Updated **15 September**. The owner has chosen **fresh hordes each expedition** and **regular growth through fighting, with larger transformations**. Permanent changes and carried property remain; temporary combat power resets whenever you return home.

**Eighteen proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **18:28 Jerusalem time**: [the first useful invention](/Hold%20The%20Flood/First%20Expedition%20Options). The opening now connects an optional personal Fork use to its station use, restores the warning that makes docking frightening, and explains the shutter latch plainly. Systems is now developing four existing clinical rooms as recognisable hospital places. The separate short-rescue choice remains open.

Start with [The Game](/Hold%20The%20Flood/The%20Game), continue through [three expeditions into the observation ward](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Expedition%20Proposal), then [Coming Home](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Coming%20Home) and [Discovery in a Changing Station](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Connecting%20The%20Station). For combat, follow [Hordes and Builds](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hordes%20and%20Builds) into [Three Ways to Break a Horde](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Build%20Comparison).

| Completed package | Actual time today | What changed |

| 69 — Short rescue and death comparison | 14:20 | A person’s records, a short horde crossing and a homecoming; two unselected failure approaches with explicit protection and retry costs |

| 71 — Campaign scope comparison | 14:56 | A 40-room reference versus 36 denser rooms, with named losses and retained work; current mechanism counts aligned and old hour allowances clearly qualified |

| 73 — Whole campaign | 15:26 | [The campaign from docking to deepest discoveries](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Whole%20Game%20Outline), with the horde/build/bridge climax, human consequences and open endings explained |

| 75 — Equipment and combinations | 16:05 | [Twelve equipment parts](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment%20Catalogue), introduced through visible behavior and a working build; readiness and installed-part explanations corrected |

| 77 — Enemy guide | 16:46 | [Nine creatures and two horde setpieces](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Combat%20And%20Enemy%20Roster), explained through visible warnings, pressure and responses; rescue and carrying examples corrected |

| 79 — A person in the crowd | 17:59 | [Nadi's history and Ivo's memory](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Hospital%20Story%20Directions), with honest crossing evidence, ordinary horde combat and a cheaper record-only alternative |

| 81 — A hospital worth remembering | Systems is working; independent reviewer preparing criteria | Draft **20:00**, range **19:15–20:45**; reviewed proposal **21:00**, range **20:00–22:00** |

|---|---|---|---|

| Moving-scan proposal | **Delivered 13:39** | Earlier than 14:15 target | Concrete location, rising fight, build climax, discovery and next trip |

| Reviewed short-rescue proposal | **Completed 14:20** | Earlier than 15:15 target | One critique and response; owner comparison published, shared rules await selection |

| Costed campaign comparison | **Completed 14:56** | Earlier than 17:00 target | Named retained, moved and removed experiences; current counts and historical allowance distinguished |

| Readable campaign overview | **Completed 15:26** | Earlier than 16:00 target | Opening through deeper and optional play shows horde growth, discoveries and people, with current proposals distinguished |

| Readable equipment reference | **Completed 16:05** | Earlier than revised 16:30 target | A reader can picture the twelve parts and their combinations, find actual costs and distinguish current mechanisms from proposed alternatives |

| Readable enemy guide | **Completed 16:46** | Earlier than revised 17:15 target | The nine creatures, their horde roles and two setpieces are explained through what the player sees, chooses and overcomes, with actual behaviors retained through review |

| A person in the crowd | **Completed 17:59** | Earlier than revised 18:50 target | One existing ward encounter becomes a personal discovery, with an optional home response, a simpler record-only alternative and explicit renewal/content costs |

| Coherent revised design wiki | **23 September** | **21–28 September** | Readable core and supporting rules aligned; consequential choices explicit |

The hospital-place estimate has moderate-to-low confidence: four spaces and their obligations already exist, but making them distinctive without expanding the design needs judgment. The full-wiki estimate has low confidence. The campaign date has very low confidence and remains a planning allowance pending a fresh content estimate. None promises development, validated fun or the desired number of playable hours; those require a separately authorized phase.

The pre-pause targets were 15 September for the readable wiki and 17 November for detailed campaign design. Five paused calendar days and the outside review's core-loop findings moved those dates. F2.31 records the opening completed at 18:28, ahead of the revised 19:10 target. The four-room clinical pass began at 18:29. It addresses an existing gap: the region explains its machines more clearly than the hospital people lived in. The pass adds no room or encounter and must preserve the current combat, rescue, evidence and persistence rules. The optional owner reaction to horde, home and opening experiences remains unanswered. The overall dates remain unchanged because broader experience coverage, supporting clarity and consequential creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates and reasons remain in revision history and the forecast checkpoint.

- Broader expeditions must sustain fresh combat, meaningful growth and different discoveries around persistent changes.

- Full readiness requires a coherent player journey and honest scope, beyond internally consistent tables.

The two immediate combat questions are answered in the [Owner Brief](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Brief). The current concrete choice is in [Rescue Under Pressure](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Rescue%20Under%20Pressure): if the astronaut dies after Yeva starts crossing the prepared short route, does she finish and reach the ship, or take shelter and require a new attempt after the shift? PM recommends finishing; the stronger failure/retry case and both safety exceptions are explained. The owner has been asked directly; no answer is inferred. The first survivor and wider survivor mortality remain open.

The earlier build-priority question also remains: which direction to deepen first. It does not discard the others or approve every proposed rule.
