Design a discovery-first survivorlike under the [Owner Brief](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief), with expressive builds, meaningful hordes and an authored colony. Written comparisons establish proposals and dependencies; they do not demonstrate fun, balance, accessibility, production feasibility or campaign duration. This phase remains design only.

PM's narrow parent-equipment alignment432 and legacy Discovery Chain/Expedition integration441–443 are complete. The latter preserves historical post-death routes and world-time capture with full frozen journal inspection; it grants no new access guarantee. Global04 and death/rescue ordering remain unresolved. Do not treat a former fixed-anchor alternative as owner-selected, or invent destruction, duplication or survivor loss to handle a shift.

[Story And Ending Map30](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Story%20And%20Ending%20Map) preparation closed466 at20:42:22 Jerusalem, final03c9cb8ee95564f08cf59b065f97c0a008981a489f8a8b223df0048d4cfb6de9. One focused critique/response separated present diagnostic evidence from limited historical chronology, specified isolation's retained/lost evidence and used shared mechanical cycle impressions. Four mystery/personal chains, apparent/deeper/optional-secret layers and five proposed human scene variants form a usable first-pass contract. Captive/empty-core, treatment, reversibility and departure remain proposals; actual placement, full cast/15scene allocation and exhaustive variants remain unfinished.
+
+
**New apparent-ending question now with the owner:** show credits and allow continuing from before departure (PM recommendation), or make departure permanently end this save. The question is unanswered; neither continuation behavior nor permanent save closure is adopted. Together with final station-layout behavior, first survivor and equipment acquisition, this makes four pending owner questions.

[Two Language Discovery Map29](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Two%20Language%20Discovery%20Map) preparation closed459 at20:23:52 Jerusalem, finaldf0f48f5bd39659105ca5e3b31e7341e4d0a8b36618a7eaed8f60d7120038a0a. One focused critique/response restored distinct address/body evidence, kept valid captures usable across lives and specified the iris's local B input and visible completion state. Four operational chains and the two-language/two-register classification are prepared proposals; actual clue/string/room variants, final origins/story and comprehension evidence remain unfinished. One local plate/input/state variant fits the existing iris mechanism; no extra region/objective/module/mechanism slot.
[Home And Colony Loop28](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Home%20And%20Colony%20Loop) preparation closed450 at20:01:12 Jerusalem, final5bff34369c17fcbdb4bb948373c9e2a255d0ab1887a5308b96e9d1fb6adc95b6. One focused review/response clarified commissioning, first-return actions and participant/facility availability. Living/death return, deliberate storage/sharing, refill, optional work and loan/reclaim form a usable first-pass contract. Five project briefs remain two reused/three new with three proposed fixed ship fixtures; five final cast arcs/15scenes, exact fixture/control presentation, owner choices and gameplay validation remain unfinished.
