Some Electron Secrets

Those with some foreknowledge of Electrons and their properties often get lost in the "Opposites Attract" approach, never realizing that to go really quickly, it takes two Electrons. Yes, it's absolutely true that like charges are repulsive. What it relatively unknown is the selectivity that we have when it comes to that repulsion. The fact that we can alter the phase of our individual fields allows very close interaction, and at the appropriate instant, bang! Repulsion with great speed, except, we usually work to have one end locked in, and this gives us directional control.

I was impressed with how quickly the pairs were learning the phased leap-frog approach to getting things done, and even more impressed with the fact that they were already starting to use short-range sub-fabric talk-taps. Usually, such conversations would go unnoticed. I, however, was aware of the low-bandwidth, long distance linkage. At the slow speeds we were limited to here in the mesh of the central network, not many taps could be entrained, but the pairs did not need much. Usually, it was for synchronization, as the channel was instantaneously fast, with a tap seeming to already be there, before the tap was made.

We kept a lock on the smashed-canopy interlopers. The 5+6 ring structure with the extra Sevens was a bright spot on our scans. I found these interlopers were rather fun to observe, as they were constantly getting stuck in receiver zones, and lingering there, preventing a larger, similar structure from fully locking into position. This was originally missed by the pairs, and with good reason. The larger structure did not have canopy parts and Eight=Six links that were the main signals that the pairs locked on to. Instead, there was a second Five ring that was devoid of Sevens, emitting only Eight-One and Six-Eight wavelengths.
