Sasha creates a fitness-buddy bot, in the persona of a tavernkeeper from Prisons & Pangolins Online. If you friend this bot, it will analyze your workout routines, tell you what character class you are most suited for (the wizard option is one of the most challenging, as it requires good hand-eye coordination and very delicate timing), and congratulate you as you "level up". Like human fitness friends who might wish to join you at the gym, the bot also gains access to your location. She pays to advertise the bot to people visiting the military gyms she has identified, and embeds a few ads in the mods she's already sharing. She'll also straight-up add it as a friend on some people's accounts, if she can identify a vulnerability in the tracker code that lets her do that. After enough people have friended her bot, it will be a popular friend that's recommended to others organically.
