Investigation and Misdirection

Phil hesitated for a moment before he said, "I need to investigate him again."

Staring at Luke, he said solemnly, "I'm willing to believe there's no problem with the conclusions you drew from his answers, but I can't just give them to Director Fury like this, so I need him alive."

Luke nodded. "Okay, he's yours."

Phil: …Wait, did you say all that just to add to the atmosphere?

Of course Luke wouldn't answer his question. Could he say that he didn't want Nick Fury to think that Big Dipper was too easy to talk to?

He took the "helmet" off Lamar's head and put it in a box on the side. He then took out a Thousand Faces System and tossed it to Phil.

Phil subconsciously caught it. "This is…?"

Luke said, "There's a surveillance system in Lamar's eyes. The person behind the scenes probably knows what you look like as a woman now. This Thousand Faces mask also has a male and a female model, and has never been used before."
