decloak
Drop the camouflage
To decloak is to emerge from concealment, dropping whatever hides you from view.
The word comes from science fiction, where cloaking devices render spacecraft invisible: The Romulan warbird decloaked off the starboard bow.
More broadly, it means to reveal yourself or your intentions after operating covertly: The company finally decloaked its acquisition strategy.
