This time, a section of the wall seemed to become transparent then became a map. I couldn’t read the words, although I did figure that the red blinking dot at the bottom of the shaft was where I stood, and the blue dots that were moving off in 3 directions were the directions I could travel.
I said aloud, ” Boy, I hope I’m not getting into something I can’t handle.”. Again, the voice spoke, ” handle?”. There were some mechanical garble noises.
The voice spoke again, “Something you can handle?”.
Feeling strange I replied ” Yes, so I wont get into trouble.”
The voice replied in my language ” You are on manual control. turn the handle toward you to go down, away from you to go up, twist left to go left, right to go right, and return handle to center to stop. Vehicle will automatically stop when further progress is no longer possible.”
