Summer's high school friends think she's monitoring their phones and listening in on their conversations. They speculate about the "wild things" she does at work and jokingly accuse her of being a spy.
"They like to have fun with it," Summer says. But her friends might be forgiven because when the 18-year-old wasn't in class at her Maryland high school this past school year, she was at her job in the sprawling National Security Agency complex at Fort Meade in Maryland.
There, she works "somewhat in cyber," she responds cryptically when asked what someone in their teens would be asked to do for the NSA, which leads the American intelligence community's electronic signals intelligence gathering and code-breaking efforts.
Equally cagey on that front are Brianna and Simon, two other high school seniors who interned at the NSA, who said over the past year they worked in language translation and cyber, respectively. Their last names are being withheld for security reasons.

I have no knowledge of anyone or anything regarding the field, other than short time in a vault on op5027. Boring host-nation support for depots.
