mutation_whole_story (one run from Mutation's new game) now ends events 101 to 107 and walks into field 9 for 108, where it waits on Kyvia (not yet ported). Before this it ended 101 to 104 and then stood at the Chaos Gate. Five things were in the way. All of them were in the pilot or the harness; none were in the port.

Gate Out from a field

After 268, the run stood in field 58 with nothing the story wanted there. gate_out opened PERSONAL and waited for menu 0, but menu 0 is PERSONAL only in a town. In a field it is 1, and in a dungeon it is 2. The pilot now takes Gate Out from menu 1 or 2, and 104 ends at frame 117,600 back in Carmina Gadelica.

A dungeon room's shut doors

In 115's dungeon the walker stood at a door that would not open. The room's doors stay shut while its foes stand (MoveDoor's doorAnm). The walker had marked those foes too far or hopeless and left them alone. Now, while DungeonArea.door.door_anm is false, every foe in the room is fought. The 115 survey then reached field 13.

The gate hack's Virus Cores

Area 45 is protected, so the gate's Warp opens the hack (menu 62). The hack wants the area's protect row: four pairs of core kind and count (key items, category 15). A player drains common foes for these cores, but the pilot drains only bosses, so it never had them, and the run stood before the hack from frame 129,000 to the end.

Under god mode, cores_for_hack (mutation_whole_story, and the survey's PINEY_SURVEY_GOD) now gives any cores that are short through the console's core LETTER N while menu 62 is open. This is a harness aid, like god and the infection hold. The pilot's own (62) arm then sets each slot and confirms, and 105 and 106 end at frames 146,100 and 147,900.

The desktop's late mail

After 107 the run stood on the desktop for 200,000 frames. The trace showed operate 0, with the menu idle and mail 88 unread. Reading mail 87 had delivered 88, but the desktop lists its inbox only once, in Desktop_control::AddAllList (0x00402030 in the desktop overlay, as the port cites it; run after the opening). So mail 88 was not in the list until the desktop opened again.

The pilot aimed at Mail whenever any mail in the save was unread. Each time it found nothing unread in the listed inbox, backed out, and went in again. It now aims at Mail only for the listed inbox, so it logs in instead. 108 then takes it to field 9 (frame 300,000 onward).

The desktop trace (PINEY_SURVEY_TRACE) now also prints the operate bits and the menu task's menu, status, open request and step.

Where the run stands

At 500,000 frames the run is in field 9 with the wants Leave, Town(2), Party(16), Area(47), Dungeon(47, 0), Point(2) and Area(9). 108's entry type=7 code=12 needs Kyvia, whose port is under way.
