Enoch is intrigued by the agents' apparent interest in Liminal technology. Aren't they here to investigate the plane crash? He'll deal with that bit of information later; his priority now is to obscure the viability of his illusion emitter technology. After the runaway success of the Halloween Masquerade experiment, he's been doctoring his reports to say that the tech is glitchy and not remotely ready for wider applications.
This is... half-true. He, Crysta and Doc have made notable improvements to stability and longevity since October, and it's only a matter of time before they crack the code on how to configure illusions without Enoch or Crysta's involvement at all. (Arguably, they should've shelved the project if they had serious concerns about government and military misuse of the technology, but... Well.) Enoch lies his way through the interview as best he can; friends would've known his tells, but Leonello and Lundy appear unaware of Enoch's truth powers.
Clocking Leonello's bad mood, Enoch leans into seeming impatient and irritated over being forced to explain a "failed" experiment that's easily canceled and useful for little more than party tricks. If the tech worked, which it doesn't, he intended it to supplant currently existing light hologram technology. He makes it sound ego-motivated, just one scientist wanting to outdo another scientist. Enoch presses the agents about why they're here and what they're really looking for, and takes note of Leonello's evasiveness. He tests them to see if they know about "what happened in January"; if they admit to knowledge about the plane crash, then he wants to know if they believe someone in Enodia is responsible for what occurred twelve hours later.
