ENDINGS

  OPEN_RETURN     Bad: the voice receives an open upstream path; nodes count
                  toward synchronization and the scene cuts out.
  PERSONAL_ID     Bad: the system registers the operator and reassigns 608.
  SERVICE_RESET   Funny bad: every relay wakes and prints WHO RESET WISCONSIN.
  RETREAT         Safe but unresolved: the hatch is locked and maintenance
                  becomes overdue.
  LOST_NODE       Strange: the player emerges in an abandoned node and 608
                  is marked LOST.
  BIZARRE_ECHO    Bizarre: a cordless phone answers with the player's future
                  voice and two keys exist.
  FALSE_VICTORY   False success: Koshkonong is restored but synchronization
                  reaches 6 / 7 and the network is forming memory.
  FIELD_TRANSFER  Canonical good ending: Node 19 is isolated, the network
                  remains below wake threshold, and field access opens.

REQUIRED CLUES FOR THE CANONICAL ENDING

  Station identity: identify NITETIME.NET / Node 608, never the operator.
  RETURN ONLY: maintenance goes inward; the voice must not get an answer.
  Three tones: synchronization sequence, not an alarm.
  03:13: the maintenance alignment window.
  Metal key: authorized surface-node credential.
  Source trace: Node 19 is bridging the violation; Koshkonong is holding.

MAJOR REVELATIONS

  The Garage exists because Node 608 was already present.
  The Quiet Array is a distributed return-suppression network.
  The UFO is one component of a shield, not the source of the signal.
  The network is beginning to remember itself. Something inside it is
  becoming active when nodes synchronize.

BOOK THREE HOOK

  INCIDENT 35: LOST NODE begins at the field-transfer destination NODE 19.
  The player cannot return by the same path.
