Were the heptapods physically in the spacecraft, in a separate room, blocked off by the invisible barrier? Or were they somewhere else in the Universe and possibly projecting their images or 'teleporting' to the room?
Same goes for Louise when she visited on her own and was pulled into the same realm as the heptapods
Didn't check previous posts to see if this was discussed But thought it was interesting -

Well the aliens couldn't be projecting their images. Remember, one of the aliens died from a beep load of C4 explosives. Maybe they were teleporting there, they had such huge spacecrafts. The only thing unknown is: were all the different countries talking to different aliens?
The spacecraft are supposedly vessels to travel through space. In the film, I assume the ships suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Then at the end, the ships dissolved away.
I'm thinking the ships were phasing in and out from another dimension, hmmm? -

One of the aliens died? I don't recall that.
I highly doubt those octopus are the alien's actual bodies. Most like some form of tissue bots controlled by aliens far away from earth. Or perhaps they are just AI's. -

At the end when Banks talks directly to Costello "behind the screen", she asks about Abbott and is told "Abbott is death process".
"So I've got bullets, but no gun. That's quite Zen."
