Cacophony Conquered

I kept chatting with the canopy team as we drifted. Sneaking a quick peak between taps, I spotted a number of stuck and writhing tags that had finished their task and were being slowly recycled. That's when I asked the team where they wanted to go. The confusion in the reply was more about the concept of desire. Simply put, anywhere other than where they were was preferred, yet they had no real idea of where it was they had been.

I recalled spotting a structure that might be visible from our new position, and asked if they were interested in a more active smash job with a lower waiting time between runs. Of course they were interested. It was their dream job. Leveraging their anticipation, I finally got them to cease the incessant tapping for a short break.

I scanned immediately. We were not as far from our starting point as I had imagined we might be. The view blocked by structures that we had left. Drifting is as it is. I did plot a clear path and identify three markers that I could quickly locate on a rescan. Now, all I had to do was complete the negotiation and get them back on the task of running the Synchro Drive.
