Temporary combat power grows regularly through fighting, with larger transformations at major horde milestones. This replaces the proposed stage-only award rhythm. The exact growth meter, pickups, choice frequency, milestone conditions and rewards for avoiding a fight remain to be designed. Temporary power still resets whenever the astronaut returns home, while physical carried equipment and loot are retained.

## 16 September 2026 — first review of the playable slice
+
+
Implementation of the first slice (the first three expeditions) was authorized by the owner on 15 September 2026 ("start working on code, but assume changes are still coming"); the "Design only" bullet under Scope is superseded for that slice. The owner is now reviewing the build. Each report is classified first — implementation problem, design mistake, design decision, or a choice the design never made — and only then acted on. Owner decisions from the first two reports:
+
+
- **Text scale.** The proposed text-scale option is adopted: default Medium (1.0), range 0.8–1.6; every style is 16 px or larger at 1080p and scales with screen height, so the smallest setting never draws below 12.8 px at 1080p-equivalent. This replaced a placeholder that drew fixed 15 px text on a 4K display.
+
- **Fixture appearance.** Use free existing assets where they fit: the ship airlock door and the observation window now use CC0 pieces from Quaternius' Modular Sci-Fi MegaKit. Every other fixture keeps a silhouette per kind with its name drawn at the object, so two fixtures never differ by colour alone.
+
+
Closed as implementation gaps, not design changes: the Dock Mouth window (painted R-3 label, lit indicator with its state word, repeated knock, recordable) and the collar back-feed trace described in [Station Room And Module Inventory](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Station%20Room%20And%20Module%20Inventory) were missing from the build, and the context prompt is now drawn at the physical object as [What the Astronaut Sees and Controls](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Player%20Information%20And%20Options) already proposes. Team convention, not an owner decision: a human-made label, lit indicator or named sound on a fixture is recorded as a *sign*, separate from the alien inscriptions, and joins no language comparison.
+
## Leading story draft — explicitly open to change
The owner is leaning toward this variation of the hospital direction:
