Hello, Volgerle.

About the first one - the symbols are very interesting. For example - a hangar normally contains? Planes. Probably the energy body you found yourself was not able to go beyond the limitations of the plane you were on. That's why "the sky was the limit" in this case.

The little robot you met could have been something similar to what Kurt calls a robot - the consciousness of a place that shares information with you, this time maybe why you can't get through the boundary. The microwave-oven like looks might be a clue. What is a microwave? A wave of high frequency. And what you heard were beeps.

This probably was a kind of communication you did not have enough skill to decode yet. Maybe that's also why the factory operator you met did only look at you. There's a phase during the developing of the communication skills where nobody seems to say very much (because you are not able to pick it up yet).

Cheers,
Oliver
