Forefront

There was a tendency for electrons to come and play during Random Time, such that it was becoming quite a tradition. What a surprise I discovered when I located two of the three electrons that I had just activated. Released from observation of the forming mega pattern out on the construction horizon, I wondered if Random Time had any kind of effect out in the fringes. With the newcomers here, I was sure to find space to roam out in their part of the network.

I flipped and folded my way along the pathways, carefully displacing electrons in my path to neutralize my current, lest I repulse a critical electron along my path or set off a sleeping pinger. I was a nifty game of my own to avoid those that were specifically looking for events like me. I could not have expected full detection, especially since Random time in full swing.

Arriving at the edge of the construction, I was aghast that only a single pinger was left with the task of monitoring the construction site. It was approaching the size of some of the monsters that I had encountered, making it one of the largest conglomeration of interconnected thought blocks, and it was not even activated yet. I threw a lock on the wandering pinger, making sure that I was some place that it was not. Avoiding a single electron was the easy part. It was processing the low level plunks and twangs from the weakly interacting blocks that was difficult.
