Hopping One to One

The canopy crew ramped up on their scanning ability pretty quickly, and were able to spot me wiggling away on the far end of the molecule. There was the through that our paths may cross once again, so we exchanged a secret oscillation that we could use to sense each other. Of course, they would have a much easier time sending a signal, since they were nine times my strength and could rally off of one another. I would have to commandeer a molecule to send a reply.

Happy with their new abilities, the team was willing to help me transfer into the network that I had helped guide them to. Still on the far end molecule, I signaled the team for full speed as I guided us toward a backward collision that would try, unsuccessfully, to penetrate one of the landing and excitation areas of a nearby booster node.

These meshworks have an amazing resilience when it comes to impacts, and yes, we hit as hard as we could. As the Ones that buffered the terminal six began to grind under the repulsion from the Ones in the mesh, I transferred in to a split-loop orbit and made a quick swingshot move off the Six and around an impinging One. Letting loose with a double spin-flip when I felt an external tug, I began the short trip into the orbit that we had distorted. With the transfer complete, I spotted the structural Eight in my old molecule spring back into normal shape as the canopy waveform reversed phase and pulled away.
