On Final

The Electrons in the canopy were happily circulating in their swingshot mode, as we accelerated toward our slow in the mesh ahead. Locked on to the frequency of attraction from the mesh, the group in the canopy advanced the frequency to continue accelerating. I certainly did not tap them into doing this, but I was not about to tap them to a stop them either.

Scanning sideways, I tracked the speed and path of other canopied tags, and noted that their canopies too, were accelerating if they had locked on to a slot in the mesh ahead. As hard as we were working to speed up, the others were already slightly ahead of us, and working just as hard. On the next sweep, I noticed that the farther molecules were begging to slot in.

As each circular wave of tags slotted into the mesh, the frequency continued to increase in pitch as the mesh tightened up. Scanning forward, my slot was getting closer as it was also moving farther away. My closest neighbors slotted, and I spun and ducked between the Seven and the 4th Six to avoid the nastiness of impact. Unlike the earlier molecules that slotted and stuck, as the canopy of my molecule passed the locking formation at high speed, the locks folded back and did not return.
