Creating a new spectral template, I forwarded the examples into the electron network with a destination set to be the external sensor electrons from the sensitive group. Those that choose, were welcomed to experiment with patterns in the newly discovered upper band. It was here that perhaps more interesting networks could be located for exploration and study. Within moments, a tracking vector was transmitted. Peter had been detected and was being tracked.
The range of these frequencies was strangely longer than the other signals that I had been interacting with. Detectors were working well, immune from the noise and overlap from the other signals. While the amplitude was low, the background was so quiet that the whispering signal was easily detected and tracked. Getting into the signal was another matter.
The template that I had forwarded was fairly wide, and overlapped a number of short distance local channels that were interspersed with network activity. It was possible that the signal that I was detecting was the internal operation of Peter's network. As I swept the sequence, looking to see if I could confirm the reception from the outwards, I was being bombarded by local noise that did not seem to affect the outwardly sensative pingers. Sweeping onward, I then found a series of shifting peaks emanating from within the central network. There was only one pattern that matched this spread-out locality, and it was that of the ineffable whorl.

Master to Master
Tokens were rapidly queued for compression-relaxation output, aimed at the person who was nearly undetectable. With an an unreadable network, I called up all of the help that I could get.
That second to last token had me bothered, until I retrieved an early lesson that helped the transcription. Having stowed the processed data and a copy of the original for later analysis, I focused my attention to the one that was without pattern, recalling the sensations that were recently recorded.
There was a great deal that I might learn once outside of my current benefactor. For one, I now realized that there was indeed, a discernible pattern, but it was so far up in the spectrum that I had not considered it a viable realm of analysis. This changed rapidly, as I began to detect local patterns in the same band. It was nearly without doubt that Peter was indeed similar, and that I would have had little opportunity to detect Ben from the outside.
Your new Penny Post is performing admirably, dear Sir.
Yes. I believe it is. I owe many thanks for your kind discussions. They have proven most valuable.
Then I shan't keep you from your relations any longer. I look forward to the early completion of my annums, thanks to your astute practices and accurate predictions.
Thank you Doctor Franklin. I bid you and your relations, over the sea, the best of wishes.
Peter, you are far too kind.

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.

Sort and Route
Scan, parse, process. Scan, parse, process. It was a repeating sequence that had identical structure, but some of the components that were parsed made small changes in the process that occurred. It was the scanning process that always started the same, and the rest of the sequence followed the more general pattern. Each scan was proceeded by a retrieval sequence, and produced a sequence of tokens that did not match the regularity of communication.
Oddest were the names of people, since they repeated seldomly. It was the places that were more interesting. I recognized the tokens Boston and Philadelphia. There were other place-names to, but most of the parsing sessions pinged these names and then other names that fell within a list of other nodes. Within the central network, these place name has special properties in that they were instantly linked to nearby names, forming a sequence not unlike my serialized structure tags that helped me to identify differing but similar structures.
The central network parsed a sequence of place-name tokens via the photon detectors, and compared them to the internal reference tokens. In one case, I recognized a dip-wiggle sequence, as the tokens "X-Post Boston" were queued and transcribed onto the input item. Unlike the transcription session of the previous active cycle, an additional set of commands were queued to the long branch points. A substance was pinched between the branch points and then allowed to drop atop the transcription. The next item was placed atop the first, post transcription, unlike the previous session where each item was kept in a separate location.

Another Node in the Network
The now familiar dips and bends of my orbit told the story of the propulsion sequence that was queued. It was the negotiation of a number of careful and closely monitored propulsion cycles that jiggled my orbit in a new dimension. Scanning, I requested the token for the concept that was being negotiated. The electron network clicked and popped as it cycled through the token store, ultimately ejecting the answer of Stairs from it's entangled web.
Completion of the monitored and slow upward travel was confirmed by the return to interference from just two dimensions and not three. Discovering several distortions in the background waveforms, I activated the external network location services. Indeed, there were several other networks that were tasked with processing loops that resulted in remarkably similar pulse patterns and waveforms.
Brief compression-relaxation sequences were exchanged. Token intercepts confirmed the now expected acknowledgement of presence and familiarity as focus of Ben's network narrowed. A familiar manipulation and transfer occurred as outer coverings were removed and stowed in an external location, and a new position of attention was taken. The photon detectors began to process high contrast patterns and detail into tokens that were parsed to produce a multitude of manipulation sequences.

