	**The truth.** The older structure registers and services visiting vessels. Registration records who belongs to a vessel; while registration remains active, the authority maintains its complement by physically recovering an injured or dead crew member and repairing them at the berth. Nothing is copied and no snapshot is stored, so the astronaut who returns remembers everything up to the moment they died. The human station is an unlicensed salvage yard cut into the port, selling berth services it never owned.
-	The **pack is excluded** because registration covers persons, not cargo — the authority has no standing to move anyone's property. Return lands aboard **this ship** because registration bound the astronaut to this vessel at its berth, and the astronaut always returns to this ship until final departure ends their service. A separately authorised destination transfer is an option for other stranded complements, not a relocation of the player's revival point. Departure clearance permits leaving but does not cancel registration while the ship remains docked.
+	**What the astronaut is carrying travels with them.** Registration covers a person and what is on them: the authority recovers the crew member as found, kit included, since separating a body from its equipment is no part of returning it to a berth. Return lands aboard **this ship** because registration bound the astronaut to this vessel at its berth, and the astronaut always returns to this ship until final departure ends their service. A separately authorised destination transfer is an option for other stranded complements, not a relocation of the player's revival point. Departure clearance permits leaving but does not cancel registration while the ship remains docked.
	The **creatures** are stranded complements subject to an old quarantine warrant. Their vessels vanished or left without properly closing registration. Recovery continues, but a containment device fitted to quarantined crew overrides voluntary movement and directs attacks against people outside that quarantined complement. Repair restores the device along with the body. Some affected crew were human; others were alien, accounting for different forms. Missing ships explain why they remain; the warrant and device explain hostility. Other stranded complements have no warrant and remain coherent. This is a proposed completion of the story, not death-count degeneration or a hidden future transformation of the astronaut. The astronaut's valid registration has no quarantine warrant. The **warning** is the yard crew's, once they understood.

	**The truth.** The station is a refuge built by people hiding from a pursuit, on a wreck they have been stripping for years. Among the things they stripped and rebuilt is a recovery unit of alien manufacture. The refuge fitted such units to selected ships — including this one, before it left, without its pilot's knowledge.
-	The unit cannot work alone. It needs the wreck's protected berth anchor and the astronaut's individual casualty tag to retrieve the current body. The serial-addressed ship unit then repairs and revives that body. This pairing explains why revival works throughout this station, and why it lands aboard **this ship**. It does not establish that no other installation could ever perform a return. The **pack is excluded** because the unit recovers a person and has no authority over property.

	The **warning** is human: a refuge sheltering people who cannot be found, for whom a docked ship means a manifest and a witness. The **creatures** are a containment failure of biological material the refuge was moving as part of the same programme — an accident with causes, decisions and someone responsible for routing it through a place where people lived.

	**The truth.** An unlicensed clinic hulk doing work that could not be done lawfully. Its triage still runs across the whole hulk, which is what the hulk was built for: it detects a casualty, retrieves the body, repairs and revives it, and delivers the patient to their vessel of record. Nothing is stored and nothing is copied; the body is the body, so memory is continuous. Coverage is the hulk, and this direction proposes no hidden failure case and no undisclosed limit.
-	The **pack is excluded** because triage recovers a patient, not equipment. Delivery is to **this ship** because the vessel of record was set by the arrival manifest at the airlock, the only admission the astronaut has.

	The **creatures** are former patients of the experimental work, still here. The **warning** was left by staff who fled when the wards breached.
