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.

**Twelve proposal or editorial packages have been completed today.** The latest finished at **15:44 Jerusalem time**: five readable survivor portraits and their fifteen scenes, with a rescue-retry inconsistency corrected. 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 reference | Systems is rewriting the twelve-part catalogue around visible behavior, useful combinations and meaningful carrying choices. Its reviewer has saved independent criteria and is ready for the submitted page | Draft **16:30**, range **16:00–17:15**; reviewed page **17:30**, range **16:45–18:30** |

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

| 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 |

| 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. F2.19 records the campaign overview completed at 15:26 and the cast page at 15:44. The equipment reference is now being rewritten; its review target is 17:30. The cast review found that death before a rescue retry must preserve the current shelter, and the relevant pages now agree. The home-loop page also now correctly says that either return brings fresh hordes next expedition. The journal finished at 15:06. The reviewed scope comparison and factual reference alignment finished at 14:56. The station-completion comparison finished at 14:36. The rescue comparison was completed at 14:20. 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). 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.
