No, you're right that IDEC is staffed with some really bright people. And they may figure it out eventually.
But the point here is that Makoto has to consider the potential threat these people may pose to her realm if they figure out how to stabilize the doorway.
There's only a limited number of solutions:
1) Destroy their facilities, drive them out of business.
2) Study them and see if its possible to come to an understanding.
3) Ignore them altogether and hope they blunder into either a mistake that sends them recoiling in fear, or blows up their facility.
If you're not going to ignore them, and you don't want to wreck things as the "final solution", then you pretty much *have* to study them.
And don't forget, Makoto isn't applying to IDEC, she's applying to one of the construction firms IDEC is subcontracting the work with. This gives
her plenty of time to participate in the construction phase, evaluate what they're building, and how it will likely work, and even determine the best ways
to wreck it, if it should prove necessary.
While IDEC might figure her out eventually, she isn't showing up on their payroll. On top of that, I expect only those three are actually In On It, so the
rest of the IDEC staff wouldn't recognize the inherent significance of a girl named Makoto toting heavy machinery around a construction site that's
performing some kind of unspecified high energy research. And what's the odds that the top three will hobnob with construction workers?
That said, what would be the fun if they never found out... Still working on that one...![[Image: wink.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif)
