| Oxygen breathed or material consumed by an explicit effect | Already spent and occupies no capacity | Does not return | Does not return | Only oxygen actually breathed or material actually consumed is spent; gas transfer alone changes its container |
| Survivor | Never cargo or a loadout object | Follows Rescue Rules | Death grants no delivery, loss or shift exception | Transfer state follows its owning rescue rule |
Voluntary return and death therefore use the same carried manifest. Death additionally ends the expedition at that point, starts the next trip aboard and shifts the station; deliberate death uses exactly the same rule. It gives no special refill, extraction gate, charge tax, property loss or survivor result. Completed fasteners and other completed work persist under their own rules; an unfinished stage is lost. A living return does not trigger a shift unless another future rule explicitly establishes one.
