Hidden ending: the Uncatalogued Component, Port 00, and the sunset
The crystal chain lives entirely in the bucket's existing schema — bulletins #7/#9/#12 read in reverse: coolant + reactor flux -> seed, seed + grow-bed daylight -> lattice, lattice quenched in charged coolant -> UNCATALOGUED. Bridge kiosk installs it in Port 00; the helm (which rejects you as INVENTORY all game) accepts, and the ship flies into a permanent sunset. Console donation remains ending A. Red herrings: zapped coolant, water-quenched slug. New bulletin #9 in hydro + crew graffiti hint in comms. Integration test now plays the hidden path end to end — all checks passing.

### Off-catalog chemistry (the hidden puzzle's cover)
|
||||
*IMPLEMENTED (v1, 2026-08-03): the chain lives in the bucket's own schema.
|
||||
Bulletin #7 (bonus bay): full coolant + reactor flux → seed-crystal.
|
||||
Bulletin #9 (hydro grow bed): seed + sustained daylight → lattice.
|
||||
Bulletin #12 (bridge): quench lattice in charged coolant → UNCATALOGUED.
|
||||
Install at the bridge diagnostic kiosk → Port 00 occupied → the helm obeys.
|
||||
Red herrings: zapped coolant, water-quenched slug. Ending B: permanent sunset.*
|
||||
Exposure already produces byproducts — extend with substance phase-changes:
|
||||
liquids crystallize (cold+rad), crystals sublime to vapor (heat), vapors
|
||||
condense on cold surfaces, slags, residues. These accumulate as apparently
