That's not necessarily correct. Ninjas were also known for their skills in espionage, information gathering, and acting as messengers. So much so that they were considered over a century ahead of their time for the level of skill they had in it. Things like assassination and combat were not of primary concern for a ninja, rather about stealth and acquiring knowledge.

Great prompt! Eldritch gods are a very thought-about subject matter that isn't yet very cliche at all! Secondly you've left two interesting factors in: The cultists approaching, and you made it second-person which allows for an appeal to relatability. I see a lot of executable variety here!

I think this prompt is missing something substantial for potential posters to latch on to. Yes, ninjas were spies, saboteurs, and investigators, but that becomes interesting in the presence of the ninja theme. Adding the "corporate theme" especially kills the substance of what makes a ninja a ninja. I'll be damned if I see someone execute corporate culture ninjas without the ninjas half-well.

You'd be surprised what people can do when they come together and just do something. I say you'd be surprised because it's utterly uncommon near-completely to find nowadays. That's what makes psychology so interesting; you begin to understand the behind-the-scenes of the human condition of each and every walk of life. You know why something does or doesn't happen, and you know why it will continue to happen or not happen.

While nobody likes the idea of being slave to their instincts as we put a lot of money on independence and uniqueness, denial of that fact, and the comfort such denial provides, is ironically an instinct many humans immediately default to. Another irony is that the faulty humans known often as misanthropes are the best at getting past their instincts, and not enjoying seeing human instincts and their detrimental effects on societal outcome from outside the box of influence.
