Oaks made a phone call to Nick Fury right in front of Tony.
"Mm, got it. So that means there's nothing for me to do, right? I was getting ready to leave."
"Huh? Don't joke around, Director. If I remember correctly, I'm listed as an environmental consultant...
I have no problem with Tony's matter, but since when did investigating atmospheric anomalies also fall under environmental... well, fine, it really is related to the environment."
Hearing Nick Fury's "next assignment," Oaks's gaze sharpened, though his expression and tone remained impatient:
"Still, Director, I'm a biologist. Using cross-disciplinary matters to provoke me like this—even though I'm usually pretty easygoing—I can curse too."
"What? Atmospheric anomalies?"
Tony stood nearby with a baffled expression. In plain terms, was that just bad weather?
"Yes, that's right. Atmospheric anomalies can indeed cause environmental damage, but don't you think that excuse is a little too far-fetched..."
Oaks ignored Tony for the moment and decided that he absolutely would not get involved in this matter right now:
"You suspect something fell down? Don't tell me you suspect an alien fell out of the sky and want me to study how he differs from humans?
Then find the thing first. For now, let's focus on solving Tony's problem... what? Fine, goodbye."
Oaks shrugged at Tony, who had no idea what was going on, put away his phone, and stroked his chin.
"Nick Fury will come find you personally later, and he'll bring you some things... they might help you solve the Reactor problem.
But he can only provide some information. As for how to solve it, and whether that information can be useful, that depends on you—
Whether those things can open up your thinking depends on your own insight."
"Hmm... I think I should be fine."
