Tagging

Using the swap drive as I had to, I made another pass at the ringlet near the awaiting active area. After pushing it so close, I've seen exactly where it needs to go, and the rest should be automatic. I have to use the breaking maneuver to force a cascade of One-Eight-Ones to do the dirty work and set the ringlet up.

Everything worked, and in the flip-after-collision move, I got a spectacular scan as the end most Fifteen and three of it's Eight friends were clipped off. The Fifteen-Eight combination was firmly attached to the elevated Six on the ringlet. Now I know. It would be very hard to control this ringlet with such an awkward protrusion.

The removal of the Fifteen-Eight group lead to the release of the other two and the smashed ringlet triple that carried the Fifteen-Eight chain. Unceremoniously, it was buffeted away by the One-Eight-Ones that were now keenly attracted to the surface of the monster. Interesting how the patterns can change to attract, repulse and twist other molecules without the violence of a plasma or extreme agitation.
