The player comes home with a component, dated observation or rescued person that changes a later loadout, conversation or route. Deepest completion turns forty remembered places into one continuous walk back to the ship. The exact graph and ultimate consequence remain open.

In the **36-room concentration**, the same scan, horde/build climax and findings survive, but the spatial pauses shrink. The coupler moves into the busy Pace Calibration Bay. A protected recess keeps the Regulator Gallery’s causal reply evidence, but no second room changes the first room’s meaning. Fixed and reversible transformations share the Synchronization Gallery. The first core clamp moves onto the Selector Hall wall; the second keeps the West recovery walk, but the refuge between them disappears. Completion must make all thirty-six places continuous, although no valid full layout has been demonstrated. The saving is fewer layouts and connections; the risk is visual competition and a tighter discovery rhythm.
