The Opening Volley

The network that was positioned at a level above the others began producing compression-relaxation patterns, with a strong tendency to center about a singular frequency which was modulated only slightly to produce the communication tokens. From what I was able to discern at the time, it appeared to be the opening of a group session of some kind, with my esteemed host having submitteed matter of Thomas Hutchinson before the group.

Before the presiding network concluded, there was an outburst from within the ranks of the seated five doublings, which had a great deal more frequency modulation than the other transmission currently finishing up on the compression-relaxation channel. This new network separated itself from the group and moved to a position midway in elevation between the presider and the remaining members of the doublings.

The stream of tokens that were articulated by this new speaker were quite formidable and had a twinge in their presentation that was marked by pings of whorlic energy emanating from the now engaged central network. Additional murmurs on the compression-relaxation channel began arrive from the apparently seated doublings, and the transmitting network increased the amplitude of the generated modulation as the discourse continued. There was a marked lack of pleasure being transmitted whorlicly, and this was cause enough for my host's central network to shift in balance as burps of this unsavory energy overloaded the reprocessing efforts of the whorlic shield, delivering charged jolts to a few of the wrong places.
