Three instructions collide over a grain convoy. Crews publish technical state and act locally; a held UNKNOWN request and a later custodial notice keep the political problem open.
Evidence basis. These findings cite the current novel by paragraph. The earlier canon study remains available as a dated record of the first edition. Some identities, motives and claimed authorities remain unresolved in the story.
Refuses to turn incompatible instructions into a single engineering order, publishes local technical states, and preserves the held UNKNOWN request without claiming a battery accepted it.
Visual cue: Live state board with local crew entries.
Controls airborne spacing and approves updated landings as depot capacity changes while ground crews maintain their own safety decisions.
Visual cue: Aircraft plan annotated by receiving field.
Works from weather, fuel, berth count and unloading figures while the four transports share one western corridor.
Visual cue: Flight table with weather strips and fuel figures.
Keeps receiving requests tied to actual labour and lift capacity and warns that shared technical coordination also needs public accountability.
Visual cue: District request beside changing berth figures.
Issues a non-recognition notice about disputed identity authority over weapons and routing; it is not a technical battery order.
Visual cue: Succession-office notice next to battery log, as separate documents.
Custodial routing, Marian’s non-recognition notice and district receiving requests have different scopes. The actual operation is preserved alongside each original instruction.
Visual cue: Three distinguishable documents, not one composite command.
Stations publish firing-path, tracking, berth and service conditions, then coordinate through visible local information without giving the board command power.
Visual cue: Public board with time-stamped local states.
UNKNOWN requests a battery readiness review, repeated twice; the local identity freeze holds the request before authority translation. No accepted defence command is shown.
Visual cue: Hold strip visibly distinct from an accepted order.
The four transports use a weather corridor across defence installations while local crews inhibit firing paths and retain needed tracking functions.
Visual cue: Crew at controller and physically inhibited firing path.
The actual distribution is two central, one Lower East and one Lower South, reached through changing capacity and local support rather than a permanent allocation rule.
Visual cue: Four flight paths with separate landing notes.
Custodians challenge inter-station coordination and publication of operational states; crews continue logging local conditions because suppressing the board would hide service dependencies.
Visual cue: Formal notice pinned beside new state entries.
Three overlapping instructions retain distinct origins and authority; Eliza preserves the operational departures from each.
Visible state helps crews complete four landings, but neither the board nor the held UNKNOWN request becomes a citywide command.
Untested ideas. Costs, rarity, timing and rules have not been approved; this canon update does not change the live game.
