Recordist's notes

A lonely bar gate intercom is continuously playing the same bips and message ("please be patient, we're trying to connect you"). There's no one waiting and no one answering, just a pigeon cooing, maybe because it's sunday. It looks like a probe sent outerpsace by an extinct civilization to reach gentle aliens.
