Flip and Rebound

While watching the Shorties, I had hopped a Seventeen to get a better view. I traveled farther into their zone that I had anticipated, and I had ventured too close to a meshwork. Ensnared in the vortex of vibrating ones that had opened below me, my Seventeen began to fall into the abyss of an inactive network pathway.

Not willing to get trapped inside, I made a dash into an elliptical orbit and back0-flipped around one of the Ones that was grazing the edge of my Seventeen's flight zone. After a few precision spin-flips, I had established myself in the meshwork, and began heading in the direction of the last seen Shorty. Finding one proved surprisingly easy, since the Seventeens were filling the node there had to be responsible molecules.

Heading over to the pair of ornery Eights, I checked out the floatable One that made all of this possible, and discovered that it was trading it's way along. Apparently, it's the fact that the Ones will freely trade with each other that makes it possible for this Shorty to slide along and do it's job. For me, all I had to do was pick when to kick the current One and I could make the Shorty slide in any direction.
