Hop Swap and Bop

There were some things that could only be done by a single Electron, and piloting an Eleven was one of them. The Pairs were safely locked into orbits on their respective Twenties, and I tapped out a follow code. At nearly twice the size of my Eleven, they had some trouble using polar shifts to manipulate the One-Eight-Ones and move in my direction.

It was not until the pairs discovered that they could induce a double pole that they stopped the gap between us from growing. After a short time, the gap began to close as I approached the Shorty that was floating along lazily in the soup. By picking an odd harmonic that was common to both the Eleven and the Eights on the end of the Shorty, I was able to induce Electrons to trade from the Eights to the Eleven.

Taking advantage of the trade to swap over, I succeeded at taking up residence at the Seven and wiggled the Ones so that the Pairs would know I had made it. I worked to orient the Shorty for an intercept with the Pairs' Twenties, and signaled again. A near impact between the unadorned Eight and it's structural Six created a transfer opportunity. The first pair traded up to the Shorty, sending over replacements from the Eight, releasing it back into the soup.
