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.

**Six proposal packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **14:01 Jerusalem time**: the moving scan now has a placed horde fight, growth before its climax, and a discovered bridge that changes the next trip.

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 — Rescue under pressure | Draft and single critique complete; Systems is writing its one response | Reviewed proposal **15:15**, range **14:45–16:15** |

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

| 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 | Today **15:15** | **14:45–16:15** | One critique and response; an understandable owner choice with costs |

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

Near-term estimates have moderate confidence. 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. Today's first packet finished at 12:08 against a revised 13:00 target; subsequent packages finished at 12:32, 12:45 and 13:26. F2.9 records the rescue draft at 14:03, its focused response and parallel work on the station-completion payoff. The moving scan and preservation audit are complete. The overall dates remain unchanged because supporting design and creative choices still need work. Earlier estimates 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). One priority question remains: which build direction to deepen first. It does not discard the others or approve every proposed rule.

PM will next bring concrete story and rescue alternatives, the effect of completing the station connection, and a costed scope proposal. [Open Decisions](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Open%20Decisions) is the wider issue index; its recommendations remain proposals. Its fourteen categories are not fourteen answers needed before work can continue.
