Depleted Reserves

Having reached familiar surroundings, we settled into a restful position where the lower short branch points were relieved of their propulsion and support duties. The amplitude of input on the photon detectors was dropping slowly, but it would be some time before the high frequency waveform diminished to the point where the onset of the regular regeneration session would initialize. There was sufficient chaos circulating through the central network which consumed significant quantities of energy.

The regular patterns in the mid-section of the network carrier became intentionally large and purposed. A calming wave propagated across the network, temporarily banishing the chaos to local domains. Some of the regulatory sensors pulsed feedback to the central network, as a full spectrum of conflicting commands were issued across the superhighway. Once completed, the safety covers were lowered over the photon detectors and kept there.

Even in the presence of the high frequency waveform, the subsystems that were responsible for relaxation and regeneration were activated and a rapid series of wave shifts occurred in the central network. After relatively few oscillations of the mid section, it was clear that a shift toward random time was occurring; the telltale motion sequences being queued and run by the photon detector positioning mechanisms.
