Mark the Spot

Keeping a ping on the canopy team and the departing molecule, I began my exploration of the meshwork to which I had transferred. Fairly standard composition, the array was held together by Sixes and Eights with a number of Eight-One combinations protruding inward. Attracted toward these Eight-One pairs were a number of Elevens that were floating in the interior soup.

On my next outward sweep, I discovered that the team in the canopy had started their marker twitch and began to come around, looking to set up for another pass. Inward, the positive charge of the Elevens below were beginning to have a pronounced effect on me and the other Electrons that were circulating about the meshwork. With orbits that were distorting toward the Elevens, it was only a matter of an impulse before a cloud of Electrons would form and begin traversing the pathway of Elevens.

Sweeping outward once again, I picked up my old crew in the canopy, and tapped back at them using an "ahoy" code. The next marker twitch contained an acknowledgement shift. They had heard my ping, and were now scanning in my direction. Just for giggles, I punched out a "full power" command like I had done in the past. In moments, the canopy was making swingshots at an increasing rate and they were on their way.
