Kyrri sat comfortably on his zafu using the swastikasana pose. His webbed fingers danced over the control surface globes on either side of him. The engineer sat in the center of his sonic array; a working experimental sound field generator he tinkered with in his spare time.
Incongruous sounds bounced and plunked all around the room with no discernable origin. In the focal point of the array Kyrri’s consciousness floated in a near state of bliss. He fine tuned the parameters of the program, listening for frequencies to align properly.
He inhaled deeply, carefully holding his posture. Another finger movement brought the sub-oscillation almost in phase, it just needed a touch more-
“Kyrri!” Dustin shouted, clutching the otter’s shoulder.
The startled engineer flinched away from his friend’s sudden appearance.
“Dustin?” he gasped.
Kyrri glanced at his bare wrist, remembering his comm rested on the table. He rarely took it off. His brain quickly deduced the chain of events that led to the twin’s appearance.
“It’s 3 AM,” Kyrri stated consulting the clock, “why are you here?”
“I couldn’t sleep,” Dustin started, “I thought-”
“You’re stressed about something, aren’t you? Sit down,” Kyrri said, pushing the otter onto the cushion.
Kyrri moved to a larger console on the back wall. He touched pads and pressed buttons and a gentle hum permeated the room. Dustin looked over his shoulder.
“What is-whoa!” Dustin muttered.
Kyrri nodded in satisfaction as Dustin’s shoulders relaxed and his breathing changed. Parameters shifted and Dustin reached a trancelike state in moments. After a few more cycles, Kyrri ramped down the signal to zero. Dustin shook his head.
“What just happened?” he whispered.
“A little something I’ve been working on. But I like to call it ‘synchroharmozen’.”
“Synchrowhatzitnow?” Dustin asked, scrunching his whiskers.
“It’s the nexus of where frequencies synchronize, and everything is harmonious with your environment, leading to a zen state. Synchroharmozen,” Kyrri explained. “Like being in the zone, just at a deeper level.”
“Oh,” Dustin yawned.
“You wanted to talk?”
“Later,” Dustin replied, stifling another yawn. “I can’t keep my eyes open.”
“You can use the couch,” Kyrri offered. “We can talk after you sleep.”
Dustin nodded, plodding into the other room.

Great scene and very indicative of Kyrri's personality and skill set. It gives me lots of ideas.
This makes me think of someone thinking they can improve upon something.
I meant it only as a generalization. I thought that Kyrri wants to make something better, if not perfect.
*smiles... I enjoyed it quite a bit... good to have you join us again...

If you're synchronized with the environment couldn't you detect someone walking up behind you? Or is it projecting yourself somewhere else?
Probably not if you're lost in the zen state hehe
I guess I was thinking while he was in his little harmonic bubble.
