Hatching a Plan

Listening to the Canopy team, they wanted to send over three candidates, intending for the odd electron to pair up with me directly. I had to take my own interests into account, and the fact that I had absolutely no desire to team up with an Electron for any longer than it took to get a task accomplished. I appreciated the safety of pairing up, but I had also earned my freedom.

I made a counter offer that they could send over two pairs. This would allow the rookies to stick together, and when I did take a single Electron out for an experience, the trio would still be able to hang out, the pair could go exploring, and there would always be one Electron left behind for Sentry duty. Besides, with two pair, I could leave them all behind, chatting amongst themselves, while I perform scans, tests, and other observational duties.

We all came to agreement fairly quickly and began to discuss the transfer procedure. It would be similar to the smash that sent me on my way, with one important change. Because it may only be possible to produce one electron transfer per impact, there would be multiple passes. My job was to find a safe location for all of this impact transfer, one that would not result in undue disturbance here in the trigger zone. Chaos we had, and did not need any more.
