* CLEOPATRA refers to the use of seduction techniques. Owen has the recruits use them in a wedding situation.
* JMPALM refers to "removing" major political figureheads in Latin America, and agents involved in said operations. [[spoiler:Owen runs an operation against the Venezuelan embassy.]]
* ZRTORCH refers to communications between CIA officers and defectors. [[spoiler:Owen employed methods of communicating with a German asset he once had.]]
* FALLENORACLE FALLENORACLE is a CIA cryptonym for a secret National Security Agency (NSA) catalog database. [[spoiler:Owen runs an op against the NSA to challenge the recruits to remove all information about themselves. The AIC uses it as a mission within a mission to tap into the NSA's feeds.]]
* EPICSHELTER is or was a secret operation conducted by the National Security Agency (NSA), in which malware employed against other governments' computers could compromise them if necessary. [[spoiler:In a sort of analogous move, Lydia uses the contents of the hard drives stolen at the G20 in order to compromise the USA by revealing all its intelligence accumulated over several decades.]]
* After the mid-season finale, the focus changes to looking beyond the AIC to a greater conspiracy. LNWILT is a CIA cryptonym for the United States Counter Intelligence Corps, and obviously refers to the formation of the secret group composed of Alex and five other people, in order to track down said conspiracy's leaders.
* MOCKINGBIRD refers to the CIA's recruitment of American journalists. [[spoiler:In the episode it is revealed that the conspiracy manipulates news media in order to hide their pursuit of those who would otherwise reveal names and other information.]]
* MKTOPAZ refers to the CIA's technical services division. [[spoiler:In the episode much of the action revolves around the use of exploiting computer weaknesses to get information, as well as the use of mobile surveillance.]]

[[WMG: Nimah, Raina and Miranda created the AIC]]
* They wanted a way to entrap would-be lawbreakers within the CIA. What better way than to plant the idea of the very organization Alex and Ryan are chasing after? Through their moles in the "AIC" they can easily run covert operations like stealing all the world's intelligence data while the world is distracted by a terrorist attack.

[[WMG: Miranda has a team undercover inside the building]]
* The more that's revealed, the less likely it seems that Miranda is entirely on the side of the terrorists with no other plans. What are the chances that she, Will, and Nimah are ''all'' working with the terrorists?

[[WMG: Raina and Nimah have switched multiple times]]
* The two of them are working together again to pass along information to the FBI by being within both the group of hostages and the terrorists. This would explain why Raina passed along the boiler room comment to Miranda, because if Nimah had really been the one in the room the whole time and working with terrorists, she'd have no interest in conveying that information.

They claim to not have known about this illegitimate usage of their software, so being tarred with that brush would indeed have been unfair. However there is no reason to ever believe they were being truthful; ergo, if they stood to gain financially from the Grand Central attack (as they did from 9/11 indirectly, by getting Shelby to funnel money to them without her knowledge), then getting Shelby to go along with it on the promise of being able to reconnect with them might have been fairly easy.
