Retrospective Processing

I began to unwind my path out to the fringes of whorl monitoring, carefully piloting my shorty past the serial marker pingers. I was glad that I had encoded both route and station numbers into each serial number. It made it far easier to ask the next pinger along the path to ring out and be detected. Midway through the transport sequence I reached maximum speed, thereafter slowing for safety.

As I continued my return into the high bandwidth depths of the central and intermeshed electron networks, I checked the interference level from the whorl. It was out there, and stronger than before. The waves were new. Peaks of amplitude with a long decay all modulated on top of a pure tone constructed from the hiss below. The waves were strong enough to wash through some of my electronic communication.

Demodulating the whorlic frequency set was helpful, since I knew that this was a common trait shared by all networks, it would prove to be of ultimate utility. As much as I am loath to admit it, I have noted the deterioration of the meshworks here, as well as some changes in the speed of processing. As long as the processing speed fluctuation is just due to the ever increasing memory load, things remain positive for me.
