Mind the Gap

Sliding in the gap between the meshwork and the soup was far and away one of the most robust travel modes that I had experienced. Making the change from soup to mesh mode became a much simpler operation having discovered the half-and-half transportation mode, not to mention the speed at which a meshwork could be traversed to go from soup to soup. Coupled with the fact that there are Shorties everywhere, I'll never be at a loss for a quick ride.

I found myself taking advantage of soup mode fairly often, in order to bypass some of the more interesting features in the meshwork. Mostly, these features were teeming with extra Electrons that warned me of their presence long before I arrived. I was somewhat familiar with pockets in the mesh like this from my experiences with the Ringlet. It was through passages like these that the Ringlet would travel, moving from one type of soup to another.

Soup mode was also good for moving from one mesh to another. While it was possible to ride the face of the mesh to the point where it was making strong contact with the next portion, it was faster to switch to soup mode and float across the gap at half-speed than it was to travel more than four times the distance to make an insanely sharp turn.
