1. An operator configures Emotional Simian.
2. The operator installs Emotional Simian on a system
(primary host) that we can access.

host. If the USB drives matches configured parameters
then Emotional Simian infects and water marks it.

access (secondary target). Emotional Simian will install
configured implants, i.e. Shadow.
5. Emotional Simian conducts survey or file collection.
6. Collected data is saved on the USB drive.
