Nothing is more human than to look for a reason why bad news might not be true. In this case, the NEADS officer has an obvious candidate.
"Is this real-world or exercise?" just isn't much of a tell. Most of us who have (1) received bad news and (2) watched movies can imagine ourselves asking that in similar circumstances -- even if we didn't know of an exercise, never mind what we thought the person we were talking with knew. It's a natural elaboration on "Really?"
