# Hold The Horde — Discovery Chain
-
**Status.** A working proposal after focused review and response; the player experience remains unvalidated. It works one limited, local discovery across three visits: what the player can observe, what they may reasonably think, what would settle it, and what changes afterwards. Example fiction is labelled. Nothing here answers revival, the station's history or the escape, and no alphabet or language system is designed. These strings may be a fragment of an alien language; this local chain fulfils no whole-language requirement. Relay/sink/isolator service-family notation remains distinct.

The second instance weakens "labels the door", but does not kill it: a door could have been removed, or a string could refer to a door further along. That is the honest state of the evidence after one visit, and the design does not resolve it here.

**Records.** Capturing the facsimile is a world-time action; reading back what is already stored, and inspecting the frozen visible view, happen paused. In the current proposal the journal holds the framed facsimile and its location, while which of the four readings the player favours lives in their own notes, in their own words, and is never promoted to fact by the game. What else notes may carry, and whether records can later be annotated, is [Clues and Help](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Clues%20and%20Help)'s to state; nothing here forbids it.
