The Expedition Ledger has moved from concept to code. Thirty entries are seeded across the zones, each with a rarity, lore text, and a place in its chapter. Until you find the creature yourself, its page shows a silhouette and a question mark — the book fills in only through piloted dives, never by spending.
The part we cared about most this week: completing a page now reaches into the fleet's stat pipeline for real. A finished chapter grants a permanent bonus — yield, light, whatever that chapter rewards — and it applies from that moment on, the same way for every pilot who earns it. What a pilot keeps is starting to matter as much as what a pilot finds.
Next: getting the Ledger's aged-paper, ink-and-watercolor presentation in front of the drone during an actual dive, not just in test output.
