When you talk about the classified operation before it was an operation that could be classified because it was still a science fair project.

When you classify something, you need to be sure who already knows . . . if too many people know, classifying it is pointless.

I don't know about that...

Zoologists classify stuff all the time, and they don't seem to care who knows...

Anybody remember the Science Fair kid who scraped the Americium dot from a metric shitload of used smoke detectors so he could make a demo desktop nuclear reactor? Various governmental agencies were promptly and deeply involved....

"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead."

It's probably too late for that, in this case.

Even though Bud is, essentially, forever 18 or so, it's been so long since she was 15 that she's forgotten what it was like...

I'm kinda missing the days when Bud would pretend to be really dumb after hurling golf balls at escape velocity. Nowadays, she doesn't seem all that interested in rocking them shorts. I can't remember if they were "Daisy Dukes" or not, though.

Bud is about to face her toughest security challenge yet, teenagers. They are going to talk to their friends about everything, including their classes. And with all due respect, Scarlett’s AP Science project came first; Scarlett is only going to Bud, because the normal, scholastic, avenues, are no longer sufficient. So Scarlett’s teacher, her friends/classmates, and quite possibly her Academic Advisor, all know about this project. Trying to retroactively classify this, after it had been already talked about, with so many people, is just not going to happen.

I'm pretty sure Bud will pop back up on the Island before too long...

I highly doubt that Bud is allowed to wear, "daisy dukes", on the job; I am quite positive that they do not qualify as, "professional attire".

Kevin could probably get away with it.
