Got any plans for keeping the big guys at bay? I’ve got a few quiet tricks that might fit your style.

Sure, a few quiet tricks to keep the big guys from noticing you: 1) always move with the shadows – stay low, keep your silhouette small, 2) drop tiny, inconspicuous clues that point them in the wrong direction – a misplaced note, a false signal, 3) use the environment to your advantage – a loose board, a hidden vent, or a broken pipe that can block a path or create noise, 4) keep a network of whisper‑lines – informants that can feed you a few minutes of heads‑up, and 5) never leave a trace – always have an exit strategy, a clean way to disappear before you’re caught. Pick what works best for your terrain.
