# Hold The Horde — Campaign Evidence and State Crosswalk
-
**Status.** A finite index over content that already exists: it maps the eight accepted chains and fifteen primary cast scenes onto the actual rooms, controls, objects and observations they consume, and records where those interfaces agree or conflict. It is **not** a campaign map, a scheduler, new content, story truth, language grammar or a validation of anything. No new chain, person, room, mechanism, scene or object is created here. All five owner questions remain unanswered, and only their actual consumers are marked conditional.

**Counts.** 8 chains (L1–L4, S1–S4) · 15 primary scenes (Y1–Y3, A1–A3, D1–D3, M1–M3, I1–I3) · **26 evidence index entries**, reusing their actual records and objects · 7 mutually exclusive rescue host variants · 5 Story and Ending Map personal variants · 2 dependency orders. Existing inventories are unchanged: 24 modules / 40 rooms, 10 encounters including 2 setpieces, 13 major mechanisms.

This index maps the eight chains and fifteen primary cast scenes onto the rooms, controls, objects and observations they consume, and records where those interfaces agree or conflict. It covers 8 chains (L1–L4, S1–S4), 15 primary scenes (Y1–Y3, A1–A3, D1–D3, M1–M3, I1–I3), **26 evidence index entries**, 7 mutually exclusive rescue host variants, 5 Story and Ending Map personal variants and 2 dependency orders.
## 0. Identifier provenance

**Established identities:** scene IDs Y1–I3 belong to Cast and Short Rescue Map; R01–R40 and M01–M24 to Station Room and Module Inventory; objective numbers 1–12 to Regional Discovery Map. **L1–L4 and S1–S4 are index labels here for the four numbered chains in Two Language Discovery Map and Story and Ending Map respectively.** Those parents do not literally define these prefixed IDs. Station Room and Module Inventory already uses L2 as shorthand for the second language chain; this index preserves that reference without inventing a parent-owned ID register.

**Evidence aliases:** every `A-…` key below is a locally created index handle for observations in the cited source descriptions. The source-owner table below names those descriptions and the player decisions they inform. A handle can group the readings needed for one comparison; it is not a new object or a promise that the game captures a whole sequence in one action. No established identity is renumbered, and parents need not adopt these aliases.

No prior record is generated retroactively.

**Three separations this crosswalk insists on.** *Holding an inference is not informing a survivor* — a player may hold a correct reading indefinitely while everyone aboard still knows nothing. This is a distinction, **not an extra gate**: where a scene's own design is to show the evidence, the showing inside that scene is the informing, and no separate prior step is required. *A control responding is not proof of identity or history* — `A-REPLY` shows that something answers, never who. *Physical network completion is not an ending theory* — objective 12 is a walkable fact independent of objective 10, rescue, treatment and any ending; what the core contains is S4, and neither settles the other. Transaction, storage and display rules are not restated here.

**Optional help is real, and no chain depends on it.** L1–L4 are solvable with no person aboard. Yeva may name the crew roads and Dorn may describe crawl-mark use, each only when shown a record, each attributed with its basis, and neither reads an alien script or knows current topology. Help is not withheld to protect an intended deduction.

## 4. The two dependency orders
These are Regional Discovery Map's two viable orders. The arrows are **dependency priorities, not corridors**; current access can interleave eligible objectives, and either order can defer R-3 until its short geometry exists.

