My wife currently works as the test lead for the NRO's next iteration of the Sentient/ECO program and they named the new program Cyberdyne. No relation to the actual Terminator program.

Her last program held a voting pool to pick a name and ended up with "Totally Not a Laser Death Ray Facility" unfortunately coming in 2nd place.

Since the basics of Sentient were only declassified in 2019 it’s possible disclosure of the fact there’s a next iteration and it’s name is Cyberdyne would constitute disclosure of classified information?

Serious question. How does one go about actually getting a job with the NRO? I’ve heard it doesn’t even have employees, just a consortium of contractors.
