Push Bye-Bye

With only a few of the wiggle tails released, the meshwork pulled a bit tighter, and the pulsed flow of One-Eight-Ones reduced in intensity. I maintained position and continued to scan the monster as it began it's attachment sequence. Descending over the filled attraction zone created a flow of One-Eight-Ones as they moved out from between the impenetrable meshworks above and below.

Spreading out as it approached my position, a wave front speed through the soup. Heading in the opposite direction as the main flow of One-Eight-Ones, the wave front was an opportunity rather than an obstacle. As the wave approached, I started a mini-hop and kicked the Shorty into soup mode and left the meshwork for the hop.

Rotating the Eights in to the edge of the wave, I was able to bounce off of the compressive wavefront repeatedly. Sometimes off of the same interlocked group of One-Eight-Ones. Now inverted with respect to the meshwork below, I scanned downward to where I once rolled, and counted attraction zones as they passed by. As I bumped the count from 9 to 10, I noticed that the time between counts was increasing. Decision time. Mesh or Soup?
