike stupid, his will be of the holy grail of nasty. Like when I used a blunt chainsaw to cut this guy's arm off. In my defence, he had touched one of my rookie soldiers without her permission so I just removed it.

Or maggots. When I was in boarding school, an ugly couple filled my locker and room with maggots. I locked them in a room together with no food or water after beating them up and made them watch each other's rotten body parts get eaten by maggots as their body decomposed

Back to the person, I just wiped their phone clean, theyre lights, water and food supply are now cut, they're prisoners in their home. Their cards are also cancelled so they wont be able to go to hotels. They won't go to motels yet that'd be too embarrassing for their reputation.

For Liam, his is revenge for Jordan, I'll admit that. The rest were just for fun. Stage one, I'll corrupt his brand subtly, every time he posts, the engagement drops. Comments will shift from praise to concern. I don't even need to do anything, he has ex-friends and haters.

I'll mimic a mental decline. I've scheduled his account to post at weird times. At a random 3:47 AM, there could be a repost of an irrelevant quote and story screenshots of old convos. Gradually, It'll raise whispers about a breakdown.

"Are they okay?" will become a trending question. It will bring a lot of attention to himself which he hates because he didn't create the attention, he has no control over the attention.
