Something that still says we’re determined to leave no ass un-kicked, but in a more subtle fashion… it’s hard to get a Senior Executive VP to approve a ginormous chunk of their budget and attend weekly status meetings for something called Project SuperAwesome or Project BestThingEver4RealzYo, unfortunately.

How’s “Project _HAMMER OF BABYLON_” ? Or “Project _SWORD OF ORION_” ?

'Course, those make it sound like you’re designing an orbital weapons platform. Which…might not be a bad thing, actually. Eh? 😃

**infinitii** , I’m afraid I can’t really describe the project in any greater detail than what’s already in the OP, because any more info would a) make it pretty obvious who I work for (for the Canadians, anyway) and b) cause potential issues with my non-disclosure agreements.

**mnemosyne** , I love yours. It’s absolutely perfect, and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it sooner. 🙂 That’s going on the list, first thing on Tuesday!

**Sunspace** , I like yours too… acronyms are tricky, but maybe I can figure out something in French that fits the bill. Hey, can you think of any cool Esperanto words that might be relevant?
