plot-foreshadowing

This chapter consists primarily of authorial notes and internal commentary regarding the timing and narrative logistics of a scene involving a delayed approach of a ship called OOB and the communication with a character named Steel. The notes highlight concerns about the plausibility of time intervals, the need to avoid telegraphing plot developments too early, and the coordination of character actions within the timeline. The chapter does not contain narrative prose but rather meta-textual reflections on story structure and pacing.
