Hide and Squeak

I had found tag molecules with seven, five and two Sixes in a chain connected to a Seven. It made sense that there might be three and four Six-chains also connected to a Seven, and I began looking for any returns that would indicate such an existence, but nothing popped up on the scan. Coming back to two-Six wavelength, I picked up a few canopies and some odd noise.

Of course, there are Seven-Six-Six chains everywhere, as they make up the backbone of monsters. These groupings, when linked, do not have the same absence waveform. The noise that I was referring to was as if molecules were appearing and disappearing. In each sweep, I would catch different numbers of returns, and all of them near containment mesh networks. These things would appear as long as they were in proximity of the mesh and then disappear.

I had never seen a molecule or an atom vanish, but I have seen them be masked or hide from the scan by having a different frequency, so I tinkered with some nearby frequency pairs to see if there had been a shift. Usually, if one frequency shift up, another slides down. In this case, there were three frequency components on these disappearing tags. Pairs are difficult enough. Trios are double-double the difficulty of a pair.
