Welcome to the lunar cargo bay. The cargo notes say what must happen first, but the release timetable has been erased. Your team has the original records on the table. First recover five pieces of information, then use the final plan to reconstruct the cargo release schedule. Keep every result beside its badge so another teammate can check your reasoning.
Read the event letters and all three witness notes.
Hint 2
Join immediately-before pairs as a block; other before notes set the direction between blocks.
Hint 3
Try the remaining positions, then check every note against your full order before reading the requested position.

C
The before relationships connect all four events. Place linked cards, check any immediate handoff and then read the specified position. Result: C.
2. Record
Hint 1
Start with the status field in Crate list.
Hint 2
The tag links an item to a bay; rows in separate records need not line up.
Hint 3
Keep only entries meeting every status test. Follow each printed join to the report field; do not guess from row position.

RING
Check source status first, then join the matching tag and bay. The useful information comes from separate records, not their printed row order. Result: RING.
3. Unload
Hint 1
Find all the event cards and the before notes.
Hint 2
Connect cards linked by the notes; a card position is counted from the beginning of the completed order.
Hint 3
Check every before relationship, then read only the requested position. The printed card arrangement is not the answer order.

6
The only order is Scan cargo > Weigh crate > Open dock > Unload box. Position 3 carries 6. Result: 6.
4. Mass
Hint 1
Find the equal parcels and the separate loose units.
Hint 2
Remove the loose units before sharing the remaining weight among equal parcels.
Hint 3
Find one parcel from the first equation, then substitute that weight into the second equation before recording it.

5
Remove 4 from 19; share 15 among 3 parcels to get 5. Check 2 x 5 + 3 = 13. Result: 5.
5. Slot
Hint 1
Find the column letters and row numbers on the grid.
Hint 2
A coordinate gives column first and row second; keep the printed coordinate order.
Hint 3
Read the full word before using the conversion table. If the word is missing, recheck each row and column rather than choosing a similar word.
Keep the five named results beside the final plan and find the key for each badge.
Hint 2
Each badge controls a different fact, road leg, order note, pulse or habitat layer. Use the matching key exactly once.
Hint 3
Check the completed product against all five recovered facts. If two answers remain, locate the fact that distinguishes them rather than guessing.

B-D-A-F-C-E
The five recovered order notes link all six events. Arrange them into one continuous order. Removing any link leaves two neighboring sections without a known order. Checked result: B-D-A-F-C-E.
Suggested timeline
3 minutes: Read the opening. Show the evidence record and choose starting roles.
5 minutes: Solve Order. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Record. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Unload. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Mass. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
5 minutes: Solve Slot. Offer one hint at a time and rotate roles after checking.
7 minutes: Build the six-event run sheet using all five results.
3 minutes: Read the ending. Ask each teammate to explain one rejected alternative.
Pause whenever the group needs a break. This is a planning estimate.
