The main reading path now begins with [The Game](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Game), follows [three expeditions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal), returns to [the people aboard](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home), and opens into [discovery in the changing station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station). [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds) explains the current examples; [Build Comparison](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison) presents alternative controls and payoffs for owner reaction.

Five proposal packages completed review and response today: builds/expeditions, hospital story/survival, regular growth on a renewed route, a second route state after permanent source seals, and the six-page reading path. [Combat Rules](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20Rules) and the room/encounter references describe the two concrete route states. They preserve completed work while giving fresh opposition a physical route. Other seal combinations and shifted layouts remain design work.

Six proposal packages completed review and response today: builds/expeditions, hospital story/survival, regular growth on a renewed route, a second route state after permanent source seals, the six-page reading path, and the moving-scan expedition. [Combat Rules](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20Rules) and the room/encounter references describe the two concrete route states. They preserve completed work while giving fresh opposition a physical route. Other seal combinations and shifted layouts remain design work.
The new Ricochet and Gravity mechanisms remain proposed replacements for parts of the detailed build rules. The [hospital-story alternatives](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions) remain revisable. Completed review does not select them for the owner or establish fun, balance or duration.

## Completed: the moving scan

The moving lamp promises a strong sequence: pursue an apparent constellation, fight alongside its carriage, earn a spectacular build release, and discover a bridge that changes the next trip. Systems is placing that sequence in the actual station, with one proposed location, visible sources, growth before the climax, a usable withdrawal and evidence that supports the discovery. Added geometry and content costs must be explicit.
+
The [Moving Scan Expedition](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Moving%20Scan%20Expedition) now places the lamp in Cable Junction. Three source areas supply the rising fight; ordinary growth precedes the electrical climax. Observations from three positions reveal a receiver across a void, and the player unfolds and walks a bridge to it. Living return preserves the useful shortcut. A changed alignment makes the old samples historical and exposes a visible rewind for a new scan.

One focused critique and one author response belong to this bounded outcome. The current reader pages remain stable while the separate proposal is prepared. PM is also checking the outside-edit bundle for lost meaning; this preservation work does not reopen every accepted design debate. States and estimates are on [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress).

The price is a fourteenth proposed major mechanism and substantial rail, bay, bridge and receiver geometry. The room, encounter, combat and information references now agree; physical fit and the intended pleasure remain untested.

## Next: a rescue that feels personal
+
+
Systems is preparing one short crossing where the astronaut's movement and build buy time for a survivor's voluntary action, followed by a specific homecoming. The same scene will compare the proposed protected retreat with a simpler alternative at the moment the astronaut dies. The owner can judge the stakes, preparation burden and effect on the shifting-station premise. Neither survivor mortality nor the first survivor is selected by this comparison.

+
One focused critique and one response belong to the rescue outcome. The outside-edit preservation audit is complete and its factual follow-ups are published; broader readability and design readiness remain open. States and estimates are on [Progress](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progress).
