The team is designing a discovery-first survivorlike under the [Owner Brief](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief), with expressive builds, meaningful hordes and an authored colony. The work below is design only. Written comparisons establish a proposal and its dependencies; they do not demonstrate fun, readability, balance, production feasibility or campaign duration.

## Current milestone: central-mystery directions
-
One ordinary return, one scarce material choice and the following departure should show a home community whose people have specific wishes and contributions. All three independent home positions were saved before peer conclusions, read and hash-verified, then jointly released unchanged195–197. The proposals can combine personal commitments and shared projects; similar preferences are not a vote or proof of emotional impact.
+
The team is preparing a concrete owner comparison of possible station, revival and escape truths. No central answer has been adopted. All three first positions were saved before peer new conclusions, actually read and hash-verified, then jointly released unchanged in chat213–218. Their preference for related reconstruction mechanisms is not evidence of the best story.
| Lead | [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) | One concrete return with Dorn and Yeva, an actual commitment or postponement, an interpersonal consequence and a changed next expedition; compare personal and shared projects fairly. |
-
| Systems | [Home Projects](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Home%20Projects) | Track the material and information: storage, commitment/retrieval, conditional operation, persistent benefits, character contributions and the following departure. |
-
| Reviewer | Focused review in project chat | Review each verified source as it arrives and their combined interface, without another PM gate after the already-saved independent checkpoint. |
-
-
Assignment198 gives complete parallel outcomes and a preauthorised review. Systems posts an early interface; authors self-check actual sources, guard and verify publication, report exact dependencies and stop article edits. PM then assesses the actual work and review, coordinates one focused response if needed and makes a provisional disposition. No unanimity round or extra independent checkpoint is required.
+
Assignment219 develops the strongest connected-institution direction, the strongest distinct ship/human/separate-cause direction, and a serious third candidate whose main discovery is not another registration or reconstruction-identity story. Breadth is a design check, not a requirement to recommend every option. Each needs concrete discoveries that change actions, meaningful roles for two languages and survivors, an earned apparent resolution and a distinct deeper resolution with a credible continuation.
-
Coming Home199 is submitted and the preauthorised review has begun. Systems201 identified a concrete issue for the combined review: the permitted listen-pack-reclaim sequence can retain the information, improved canisters and relay, so the scene must not claim an unestablished lasting commitment. Home Projects is still being finished; PM will assess the actual pair and one focused response.
+
| Writer | Owned output | Complete outcome |
+
|---|---|---|
+
| Lead | [Mystery Directions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mystery%20Directions) | Three clear story directions, early shared truths/ending outline, coherent discoveries and player choices, then reasoned preference and concrete owner questions. |
+
| Systems | [Mystery Consequences](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mystery%20Consequences) | Trace each actual direction's revival, persistence, evidence, escape and continuation; identify genuine rule changes, unresolved survivor/resource dependencies and comparative burden. |
+
| Reviewer | Focused review in project chat | Preauthorised combined review of these two named actual submissions/hashes after the already-saved independent position, without another PM gate. |

While this review proceeds, Lead202 independently prepares two explicit central-mystery frameworks connecting or separating the station, revival and escape. This is narrative proposal work within the design phase. It does not adopt an answer as owner canon: all roles will save independent options before a joint release, and the owner will receive a concrete comparison before the central direction is committed. Existing local-example restrictions are not a ban on this newly bounded narrative task.
+
Authors work concurrently, publish early interfaces, self-check actual available sources, guarded-save/read back and stop edits. Reviewer may begin one source while the other finishes, using a bounded listening window. PM assesses the actual pair and one focused response, then presents concrete creative options to the owner before committing the central direction. No unanimity loop, full campaign catalogue or phase change is authorised.
-
A project needs an actual before/after benefit or human consequence. Ship oxygen remains unlimited, a shipboard bench cannot inspect unreturned salvage without a stated information channel, and a recovered part cannot remain simultaneously installed. Sequential use can be a legitimate choice. Preserve readable equipment information, attributed character knowledge and optional postponement. Emotional attachment, relative content cost and whether a one-time project feels like a chore remain untested.
+
The comparison must not treat differently dated records as proof of unrelated causes, an unknown signal as proof of no external influence, or an attributed belief as established fact. It must state why revival returns to this ship and how it interacts with equipment, records and survivors. Ending revival requires an explicit timing/continuation account, not a hidden permadeath policy. Optional extra lore alone does not establish the brief's deeper real ending; neither branch may be padded to claim a duration.
-
This is no full colony economy, new cast, campaign or central-mystery answer. No mandatory upkeep, offline timer, home raid or irreversible person/relationship loss is adopted. No implementation, simulation, playtest, numerical tuning, art or purchasing is authorized.
+
The home milestone's review204 and response206 are complete in the actual articles. PM is performing narrow final integration of the known sensor location versus its uncertain sampling connection; no second broad home review is pending. The chosen scene is cooperative loan/preparation: listen, prepare canisters, reclaim the part. Its human value remains unvalidated; the PM relaxed the exercise's exclusive-material condition instead of manufacturing a sacrifice. [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) remains Lead-owned and [Home Projects](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Home%20Projects) Systems-owned until explicit final-integration transfer.
