The hologram nodded. "Well, that works for me. I'm sure you can deal with sub-contracting without involving the Board. That's what you're paid for after all."

His most damning characteristic was how trusting he was. The fact that the aforementioned group of sharks-in-suits had elected him confused him a little, but he generally paid it no mind. When the universe unexpectedly gives you a large wage and a position of prestige, who are you to complain? A thought which failed to blunder into his neural headlights was that they may have chosen him specifically because he was easy to manipulate, and perhaps a suitable scapegoat should things go wrong.
