"Not impersonating," Thomas said. "Creating. There are real recruitment agencies that specialize in gray-market pharmaceutical talent. We create a fake agency. We establish it as a legitimate business with documented clients and successful placements. And then we use that agency to refer Aleksandr Volkov to The Covenant."
Marco processed the plan. It was elegant and simple, It had the kind of logic that would make The Covenant trust the referral.
But it also required more false identity architecture.
"How much time?" Marco asked.
"Twenty hours," Thomas said. "Maybe less if Claude can accelerate the database setup."
"I can do it in eighteen," Claude said flatly. "But I'll need pharmaceutical industry databases, legitimate recruiter contact information, and access to The Covenant's past recruitment records so I can make sure our recruiting firm's history aligns with their known hiring patterns."
