Cloudy Welcome

I spent so long on that ringlet that I almost forgot how to work with a pool of Electrons. The shift in potential I experienced was the approach of a pulse of Electrons along the pathway that I had just infiltrated. I spun to toward the edge of the incoming pulse edge and prepared for a bumpy ride as the pulse landed in the trigger zone.

The guarding Nineteens to swing wildly to open narrowly for a high-speed electron to eject. I spun hard to arc my path and keep a keen scan on the guarding Nineties. It was best to steer clear from that opening if I was going to stick around in the network. The continued wash of the cloud across the guards kept them swinging, allowing several random Electrons to squirt through. Somehow, this was all familiar. It was starting to coming back to me.

I began to detect small openings in the cloud behind me, and spin-flipped my way back just a layer or two, joining the random pairing of the pulse cloud. During the frequent disconnects, I swung the beam around just to take a look at the pathway. I almost did not notice that the pulse was on the return. I had travelled network pathways like this before and was happy to be back.
