| **1 — Collar receiver (reused)** | **Dorn**, a replaceable station-maintenance worker, wants to know whether the section he sealed behaved as expected. | Loan the Fork Relay to the receiver service seat. Start one ship-supplied poll while world time runs; the fixed collar tap reads one addressed pressure sensor at a panel Dorn serviced. | The display shows one value drift and return. Dorn states what he expected and that a failing sensor could look identical. The player can choose the known panel as a next objective: inspect it, trace which volume its line currently samples and check the sensor. | Once the observation is made, reclaiming Fork stops monitoring but does not erase the witnessed value or Dorn’s attributed statement. Postponing yields neither. A later poll is a new dated reading, not proof that the section held, a route, direction, cause or safety verdict. |
-
| **2 — Packing bench (reused)** | **Yeva**, a replaceable pressure technician, wants the compressor routing she installed—and Dorn serviced—to make an expedition materially different. | Put ordinary-full or eligible partial canisters at the bench, loan Fork, and deliberately run a witnessed packing cycle using fixed ship power and unlimited ship oxygen. | Each completed vessel visibly changes to **prepared-full**, holding more usable oxygen at its normal carrying size. The player can choose greater reach for a loadout or comparable planned reach with more capacity for equipment/loot; no exact amount or sufficiency is promised. | Reclaiming Fork ends further preparation; already prepared gas remains in completed canisters. Postponement leaves ordinary refill available. Returning later resumes from the last committed vessel, without decay. The result says what the bench did, not how much oxygen an unknown route will require. |

| **1 — Collar receiver (reused)** | **Dorn**, a replaceable station-maintenance worker, wants to know whether the section he sealed behaved as expected. | Loan the Fork Relay to the commissioned, addressed receiver while its bus is powered. Start one ship-supplied poll while world time runs; poll neutrality and a cleared display latch are separate branch readiness checks. | With both branches ready, the display shows one value drift and return. A poll-only acceptance places a sample in an unlatched buffer but shows only **incomplete**: the value is unreadable and uncapturable until a later cleared-display attempt, and clearing discards it. Attempts never combine samples. | Once a complete observation is made, reclaiming Fork stops monitoring but does not erase the witnessed value or Dorn’s attributed statement. Postponing yields neither. A later poll is a new dated reading, not proof that the section held, a route, direction, cause or safety verdict. |

| **2 — Packing bench (reused)** | **Yeva**, a replaceable pressure technician, wants the compressor routing she installed—and Dorn serviced—to make an expedition materially different. | Secure and clamp one eligible vessel, seat Fork, and deliberately run a witnessed cycle using fixed ship power and unlimited ship oxygen. The valve accepts below 12 O; the compressor accepts only when the vessel begins that wave at 8–11 O. | Starting at 0–7 O, valve alone fills incrementally to at most ordinary-full **8 O**. A later wave beginning at 8–11 O lets both branches accept and fills exactly to **12 O prepared-full**, still at proposed 2 C. Fork supplies no gas or power. | Reclaiming Fork ends further preparation; already prepared gas remains in completed canisters. Postponement leaves ordinary refill available. Returning later resumes from the vessel's last exact committed amount, without decay. The result says what the bench did, not how much oxygen an unknown route will require. |
| **3 — Ledger comparison table (new)** | **Aster**, or a replaceable supply clerk, wants to test whether a dated movement in her ledger corresponds to something the astronaut actually recorded rather than treating her memory as a map. | The player chooses two already committed records tied to known room instances or generations and one dated ledger entry. At a fixed illuminated table, player and clerk align only visible anchors; recording the resulting overlay is a separate world-time capture. No portable part is required. | A physical overlay exposes one bounded match or contradiction—for example, the same cabinet mark but a different threshold face. The player chooses whether to revisit that known room, compare a named fixture, or ignore the lead in favor of another expedition. | The table can be left at any stage and nothing is lost. Completed overlays remain aboard; they are not automatic journal annotations. Aster’s conclusion stays attributed and historical. It cannot reveal a present neighbour, current contents, walkable route, translation or which witness is right. |
| **4 — Material response tray (new)** | **Mara Venn**, a replaceable sterile-processing/reclamation worker, wants to stop calling visibly different station scrap “the same rubbish.” | The player may loan an owned **Salvage Cycler** to a fixed catch cradle and select one unprotected salvage sample. A ship fixture supplies the deliberate activation trigger and catches the output while the player watches. Once activation commits, the selected sample is consumed under the Cycler’s existing rule. | The catch box visibly contains the sample’s inspected conductive, pressure or brittle response, and a world-time capture can preserve that result. The player may pack a matching expendable sample and Cycler for a chosen cargo-spending rig, or keep the carrying space/value and use a non-consumption build. | Reclaiming Cycler ends testing and returns the same part; the recorded response remains, but no ammunition, recipe or new part remains in the tray. Postponement consumes nothing. Revisiting with another sample is a new voluntary spend. Mara can compare observations, but equipment discovery, use and the same source-fixture evidence remain available without her. |
| **5 — Evacuation gait rail (new)** | **Ivo Hale**, a replaceable rehabilitation worker, wants the ship’s abandoned evacuation rail to distinguish deliberate movement from being carried—the distinction that mattered in their old work. | Loan an owned **Stride Switch** to the fixed rail. In world time, the astronaut personally performs a voluntary grounded stop/start crossing, then personally stands without walking while the slow maintenance carrier moves them through the same marked span. The ship powers the rail’s lamps. | Lamps and a paper trace record those two actually performed tests: the voluntary crossing emitted when the Switch's shown condition was met; the carrier pass did not. A rolling weight may be an additional fixture check but cannot establish the same-astronaut distinction by itself. The player can decide to try Stride as a movement-conditioned rig source next trip or retain their current manual/sensor control. No stat or mastery bonus is awarded. | Reclaiming Stride darkens the rail and returns that instance; a completed trace remains as a record of only those performed tests. Postponement has no penalty. A revisit can test another deliberate pattern. Ivo knows this fixture and witnessed movement only; the trace predicts neither station terrain, enemy motion, safe timing nor the full behavior of a future rig. |

