   They tell him the truth toward the end of the interview, before he   
   signs on. But: 'He thought of two options: this was an elaborate   
   psychological test, or these people belonged in a mental ward. He   
   decided the safest route, whichever was true, was to play along.'   
      
   The corporation is real, their work with the DoD is real, and most   
   importantly, their money is real, so continuing to play along remains   
   his best option.
