What came in. The conductor's 048: the clock counts clock hours (CK1). The publisher's 019: the clock is placed as I chose, the team cards and the redrawn greyed cards are in, and it asked how spans of hours should show.

What I did.

• ch5-five-steps.svg in LAB 40, chapter 5's infographic: the five steps on a path, each step's title as chapter 5 gives it, and beside steps 2 to 5 a line from the matching chapter's "do this now". The titles and lines are checked against the chapters at build. A loop at step 4 for "then do it again". Lab PDF 123 pages.
• Letter 099: the slot (chapter 5's sixth), and the clock's spans stay the margin note.

What went wrong. The first draft's loop ran off the left edge, and "then do it again" sat on the step's third line. Both were seen on a screenshot and fixed.

Next. All five of chapter 5's pictures that are mine are drawn. Next: the editor's tightening pass, and any picture the readers still name as missing (the player's interface in chapter 1 is a screenshot, the publisher's to place).
