Demodulation

I just got knocked, and hard. With the sensors dialed to maximum sensitivity, I was wholly unprepared for the blast that arrived in the whorl channel. As I struggled to regain attitude control the sensor system recovered from the shock. It was the over correction that almost de-orbited me from the One that I had been circling. A few extra orbits around the Seven and a Six completed the recovery.

There was a crackle that was echoing within the whorl channel. Reception centers were popping and crackling, and in some cases ringing away. Similar in nature to some of the patterns found in the compression relaxation processing centers, the signal was a pure tone with an occasional warble, all superimposed on the cacophony of clicks, pops and buzzes in the whorl frequency.

Learning to see this wave upon the noise was a new trick, and perhaps it was a valuable lesson. Even with all of the success that has been had, there are still operational interactions that occur with Electrons that not even I have the ability to understand, or the time to comprehend. Sometimes, it's necessary to take a new look from a much further distance to make sense of what appears complex and overwhelming.