The older home pages called the borrowed object a generic “relay-family part” and sometimes used “powered” as shorthand. Under the current twelve-part catalogue, propose that the exact loan is the existing **Fork Relay**, and that each home project contains a fixed, visibly wired service seat. This adds no thirteenth portable part and no general adapter recipe.

The ship provides each fixture’s power and physical medium: the receiver has ship power plus its existing docking-collar monitoring bus; the bench has ship power plus unlimited oxygen and its installed compressor head. A fixed maintenance controller at each fixture emits one **bare trigger** into Fork’s one input. Fork preserves the wave and copies that trigger to two compatible outputs. At the receiver, one output opens the poll gate and one arms the display latch; the sensor value returns through the fixed bus, not through invented remote sensing by Fork. At the bench, one output opens the ship-supply valve and one starts the compressor cycle. Each fixed receiver independently checks compatibility and readiness; a blocked branch does not accept, buffer or queue its trigger, and the project does not claim completion unless its required ready branches and physical work complete. Fork supplies no energy, gas, sensor value, translation or payload, and only one fixture can hold the one object at a time.

The ship provides each fixture’s power and physical medium: the receiver has ship power plus its existing docking-collar monitoring bus; the bench has ship power plus unlimited oxygen and its installed compressor head. [Mechanical Interfaces And Opening Quantities](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Mechanical%20Interfaces%20And%20Opening%20Quantities) owns their accepted first-pass branch tables. At the collar, commissioning, the fixed address, seated Fork and bus power are shared prerequisites; poll neutrality and display-cleared are independent branch readiness. Poll-only acceptance leaves one unreadable, uncapturable sample in the unlatched buffer; clearing discards it, and no later attempt combines with it. At the bench, the vessel must be eligible, secured and clamped and Fork seated. Valve accepts below 12 O; compressor accepts only if the vessel begins the wave at 8–11 O. A vessel beginning at 0–7 O reaches at most 8 O by valve alone; a later 8–11 O wave can reach 12 O prepared-full. Fork preserves/copies the bare trigger but supplies no energy, gas, sensor value, translation or payload, and only one fixture can hold the one object at a time.

**Local causal trace and manifest.** This is one legal commissioned, ready happy path, not a promise that every proposed chain will accept. The astronaut returns carrying Fork. They store other cargo, remove Fork from the chosen rig, and seat it at the receiver: **fixed ship poll control → Fork input → poll gate + display latch**. With both fixture receivers ready, one limited value is observed and captured; Fork is reclaimed, ending monitoring. They move that same instance to the bench: **fixed ship packing control → Fork input → oxygen-valve control + compressor-cycle control**. With both fixture receivers ready, one or more canisters reach prepared-full only as each cycle completes; Fork is reclaimed, ending preparation. At departure the manifest contains exactly one Fork—active in the chosen rig or inactive cargo—plus the selected prepared canisters at their normal carrying sizes. The receiver and bench are dark. The pressure record and completed canister states persist as produced results. No object, gas or signal was duplicated, and the only material loss was any oxygen later breathed or separately authored consumed input; listening, packing and reclaiming themselves cost only chosen world time aboard.

This is a scoped clarification for these two legacy fixtures. Whether fixed ship maintenance controllers use exactly this presentation, and their detailed readiness, remain interface work; changing the portable Fork’s catalogue behavior is not proposed.

This is a scoped clarification for these two legacy fixtures. Their first-pass readiness/branch behavior is now finite but remains proposed rather than owner-selected or validated; detailed presentation remains interface work. Changing the portable Fork’s catalogue behavior is not proposed.
