ALIEN INTERVIEW - THE NEW EARTH - Earth Changes and The ...

"May I ask why not?", I said. I was a little confused as to why she wasn't willing to
do such a simple thing.
"If your commander does not trust his own staff to make an honest and accurate
report to him, what confidence will my signature on the page give him? Why will he
trust an ink mark on a page made by an officer of The Domain, if he does not trust
his own, loyal staff?"
I didn't quite know what to say to that. I couldn't argue with Airl's logic, and I
couldn't force her to sign the document either. I sat in my chair for a minute
wondering what to do next. I thanked Airl and told her I needed to go ask my
superiors for further instructions. I placed the envelope of the transcripts in the
inside breast pocket of my uniform jacket and began to rise from my chair.
At that moment the door from the gallery room slammed open! Five heavily armed
military police rushed into the room! A man in a white laboratory coat followed
closely behind them. He pushed a small cart that carried a box-shaped machine with
a lot of dials on the face of it.
Before I could react, two of the MPs grabbed Airl and held her firmly down in the
overstuffed chair she had been sitting on since the first day of our interviews
together. The two other MPs grabbed my shoulders and pushed me back down on
my chair and held me there. The other MP stood directly in front of Airl, pointing a
rifle directly at her, not more than six inches from her head.
The man in the lab coat quickly wheeled the cart behind Airl's chair. He deftly
placed a circular head band over Airl's head and turned back to the machine on the
cart. Suddenly, he shouted the word "clear!"
The soldiers who were holding Airl released her. At that instant I saw Airl's body
stiffen and shudder. This lasted for about 15 or 20 seconds. The machine operator
turned a knob on the machine and Airl's body slumped back into the chair. After a
few seconds he turned the knob again and Airl's body stiffened as before. He
repeated the same process several more times.
I sat in my chair, being held down all the while by the MPs. And I didn't understand
what was going on. I was terrified and transfixed by what was happening! I couldn't
believe it!
After a few minutes several other men wearing white lab coats entered the room.
They briefly examined Airl who was now slumped listlessly in the chair. They
mumbled a few words to each other. One of the men waved to the gallery window.
A gurney was immediately rolled into the room by two attendants. These men lifted
Airl's limp body onto the gurney, strapped her down across her chest and arms, and
rolled it out of the room.
