**The problem.** The emotional peak of the game, a person who has knocked on glass for a year finally walking out, arrives as a pre-flight checklist. The shared preparation checklist risks making the survivors' personal judgments feel secondary. [Rescue Rules](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Rescue%20Rules) already gives Dorn readiness confirmation and the ability to call an abort, while [First Survivor](/Hold%20The%20Flood/First%20Survivor) has Yeva judge that her failing ward is more dangerous than leaving. The proposed protected death-abort removes risk during its special retreat window, but remains pending and does not settle all survivor safety.

**Worked comparison.** [Rescue Under Pressure](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Rescue%20Under%20Pressure) shows Yeva’s short crossing and compares returning to shelter with reaching the ship after the astronaut dies. It makes the local safety exceptions and retry costs explicit. The first survivor, this crossing proposal and both failure approaches remain unselected.

**Options.**
- **A. Reduce the checklist to one moment where the survivor judges the air.** She looks at the canister and says whether she will go. Drop the abort room and the gauge mark; an abort means she runs back to her own door. *Cost:* less mechanical certainty; a poorly prepared crossing can fail.