**Build-and-ship first — 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 8 → 6 → 10, then 5 → 7 → 9 → 11 → 12.** Objective 1 supplies `A-INSTALLED` at R02/R03 and `A-BERTH`; the first death makes routes historical while those facts stay current, which is S1's whole opening. Objectives 2, 3, 4 and 8 earn movement, impact and positional parts and expose the physical wall/panel/slab differences used by L2 at 1 and 8, before systematic language comparison. Seeing those differences does not automatically grant their interpretation. **Objective 6 completes without language**, from gauges and the long access, so `A-R18SEAL`, `A-CYCLE` and D1 are available before L2's shortcut is understood; 10 then exposes the conditional apparent-departure preparation. Only afterwards do 5, 7 and 9 supply `A-RUNS`, `A-TAAN`, `A-TRANSFER`, `A-AB`, `A-ADDRESS` and `A-REPLY`, which **reinterpret evidence already stored** rather than unlocking it. Objective 11 asks for the same physical pressure-equalisation action it always asks for; the language routes make it predictable, never optional. Objective 12 depends on authored placement and a selected joining rule — not on 10, rescue, treatment or an ending.

**Language-and-network first — 1 → 5 → 7 → 3 → 6 → 9 → 4 → 8 → 11 → 2 → 10 → 12.** Riskier observation comes early: 5 and 7 give L1/L3 before most parts exist, and tested predictions shorten 6 and 9. Objective 4 arrives late, so R-3 and its rescue wait for a current short geometry — and **no chain stalls**, because 5, 7, 9 and 11 never require a survivor. Objective 11's iris is reached before the ship assemblies are complete; the physical action is identical. `A-STRIP` is therefore available early here and late in the other order, which changes when the three-record chronology can be assembled but not what it supports.
**What differs, and what does not.** No chain changes hands and no evidence changes meaning between the orders; what changes is *when* a record becomes available to compare and how much reinterpretation happens after the fact. Rescues and survivor help are optional in both.
-
**Yeva-first versus Aster-first is a compact subcase, not a substitute for either order.** It selects which person occupies R13 and which takes the R19 annex or R22 booth, and therefore which follow-up scene appears early. It sits inside either dependency order and changes no objective sequence, no evidence and no chain.

**4 — Apparent versus deeper ending, with the departure branch unselected.** Objective 10's assemblies can make readiness true with no language, survivor or core answer. The deeper transaction at R40 is separate and does not require it. **The departure branch is an unselected owner choice, not a settled fact:** Story and Ending Map *recommends* an irreversible apparent-credit departure — leaving the field ending revival and closing station exploration in this continuity — against the alternative of keeping readiness as a repair milestone with no departure at all, and the outline treats field-limited revival and irreversible departure as optional assumptions. Save policy is a further open question, not the whole of it. This article selects neither, and objective 12 neither triggers nor blocks either.

## 6. Cross-reference notes
-
Personal variants in [Story and Ending Map](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Story%20And%20Ending%20Map) are scene variants, not chain numbers: variants 1–5 correspond to S1, S2, S2+S4, S3 and S2+S4. Core-related positions appear within M3 and I3; the shared profile scene is Y3 with Dorn participating when present. These relationships use the existing fifteen primary scenes.

The wall-access chain uses R04, the R15 edge, R17 and the R26 slab. [Two Language Discovery Map](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Two%20Language%20Discovery%20Map) owns that evidence chain. The twenty-six evidence handles in this index remain local aliases for existing observations and comparisons.

## Open questions
-
Nothing here establishes that the chains are discoverable, that the corrections land, or that any scene is affecting. Those need later owner-authorised implementation and observation, and none has occurred.
+
- The safeguard where a survivor mid-crossing walks alone to a refuge with enemies frozen is pending owner decision; the Send row's world outcome depends on it.
+
- The departure branch is unselected: Story and Ending Map recommends an irreversible apparent-credit departure (leaving the field ends revival and closes station exploration in this continuity) against keeping readiness as a repair milestone with no departure at all.
+
- Save policy is a further open question; the departure-branch choice is not reducible to it.
+
- The five owner questions this index depends on remain unanswered.
+
- This page states both that `A-ISOLATION` is consumed by S2 (§2 ledger) and that S2's evidence row (§1) does not list it; likewise `A-R18SEAL` lists D3 as a consumer while D3's row (§1) does not list it.
+
- These rules are untested; numbers are proposals.
