**Status.** Conditional first-pass design proposal. It joins the current persistence, shifting-station, short-rescue and whole-station-connection proposals into one inspectable rule set. It does **not** answer any of the five pending owner questions named below. The protected retreat and rigid-network finish below are explicit candidate branches, not existing owner decisions, physical proofs or implementation specifications; population behavior and post-Sent mortality also remain design gaps.

The PM's two independent Global04 positions, registered in chat 485 as `b387d62f…` and `6b848b56…`, agree on the protected-retreat candidate and identify binding the whole short route first as its strongest alternative. Agreement is not approval. The PM reports all five current owner questions unanswered at assignment.

## Candidate in one paragraph
A placed room, threshold face, compact apparatus, persistent join, object, mechanism, evidence record and person keeps one stable identity. At death, all completed acts and actual locations seal; every still-carried astronaut object returns once; an eligible in-transfer survivor performs only a pre-prepared autonomous retreat to the named refuge during a bounded hostile-free transaction window; then unanchored rigid groups change only their unbound adjacency/orientation while the R01 ship-rooted group remains fixed. The old route becomes historical. Living return changes no adjacency and does not replace defeated enemies. A wrong join stays walkable and can be released from a reachable network-side control. Under the pending stabilization branch, physically latching every reachable R01–R40 room into the ship-rooted group ends rearrangement; optional diagnostics and story choices neither complete nor block that physical result.

An installed object travels with its room/group, not with the astronaut. A dropped object stays at its placed location in that room. A canister handed to a survivor or deposited in R12/R24/R27/R06 has left carried property. A consumed sample or breathed gas has no location to return from. No category called “collected” overrides the current one-location fact.

This candidate therefore keeps Room32's fixed R01 ship threshold. Revival first exposes the familiar Dock Mouth interior. If R01's outer face is unbound, its far door exposes the newly adjacent station room; if that face is already persistently joined, the reveal moves to the nearest sensed free frontier of the fixed ship-rooted group without undoing the join. The airlock itself does not acquire a different direct station room. This preserves a stable ship interface and moves the current First Expedition Options/Player Information reveal outward; those passages require later alignment if this branch is accepted.

**Specific later discrimination.** In a later owner-authorized phase, validate—not assume—whether players can predict carried versus installed return across a death; distinguish current unbound passage, persistent seam and diagnostic signal; find a network-side release after a shift; understand the full-attempt return mark; and, on revisiting the local refuge, understand why an unclosed-airlock survivor is unsent but alive there. Compare the protected hostile-free retreat with bind-first or explicit-danger variants for perceived stakes, and observe tolerance for several deaths without a useful face. Static authoring checks should first enumerate identities, faces, rigid groups, recovery sides and each admitted arrangement for duplicates, broken compact paths, buried releases and unreachable R01–R40 interiors. Only later implementation and consenting-player observation could test comprehension, tension, farming behavior, rescue emotion, performance or pacing.

**Self-check.** The proposal seals the lethal instant and performs the property-first carried return before survivor resolution; conserves one instance of every object; leaves spent inputs spent; and preserves completed work. Its pending safeguard permits only an already armed retreat, freezes harmful hostile action/contact through abort-door closure, requires the survivor-confirmed and locally gauged full-attempt return margin, refuses an under-supplied departure, and leaves outcome proof local and astronaut knowledge aboard unconfirmed. A pre-completion death anchors the R01 ship-rooted group, translates/rotates only unanchored groups without reflection, and shifts once; living return never shifts. R01 Dock Mouth remains fixed outside the airlock and the changed-room reveal occurs at the fixed group's free outer frontier. The proposal keeps Sent's full predicate; separates world truth from proof and historical routes from current access; preserves R02–R03/R36–R40; gives wrong joins a reachable release; keeps physical completion independent of diagnostics/story; includes every actual R01–R40 room; changes none of the established content counts; promises no particular next face; and labels both protection and stabilization conditional. It provides no full arrangement proof, implementation, simulation, asset, playtest or answer to any of the five owner questions.
