you know, I never thought to describe it that way, but I guess that's pretty close, yeah. My family knows I work for the military, and my former aide knew a lot more about my work for obvious reasons, but they don't know I work with alien technology. Thinking of it as being a sort of superhero does make it sound a lot cooler.
Well, that's part of why it's under wraps anyway. Part of it is also the fact we've come across several races that aren't exactly fond of humanity. Some have good reasons, some...not so much. So I suppose we're trying to keep the masses from panicking about alien invasions or something.
As far as the big plan...really, I'm not high enough up the chain of command to really know the big end goal. I know the plans for some of them, like one of the bases was established off planet because it was the best place to try to unlock the function of a piece of technology due to the planet's unique core. It turned out to be a bit of a disaster, but we did learn from it.
