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.

**Remaining M3 scope and staffing:** use the [Coverage finish map](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Design%20Coverage):04 continuity/parent alignment,34 main information/options, representative mechanical/quantity and actual-ID reference checks, finite scope/handoff and one coherence disposition. Full scripts and exhaustive variants belong to M4. **Adopted F1.14 forecast — 9 September:** M3 first-pass wiki now targets **14 September (11–18 September), low confidence**. M2 coherent core remains11 September (10–14); M4 detailed campaign remains10 November (20 October–1 December). The revision follows the remaining-deliverables audit and preparation closeouts25–33, including the actual24-module/40-room and ten-encounter/thirteen-mechanism first passes. It uses current PM, Systems and restored original Lead/Reviewer capacity; additional agents are not prerequisites. It is a scope-based calendar judgment, not a conversion of word counts or elapsed chat minutes into role-hours. A changed joining architecture, expanded first-pass scope, unresolved integration or unavailable capacity can move the estimate. No extra agent creation is required today; a10Sep technical/production candidate is useful only for a concrete independent handoff gap. Next ordinary forecast review9Sep18:00. Earlier Sep22/Sep25 scenarios remain historical; yesterday’s F1.14 draft was unpublished.

[Cast And Short Rescue Map31](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Cast%20And%20Short%20Rescue%20Map) preparation closed473 at21:12:44 Jerusalem, final6456406b101845e6c9a6563a69fc7f56c1dcc7bf8227445bf14a03fa072f5514. Five proposed people have fifteen uniquely identified first-pass scenes, three primary per person. One focused critique/response corrected the initial current walked rescue route, actual movement event and first ship-bench operation. D2 inherits Dorn participating in the initial demonstrated operation; later commissioned use follows Home28. Final cast, first survivor, mortality and owner choices remain unselected; full scripts, state/geometry variants and placements 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. It was the fourth question; the new rescue preference485 brings the current total to five, all unanswered.

[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.

[Regional Discovery Map](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Regional%20Discovery%20Map) preparation closed426 at18:32 Jerusalem, final3acda0183b13d531e5e93cfd7ef41909c33b19d970bdb4b0b3c01f4360427247. One focused review/response made both evidence orders concrete, replaced the abstract central gate with a pressure iris and recovery alternative, and clarified calibration, rig capacity and source/access conditions. Four regions and twelve objectives remain a SMALL proposal;Room32 now supplies24module/40room v1 briefs; cross-domain interfaces, detailed placement/state variants and story/ending choices still need work.

[Save And Content State](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Save%20And%20Content%20State) preparation closed417 at18:09:56 Jerusalem, final438cdf35f53bb537aed50bb8efab810866b289d6cf401b949d95bc7e27e8938c. One focused review/response clarified the carried rig/cargo set, actual person-and-airlock delivery, historical evidence and the provisional save-policy boundary. This is a first-pass continuity contract, not verified software; save policy, rescue/death/shift order, full-station behavior, transients and recovery remain open.

[Equipment Catalogue](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment%20Catalogue) preparation closed400 after one independent GPT review and response399. Twelve proposed reusable parts include a deliberate-movement switch and a directional nozzle. Three legal rig examples disclose capacity, activation and rewiring costs. Fork provisionally splits usable payload. Acquisition/growth paths are now prepared in26; exact tuning and owner selection remain open.

[Survival and Loadout](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Survival%20And%20Loadout) preparation closed392. It proposes resource/capacity lifecycle rules and opening packing choices, including retained prepared oxygen. Exact quantities and balance remain unselected.

[Whole Game Outline](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Whole%20Game%20Outline) is preparation-closed378 after draft369, focused review370 and response374. It connects the opening to middle, ending and secret layers, including a later expedition and finite content bands. It is a planning scaffold: story/ending choices, quantities and complete estimate coverage remain open.

[Connecting The Station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station) completed focused review323 and response324, with PM disposition329/331. It retains permanent latches as a local candidate, but the deep whole-station puzzle is **unresolved**: a source can be reused to latch seams one after another, so scarcity alone does not establish the proposed global ordering problem. Seams and power machinery are unchosen. New independent originals340/342 were read and jointly released346–348. Systems comparison349 now evaluates room transformations, family bridges and simpler matching; the mechanism comparison preparation closed363 after review356 and response361; detailed whole-station content and owner mechanism/payoff choice remain open. A single late insight is PM's quality target for the owner's ambition, not an additional quoted owner requirement; combining earlier discoveries could also satisfy it. A final stable layout is proposed as a reward and is awaiting owner reaction.

[First Expedition Options](/Hold%20The%20Flood/First%20Expedition%20Options) completed review325, response326 and closeout333. The owner has now selected **Option A**, the reusable-machinery opening, recorded344–345. One opening discovers a reusable part that powers both equipment and station machinery; the other discovers a risky route by watching a body lift. Temporary deployment has explicit time/capacity costs, and the lift needs extra local content. Both preserve natural death, carried property and existing connections. Option A is the selected direction; detailed rooms, values and loadout remain proposals, and neither opening is validated.

[Horde Creature Proposals](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Horde%20Creature%20Proposals) offers a telegraphed pressure-wave creature, a moving screen for a crowd and a readable oxygen-tether attacker. All can be avoided, interrupted or defeated, and a strong rig may overwhelm them. Their origins are replaceable candidates from either experimental era.

[Progression Options](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Progression%20Options) compares claiming functioning components from station machinery with observing their behaviour and fabricating chosen parts aboard. Both include useful legal build traces, changed uses of old parts and motivation for another expedition. The two independent originals were read, hash-verified and jointly released before Systems' practical comparison; preparation closed272. No economy, starting loadout, fabrication bench or installed-object persistence model has been selected. Comparative claims about surprise, targeting and attachment remain expectations rather than measurements.

[Hospital Story Directions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions) develops the fully revisable hospital draft into a captive ascendant or a departed being's surviving repair engine. Focused review296 and response301/304 are complete; PM closeout308 keeps the remaining semantic evidence gap explicit. The captive's proposed request needs evidence distinguishing a request from a maintenance record; correlation alone is insufficient. [Alien Utterance Discovery](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Alien%20Utterance%20Discovery) finished one focused review and response353: the gallery supports useful interaction with a responsive process, not proof of a request, living writer or god. Neither story nor its ending is adopted.

- [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) and [Home Projects](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Home%20Projects): compatibility maintenance closed456 at20:15:57, revisionsacbc945c/996d235a; PM owns both parents STOPPED. Current Fork/supply, unloading, historical-route and refill rules align while the human scenes and reclaimable loans remain. This adds no package or global04 closure; the whole colony economy and emotional effect remain unvalidated.
