Review Duty

The parsing and transcription session ended as the central network queued a set of retrieve and stow commands that returned the transcription wand to a resting place, as well as the other implements that had been accessed. Completed, propulsion commands were then queued as we rose once again, maneuvering amongst the other networks that could be sensed. Propulsion was short, and lead to another retrieval command.

This time, a larger object with a great deal of similarly looking contrast patterns was presented to the photon detectors, as image after image flipped forward. Eventually, a less than complete image was presented and a series of numeric tokens were parsed by the central network. A great deal of processing occurred in rapid bursts whereby two numeric tokens were input processed and then churned by the network to produce a new token that was invariably identical to the next token that was processed by the photon detectors.

There was a small degree of satisfaction as each constructed token matched was was written. A sense of completeness was triggered as the pattern was shuttered once again, followed by a stowage command that returned the multi-image object to it's original resting place. A quick spin-push propulsion command was executed and focus was put upon a person than had approached to close proximity. None of my pingers were even aware of the network inside this person, as it was virtually unreadable.
