Mostly a typing error (See typo) For "Espionage", espionate is actually a real word. It is unlikely to appear in most dictionaries, but I'll be damned if I can't get it in this one (perhaps I'll send it to Oxford University press too?)


Espionate:

(v) To achieve one's goal without detection; to conquer all barriers attempting to prevent reachin one's goal without destroying them.

A proffesional approach to tackling a problem.

Did you hear about the increased cutbacks this week?

Yeah, the managing director and assistant manager have been hiding in conference room A, probably discussing who they're gonna let go. There's been no sign of life other than Bonderman's eyeball when he does his routine Venetian espionage every hour or so.
