Thanks for the excerpt.
a so-called CNC machine
Really? Framing it "so-called" makes it sound esoteric and rare, while in fact it's an utterly common machine tool used in many industries to create ... pretty much anything (eg. casting dies for Lego bricks). I wish they'd tone down the alarmism (unless they know it's ordered by "Ivan's Shell Mfg. Co").
I thought this would be more like MARS, but turns out to be bare-metal
MARSCore War where I'm the scheduler. I'm not saying it a terrible experience, but I am grateful that my day job in IT is more higher-level.
