Teapot Tempest

Patterns swirled and washed across the zones of the central network as the pulse continued to stimulate the network. Treated to a good view, I was able to determine that I was still several zones from where I really wanted to be, but that was just a matter of time. I was well positioned and if the the pulse went there, it meant that there was a pathway that could be followed. Reaching a crescendo, the activity culminated in a final blast of command patterns, many of which were processed by the superhighway.

With the storm subsiding, I flipped through a number of scan options looking for other kinds of activity. The synchro detectors were fluctuating, indicating motion. With nothing changing from a traditional viewpoint, the synchro detectors showed that I and and everything else was moving, and then that subsided as well.

This was definitely a low activity period for the central network, and random cleanup patterns were beginning to circulate. It is at time like this that I am able to move about without undue concern for the patterns that I trigger, since the cleanup patterns quickly override the disturbance. With dedication and persistence, I began to explore the pathways, seeking the familiar location from which I could once again follow and decode the patterns and pulses that ring and soar through the central network.