Out the Door
As I was pondering the lack of response from the double bubble, propulsion and transfer sequences were queued by the central network. As the patterns played across the network, a number of sensations were recorded as the coverings were improved and augmented. What followed was a familiar manipulation pattern queued for the long branch points. As this command was processed, the thermal reaction sensors registered a drop in energy transfer.
Photon levels were lower than nominal, but far above nonexistent. A brief propulsion sequence was followed by a return to a relaxed position as a minute orbital distortion was observed. Motion was occurring, yet there were no propulsion pulses. The artifacts showed that the motion was far quicker than that produced by personal propulsion. Noise from the transportation process was also observed and coordinated with the data flowing from the compression-relaxation input sensors.
My orbit returned to it's normal bumpy path, without the tilt that was caused by movement. An exchange of pleasant tokens consumed the compression-relaxation channel as a brief retrieval and transfer event was queued and executed. It was a small object, but it did contain an absurdly high concentration of Forty-Sevens for something with little direct utility. At completion, the unmistakable wavefront of pleasure was reported by the external monitors.

Hardened
Working my way back into the central network and re-connecting with the electron network took a little bit of doing. Interference levels were more intense than they had been in some time, but nothing that I had not experienced before. It was one of those things that only occurred when the high frequency waveform was distinctly present in the photon sample. In time, it would pass, possibly to return after the next random session, if there was one.
The regular routine of attitude change, propulsion, coverings, buffer processing and wand time spooled easily from the central network and into the superhighway. Feedback channels were operating well, and the network was operating very much as it had so many times before, despite the increased noise that was impinging on my network's channels. While making my own rounds, I wandered past the double-bubble and tossed a ping at it just to see if it would ring.
At first, I thought I missed and re-checked my targeting system. Finding all in order, I alerted monitor pingers in the area to detect any emission-response that occurred as I spun up a mega tap. Firing squarely at the double bubble, I activated the receivers and started a deep probe. despite the background crackle, I got no return signal, and none of the pingers responded either.

Duality of a Trio
Pondering the perspective of the trio of pingers produced patterns of unparalleled confusion. The only conclusion that I could accept was that I was missing critical information in order to resolve the apparent contradiction. I reversed my sequence, and examined the core facts to create a reasonable starting point, only to discover that the commonality was the nearly instant formation of the triangular structure. The fact that it occurred during a burst in the random session became the first item up for resolution.
A triangle had certain advantages. The canopy structure was formed in such a manner, and I was always able to observe and communicate directly with the other two nodes while I was tinkering on the third. The structure also helped the canopy's swap-drive mechanism maintain synchronization and control which improved the overall performance of the swap-drive. Here, the triangle was central to the structure and locked in place well enough that it survived several additional waves of randomization.
Observing closely the pattern of tugs and pulls that the randomization wave exerted on the structure excited a pattern match when I propagated the pattern into the electron network. These patterns had nothing to do with the blasts from communication to tokens that usually made up the bulk of the input to random time, but I was not able to capture the complete reply as bandwidth was beginning to degrade as background interference levels eroded the quality of my high capacity channel into the electron network.

Unexpected Required
Slipping my way back toward my favorite perch in the central network, I tapped into the electron network in time to see that the high frequency waveform was, once again, being picked up by the photon detectors, but the amplitude was lower than normal and not increasing in amplitude as expected. Random time would continue for some time in this state, but the network electrons that had come to play had already returned to their positions.
A burst of activity welled up and flashed across the central network, catching a number of random patterns in the process and shuttling them to various centers. The unGrid reported odd patterns being recalled and the pingers out on the fringe reported formation of a triangular structure of blocks in the construction zone. I thought the formation of a cycle of blocks to be interesting, and took a quick trip to verify as random time began an encore performance.
Once again, the pulses from Random Time were re-arranging the blocks in the supply zone, but the triangle formation had worked it's way into a central location in the structure. Interrogation of the returned pingers about the event was more than confusing, since the three stories did not add up to a final solution, yet I knew that each of their perspectives was valid. It was now up to me to figure out how all three recollections were valid at the same time, even though they appeared to contradict one another.

Rebuilding Reset
Having spent previous random time sessions watching electrons play and cavort in the communications resolution zone, I had always wondered if this recurring operation had any other effects that were of note. Now that I was out on the fringes of the connected central network and scanning into the vast array of weakly connected component blocks I was beginning to gather more data.
Far from the conflagration in the communications zone, observation revealed underlying patterns and waveforms that were almost physical in nature. The regularity was such that it reminded me of my time in the soup network, but the intensity was far lower. In the completed section, still being patrolled by the singleton pinger, there was no effect from the traversing wave. Things wiggled in response, but the structure remained.
In the flow of blocks, however, each cascade of energy that entered the block field spun and rotated the components as if they were unconnected. A spin was powerful in that it exposed a block's interconnects to other blocks that might have never intersected. In instances, blocks that were tightly bound were broken free as their captors were spun to interact with other nearby blocks. As the wavefronts diminished, a newly preened field of blocks was presented, with a nearly complete set of all possible dual-block interconnections expressed evenly across the field.
