The suspicious device turned out to be a medium-sized rodent wearing some type of nine-banded combat armor and a long nosepiece. The intruder had to be wrestled into security vehicles after rolling up in a ball and refusing to budge, making hissing sounds at security personnel. He was taken inside and held for questioning while the facility waited for DHS 'information encouragers' to arrive. The creature suffered the waterboarding attempts quite well, but disliked the hot rock floor – thsi forced him to shriek quite louldy at times disturbing the other animal. his being held for further questioning after – according to facility security sources – he refused to provide any explanation as to the purpose of such armor.
