the D2-brane to infinity. Nonetheless, the D2-brane will necessarily intercept some flux from the D6-brane and it is clear that some fundamental string charge must somehow flow off of the D2-brane. The only remaining possibility is that this charge will in fact flow to the D6-brane itself. Since the fundamental string in this context is nothing but a deformation of the D2-brane worldsheet, this means that we must consider solutions where the D2-brane actually intersects the D6-brane. It is here that the M-theory context is particularly useful, as what appears to be a singular intersection in the IIA description becomes merely the smooth passage of an M2-brane through the core of a Kaluza-Klein monopole. In particular, while the D6-brane singularity would prevent one from determining the true structure of the intersection from the IIA perspective, from the 11-dimensional perspective it is clear that valid D2/D6 intersections are exactly those for which the M2-branes remain smooth at the Kaluza-Klein monopole core.

The general holomorphic such intersection is analyzed in [@half]. However, for simplicity we examine here only the special case in which the D2-brane is placed on the surface $x_9=0$. To describe the 11-dimensional description of this surface, we must first
