Observation notes: I found the one-eyed sphinx on the Boeing Factory floor in the main aisle it was just sitting there so I pulled my sweatshirt sleeve over my hand and reached down and put my hand in front of the one-eyed sphinx and it climbed up on my hand it sat there for a few min then it started to flutter its wings and then in flew away it was slow and I don't think it went very far.
