Then essentially, the FAB bacteria in the net spontaneously, and
en-mass begin to astrally project, so that their presence on the
astral is no longer in the same spatial position as their location on
the physical? This is such a perversely elegant solution for how a FAB
net could work without breaking the physics of the game -- I LIKE IT
VERY MUCH.

IIRC one of the explanations of why FAB works was because it produced
large protein chains that extended out past any single FAB cell. If
those proteins linked together, then that would be a good explanation
as to why the bacteria would remain organized into a 'net' shape after
experiencing 'Stress Induced Spontaneous Astral Projection.' (someone
has to coin terms for these phenomena, and SISAP makes a wiz acronym)

Wow. A -Workable- solution to the FAB net problem. Now if someone
could make a decent explanation for unidirectional datalines from
Neo-A's Guide to Real Life.
