# Continuity Report: Chapter 26

## Diagnosis

Chapter 26 lands the first crew and machines on The Wanderer, revealing that its surface is unstable rubble rather than reliable rock.

## Timeline Updates

- The chapter opens at 1 year, 211 days until keyhole crossing.
- First descent module lands on E2-X1/The Wanderer.
- First mass-driver site moves four kilometers due to crust instability.

## Character State Updates

- Ilyon is first onto The Wanderer and accidentally gives the public line that it is uglier than he hoped.
- Liora identifies layered crust and voided slag faster than Earth models.
- Mira manages language carefully by using The Wanderer on open channel.

## Worldbuilding Updates

- The Wanderer surface includes black ridges, gray dust, metallic glints, cliffs, loose regolith, voids, static, and unstable anchors.
- Landing equipment includes drill crawlers, anchor frames, power units, survey masts, and mass-driver rail sections.

## Unresolved Promises

- Whether enough stable driver sites can be found.
- Whether dust/static damage slows construction further.

## Foreshadowing Introduced

- Rubble pretending to be a world foreshadows thrust losses and sabotage concealment.

## Required Bible Updates

- Track first landing and Liora's crust-mapping importance.
