Mission recovery
Restart from the approved beginning
Use this only when the current run cannot continue. Completed objectives in this run will reset, while prior run history remains recorded.
Restart this mission?
The server will close this run and create a fresh run from the mission's approved start. This cannot be undone.
Private mission archive
Journey Journal
This is your character's private, server-authored history. Mission completion records use authoritative world time and UTC audit time; they are not rankings or streaks.

Open station, parcel, notification, and recovery workspaces. Consequential controls remain validated by the world authority and appear only when their prerequisites are available.

Live access does not publish a public tour
Public live entry and an immutable browser-local tour are separate owner decisions with separate authority.
Entry only, never owner authority
Character invitations
No authoritative invitation list
The server rejects self-invites, duplicates, unknown characters, overflow, stale station versions, and unauthorized changes.
Present-visitor consequence review
No present visitors projected
A restrictive access change denies new actions immediately, then gives an affected visitor a visible departure notice before safe relocation.

Choose a visible workspace below. In production, every eligible suggestion and supported phrase resolves to the same registered prompt and typed action.
Deterministic controls
Workspace directory
Critical paths remain directly usable without language input. Opening a workspace does not imply a query, mutation, or consent.

- Transcript cursor and expanded state

- Non-consequential filters, search, and scroll

- Trade Ready or Final Confirm
- Waypoint, publication, access, or invitation response
Reconnect clears stale confirmation, refreshes authoritative context, explains what expired, and requires a rebuilt review plus new explicit consent.
Deterministic recovery patterns
Operational states
Local presentation exercise
These states contain no operation identity, authoritative version, commit result, or server time. They test hierarchy and recovery language only.
Version conflict
A requested version differs from the current authoritative version.
- Commit state
- Known no-commit only when the server confirms it
- Required evidence
- Expected and current versions must come from authority
- Safe recovery
- Review the fresh safe state, then prepare a new request with explicit consent.
Consequential review pattern
Authoritative action unavailable
Local composition · no authority or consent
This review demonstrates the required hierarchy without preparing, authorizing, or submitting a mutation.
A production review is built only from a current typed action and authoritative projection. Missing evidence keeps the action unavailable.

Conversation text, a selected prompt, Ready, drag-and-drop, closing this dialog, or pressing Enter while text is active never confirms an action.

Authoritative movement
Use W/A/S/D to run, Num Lock to toggle auto-walk, hold Shift to walk, and hold Ctrl for precision movement. Arrow keys rotate and pitch the camera; Q/E or right-drag also orbits. The wheel or bracket keys zoom; the closest step enters first-person.
