Revival aboard reveals two owner-set rules without adding a penalty:
1. The cargo and rig manifest contains everything still carried immediately before death, including the isolation bridge or Fork. Consumed supplies stay spent; a Fork installed in the station stays installed and does not duplicate.
-
2. The same airlock now opens onto a recognisably different station room. Completed fasteners, unlocked doors, and placed objects remain recorded, while traversed routes are marked historical after death. If the bridge is not yet aboard and installed, the ship can show only the collar back-feed entering the currently adjacent room; R-3 remains a historical observation with no current location. Once the bridge is installed, the isolated signal lets the ship distinguish R-3's live pressure pulse and provide a local bearing, never an omniscient replacement map.

2. Where the airlock connection is still unbound, it now opens onto a recognisably different station room. If the player survived long enough to bind that connection already, the reveal moves to an unbound boundary of that group, if one remains; no existing bind is undone to stage this reveal. Completed fasteners, unlocked doors, and placed objects remain recorded, while traversed routes are marked historical after death. If the bridge is not yet aboard and installed, the ship can show only the collar back-feed entering the currently adjacent room; R-3 remains a historical observation with no current location. Once the bridge is installed, the isolated signal lets the ship distinguish R-3's live pressure pulse and provide a local bearing, never an omniscient replacement map.

For clarity, this proposes a small authored set of first-post-death airlock neighbours that each presents a readable local opportunity. It is opening-specific content, not evidence or a promise that later shifts always produce a convenient destination. Before the repair, the useful choice is whether to follow the currently visible collar trace or investigate the new adjacent room while retaining R-3 only as a historical lead. After the bridge is installed, the player may instead pursue R-3's live local bearing through the new arrangement. There is no cache run, forced equipment replacement, hidden death counter, or unchanged-corridor grind.

For clarity, this proposes a small authored set of first-post-death airlock neighbours that each presents a readable local opportunity. It is opening-specific content and must respect the actual connections already made; it is not evidence or a promise that later shifts always produce a convenient destination.
