The Corner Turned

The whorl diffused and began exciting most every stored memory that it came in contact with. The unGrid was thrown into a state of overwhelm as the imagery and tokens flooded forward. In the midst of the grand sizzle, the commands to the long branch point were nearly missed. A retrieval order caught hold as a branch point came inward with a grasp and retain command. A pause ensued. A dark spot appeared within the whorl and began to expand.

Panic pingers fired a triplet of pulses, and the intercept was automatic. In moments, the darkened region of the whorl had been infused with electrons, spin tapping their way into a conflagration that was second only to a plasma. Achieving synchronization with the pulses in the whorl, a small cloud of electrons surrounded the darkening region.

A pulse sequence was sent toward the confluence, and washed upon the shell of electrons who duly propagated the wavefront around the dark anomaly and along the pathway toward the central network. It was with a shake and a shudder that the packet was shuttled from it's resting place and carefully aimed. As the release command fired, the double bubble flashed brightly and it's outer shell began to absorb additional energy from the whorl. The anomalous dark region blinked and vanished, reabsorbed, no longer blocking communication within the network.
