This isn't really helpful, but Kit-10 made me think of alternatively Kit from Knight Rider, and Kryten from Red Dwarf - no particular reason for this connections other than the similar names
Cadre I think is quite a common term, which to my mind lends itself quite easily to ideas of conspiracy, or a malevolent group. Again, I don't really know why, but it is hard to imagine a 'cadre' being something inherently 'good'.
