Striking a Balance

I pushed off of the wavefront and flipped the Eights downward, aiming them toward the mesh. The One that clung to one of the Eights was happily hopping from Eight to Eight, whisking a path through the soup as the Shorty continued to angle toward the mesh below. Approaching quickly, the charge of the mesh began pushing on the One below, and it began to wobble in its orbit.

Producing the quiver twist to free the One was a completely natural move, and the One kicked into the soup and rattled between the One-Eight-Ones and the Shorty. Pushing the Seven slightly toward the path of the One, I managed to lure it in, and make the connection. Doing so neutralized the charge potential on the Seven end, causing the soup to push against the Seven rather than mingling with it.

The decent nearly complete, I focused on the Eights, making sure that they lined up with a decent rolling lane. As the Eights made contact and began to track, I had to blink-charge the Seven to slow it's travel. If the Seven end were to contact the meshwork, we could mingle with the meshwork and travel through. Good place in a storm of One-Eight-Ones, but split mode was faster for moving, so I kept the Seven in the soup and the Eights on the mesh.
