| **3:30–4:25** | Cross Sampling Loop by breaking the Siphon's line before attachment and using the Breath Bank's dry outer arc or opposite lane. This is pressure and persistent cap work, not another invented source or free mark. The budget below assumes neither extra drain applies. |
| **4:25–4:55** | In quiet, begin coupling the canister at about **3.2 O suit / 8 O vessel** while the world and oxygen continue. Inspect the source counter stamped after the hospital was supposedly empty. Coupling continues after this row. |
| **4:55–5:45** | Walk to Balance Gallery, then spend its first 25 seconds moving under mostly automatic fire while the canister remains coupled. This proposal treats walking and ordinary automatic fire as compatible with coupling; the player uses no manual special or occupied station control during the overlap. At 5:45 the full transfer ends at about **8.5 O suit / 0 O vessel**. |

| **5:45–6:40** | Both unsealed mouths pour at once. Once one band commits and the Bellback threat has been answered in either order, the major transformation becomes ready around **5:50–6:05**. The player chooses it in the journal and has later bands and the remaining crowd in which to enjoy it. An early seal previews the actual number of possible marks it prevents. |

| **5:45–6:40** | Both unsealed mouths pour at once. Once one band commits and the Bellback threat has been answered in either order, the major transformation becomes ready immediately. Around **5:50–6:05** is the illustrative timing for this pass; an earlier successful answer grants it earlier, including while coupling is still running. The player chooses it in the journal and has later bands and the remaining crowd in which to enjoy it. An early seal previews the actual number of possible marks it prevents. |
| **6:40–7:10** | Earn the gallery's quiet and compare its far-wall mark with the Sampling Loop counter. The discovery follows the spectacle instead of competing with it. |
| **7:10–8:20** | Walk home through the open Jammed Pressure service passage, the quiet sealed junction and Dock Mouth. The shortcut turns the permanent change into return margin rather than free outbound power. |
At the current proposal of 1 O per 30 seconds, 12 O in the suit plus one 8 O canister is ten minutes of base breathing. By 4:25, base breathing has used about 8.8 O, leaving 3.2 O in the suit. The full 80 seconds of coupling moves 8 O while another 2.7 O is breathed, so 5:45 shows 8.5 O in the suit and an empty vessel. The remaining 2:35 consumes about 5.2 O; total base breathing by return is about 16.7 O. Arrival at 8:20 therefore shows about **3.3 O in the suit**, or 1:40 of base breathing. The full transfer, not its first 30 seconds, is included in the existing timeline.

That margin assumes the player avoids both Siphon tether drain and the Breath Banks' extra-drain lanes as described above, and that coupling is not interrupted. The exact display must reduce the estimate immediately if either assumption fails. This is plausible paper arithmetic, not a certified safe route. R12's stocked travel air sits on the rescue branch and remains rescue preparation, not assumed personal supply. No local refill is counted, and the default reserve marker remains only a warning. [Survival And Loadout](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Survival%20And%20Loadout) owns these provisional quantities and transfer rules.

That margin assumes the player avoids both Siphon tether drain and the Breath Banks' extra-drain lanes as described above, and that coupling is not interrupted. The display shows the actual suit and vessel oxygen, transfer progress and any added drain. The table is a proposed pacing example; delays and interruptions spend its margin. The reserve marker warns when actual suit oxygen crosses its set level. R12's stocked travel air sits on the rescue branch and remains rescue preparation, not assumed personal supply. No local refill is counted, and the default reserve marker remains only a warning.
