Pry Harder

The Eight-One sequence along the edge of the monster continued to disconnect itself from the meshwork, widening the gap and allowing the One-Eight-Ones in the soup to begin filling in the widening gap between the meshworks. Scanning into the crevice revealed that the base of the monster matched pattern of the meshwork in a complimentary way, yet was under control of the rest of the structure, allowing the monster to peel away from the meshwork below.

With the base meshwork cleared of the monster, I began pressing forward toward the attraction zone that the monster had to be covering. My Seven-One-One end was fairly good at acting like a One-Eight-One and brushed the underside of the detaching monster as nudged my way in. Slowly counting the mini-hops and tickling the monster, the outer edge caught a pulse of One-Eight-Ones.

The mesh of the monster flexed and rippled in response to the pulse, transmitting the tug on the edge along the base and eventually to the separation zone. The resulting rapid separation revealed a cavity that enveloped the attraction zone, and a flood of One-Eight-Ones rushed past the edge freeing the attraction zone for a clear view. It was quite a fright to be staring down a Six flanked by a pair of Sevens, one of which was spinning a highly charged One.
