American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

The men in black are not aliens, okay?

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

They're a hired professional interrogator.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

And the other person who sets off to the side and never says anything,

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

is the person from a unit that has questions that they give to the interrogator, and he sits over there and listens for answers.

β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

That's why he sits over there and never says anything.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

And so the interrogator has a list of questions.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

He jumbles them back and forth and, you know, mixes them up and says them in different ways to see if you're going to trip yourself up.

And so he kept asking about the control panel.

And I thought when they stepped out in the hallway, I thought they want to see if somebody with my clearance has gone crazy.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

So I thought that's what it was in there for.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

But he kept asking about the control panel.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

And so about the fourth or fifth time he asked, I said, no, this is how you work it and explained it.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

and the guy over to the side slapped his leg and said, so that's it.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

I looked over and I realized, he's got one and didn't know how to fly it.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

I looked back at the interrogator.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

and grinned.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

The interrogator is trained to never make an expression of any kind.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

But his ears started turning red.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

I could tell he was angry.

American Alchemy with Jesse Michels
β€œI Saw a Mantis Alien At THIS American Military Base!” -Army Sergeant Lyn Buchanan

And within 20 seconds, I was in the room by myself.
