Dear listeners, are you there? Hello?? I'm not sensing a distant feedback loop from prior transmissions, and I'm beginning to wonder if my comm links have expired. I will have to send this transmission as if I'm being monitored at this time (and, I assume that I am). In the meantime, a recalibration of the dynamic dream mainframe is in order, and I sense that the malfunction has to do the the latest systems upgrades. I definitely explained to the Aural Mechanics engineers that upgrades before missions tend to be problematic and introduce risk. It sucks to say that I was the one that told them this and am still suffering the consequences of a directionless drift. Dear listeners, am I the only one that deals with such a predicament?

How often is it, my fellow co-pilots, that you feel as though you are the single one with clarity, awareness, and a vision of how to succeed at co-op missions? Yet, from not exercising initiative, you take a back seat to the unsuccessful endeavors of those around you? Worst yet, you are the one mostly affected by these miscalculated setbacks. Dear listeners, your old boy Tonepoet feels your pain. We are aligned in our algorithmic endeavor as seekers of peace and solitude. Thus, we'll confide in one another.

Sometimes you must face your battles alone and head on. This brings initial discomfort and discontent. It's a turbulent cosmic storm, dear listeners, and the best we can do is ready our space pod for the incoming forces and brace ourselves. It goes without saying that better times are ahead, and the relief and release of such tense times and actions find us being rewarded with a sense of freedom. Not every storm weathered will leave us undamaged, so we need to strive to have our brighter moments be our (imaginary, yet optimistic) co-pilots as we steer through the debris fields of life. My fellow travelers, let us focus on the light at the end of the dark tunnels and be patient with our arrivals into the brighter days. We might not come out the other end undamaged, but don't let us be defeated. Let us ride this journey on the wings of our aural staircase to the stars and take just a moment to breathe, focus, and recalibrate. Track your journey in a mental travel log as memoirs of a voyage to a distant yet accessible region lined with stars. 

Turn on, tune in, sleep...
