Ohara resists a faint smile. This lieutenant’s style of questioning is so
transparent it’s absurd. "I’m sure that must seem odd to an outsider. However,
the fact is that when I first came on board about two years ago, I conducted an 
intensive survey of all Exotech personnel. Part of my charge, you see, was to 
shape up an industry loser. I did that from the ground up. Rebuilt the entire 
architecture of the corporation. Once assured that I had the right people in the 
right places, I could afford to delegate authority properly. Now I concern myself with the corporation’s overall
strategies and leave the day-to-day details to my subordinates."
