Distract him with nothingness. Give him such a sense of urgency that essentially he becomes immobilized in an abyss. Isolate his being from the fellowship of others by filling his toils with busyness that leads to a cloudy sight in view. Make him covet the goal and not the means itself. Entrap him emotionally where his effectiveness to glorify the Other is shutoff, whereby there is no further devotion to the other side advancing or being worshipped. Make him apathetic. Undermine his power in the Other. Keep him constrained in work.
Grant nuggets of achievement to entice the sense of purpose every now and then. Drown out recreation with the guilt of futility. Comfortably be by his side as life becomes tranquil. First isolate, second divert, third make an offer, and fourth attack. Stick to the plan Sliver and you will surely succeed. If only we can get rid of the resources. We will have to counter with more ammunition of ours. Before long, the bombardment of our offensive will push aside our enemy. Yes, just as you are to me, we will make him one of our minions. Good work Sliver, make your presence unknown, but continue to persist. Your efforts will surely make a lasting mark.
