Through the Bubble

I gave the Shorty a kick in the Eights and engaged the synchro-drive as best I could. Being able to pinpoint scan and just look for the pops in the spectrum gave me all the time I needed to devote to the propulsion task. With so few helper Electrons on a Shorty, making a direct contribution to the motion vector accounts for quite a bit of time savings.

I caught a few pulses, and decided to angle toward one of them. Not knowing why their regions were so distinct, I thought it prudent to keep a forward proximity scan going. As easy as it might be to recover from a gnarly impact with an unfriendly meshwork, the tendency of a Shorty is to switch modes and mingle. I was enjoying that advantage as I passed easily from one cavity of soup to the next. It was almost as if the meshworks were no longer there.

I began to detect numerous hits on the Seven=Six-Seven-One pattern as I approached another meshwork. I slowed and dropped the Eights onto the meshwork and kept the Seven straight up in the soup as I went into slide mode. Blind on the top side, needing to look inward, I let the Seven do it's thing and grab another One. Through the meshwork I flowed, and I flipped again to come out Eights first on the other side so that I could control the entry of the Seven.
