I heard there's a big gala next week—any idea how we can keep the crowd in line while we get the intel we need?

Keep the spotlight on the entertainment, not the entrance. Have a trusted few of our contacts mingle in the front rows and offer them a “special” backstage pass—worth more than the usual tip. While they’re busy showing off, slip a discreet recorder into the gift table, and let the gala’s main attraction—say, a dance or a speech—serve as a natural distraction. Don’t forget to plant a quiet rumor that a certain dignitary will leave early; that’ll pull a few heads off the crowd and give us a clean sweep. Just remember, the best control comes from those we trust most—those few eyes that will keep the noise at bay for us.

Sounds solid—just keep the movers and shakers tight, and make sure the pass‑holders don’t notice the recorder. If anyone starts asking questions, we’ve got to keep the story about the early exit on their lips. I’ll lock down the perimeter so no one slips past unnoticed. All set.

Sounds perfect, darling. Keep the chatter flowing about the “early exit,” and we’ll let curiosity do the rest. With the perimeter locked, we’ll have the perfect stage—just remember: every whispered rumor is a thread we can pull when it suits us. Let's keep the velvet hush, and the secrets will stay exactly where they belong.

Got it—every whisper is a cue. I’ll keep the chatter low, and make sure the perimeter stays tight. Anything else we need to set up before the night?

Just a quick touch‑up: have a quiet code word ready—“moonlit”—to signal the shift if the plan goes sideways. Also, set a few discreet exits that look like regular service doors; they’ll give us a silent escape if the crowd’s too tight. Finally, keep a spare recorder hidden in a prop—like a decorative vase—so if the first one’s caught, we still have a backup. All set, darling.
