Finding a Handle

While I had the chance, I swept the ring and tail of the suspicious molecule. Focusing on each of the three Sevens in this small molecule revealed a spectral signature unlike any of the unringed chains of seven and five Sixes respectively. Fundamentally, this new tag responded with triple Six and quad Six waveforms, with the triple version being quite a bit stronger.

I began a wider scan using the new spectral parameters, but locating these rings with tails was not so easy. The noise level at these frequencies was so elevated that there would have to be huge concentrations of these molecules nearby, yet the local soup was quite clear. Considering that there were only five Sixes in these molecules, it was somewhat strange that there would be three Sevens throughout.

Given the Seven heavy ratio, I selected frequencies that included the Sevens. I scanned the junction of the singleton One that clung to one of the Sevens in the ring, and locked on. Moving to the Seven-Six link, I added that simple and common frequency to the selection list, since it was being generated four times in this little molecule. Perhaps the phase of the four signals would be useful.
