Fall In!

More canopied molecules exited through the wider opening in the mesh. The double-size tag that broke free to open the mesh remained attached to the outside at the small end. I could still sense the strong attraction that the larger part of the tag had with the sympathetic vibrations in the mesh network. Continuing with my exiting group, I kept a ping on the double-sized tag as I scanned into my future.

Quickly acquiring locations for my local group, I scanned forward and located an nearby mesh network of slightly different construction from the one that I just passed through. Being close to the front of the pack, I tweaked my drive frequency and skipped a beat or two just to fall back from the leading edge as the group began to disperse, being no longer confined inside of a mesh.

The first of the canopied tags began to slot into the mesh network ahead. Each canopy nestled into a region of attraction that fit and shifted to gently grasp the tag, and in doing so, the frequency of the network phased and shifted in response. Approaching a slot that that was aligned with my molecule, I made minor adjustments to the phase and frequency of my canopy to match the attraction of the mesh, resulting in a strong surge forward.
