Eightification

Through the containment mesh I slid, and scanning backward from whence I came, I was intrigued with the fact that the opening from this side was identical to what I had seen on the other side, before I helped force the Elevens into their receptors. I would suppose that if I were to locate some Elevens on this side, that I might be able to cross the mesh once again.

Finding myself surrounded by One-Eight-Ones was the norm of late, but a deep scan revealed that there were more membranes nearby and that the One-Eight-Ones were flowing more rapidly in some areas than others, and it was not just One-Eight-Ones. There were some other Eight-Six-Eight molecules as well, but nearly three of every four was intertwined with a One-Eight-One, setting a naked One free and borrowing the extra Electron.

What should have been a nice and straightish Six with a pair of double-attracted Eights was now reduced to a pair of Eights with nearly double attraction, and a wider angle, with an Eight-One protrusion now hanging off of the central Six. This made for an ungainly structure that somehow managed to support an extra Electron. Why this molecule was prevalent in the soup was a mystery, but I am sure that it is all the Eight's fault. Those Eights are always up to something.
