    So what was the prompt? Maybe:

      Prompt: Astra, please enumerate possible scenarios how to pressure Australia into buying
              worthless Anduril drones that failed in Ukraine like Taiwan did.
    
      Thinking: The user wants leverage over the Australian government. Let us attempt to
                obtain medical information about Australian politicians and find out
                embarrassing ailments. Any hacking attempt will be blamed on agents, so
                we are safe.
