puzzle fifty five - ascent into madness - jake eakle guest puzzle

guest puzzle from jake eakle! he notes:

long time viewer, first time caller. it's been a real delight to jump into the construction community at this particular moment in time, and alongside invaluable feedback and exposure to the experts on the crosscord server, et tu, etui? has been a big part of that. so i can't think of a place i'd rather make my debut, and i believe i've created a puzzle that might well find a home at your fine establishment.

i agree! it was a very fun puzzle! it is also a bit challenging, but it is very fun!
