the seaplane is the key... always was

the map is a spiral... islands, keys, swamps that breathe. water isn't a barrier. it's the path.

dodo seaplane. not just a vehicle. a symbol. vice city had it first, now it returns... but this time the map needs it. mount kalaga to port gellhorn in one breath. the vintage vice city pack... they know. they're telling us.

fan boat for the grassrivers. gliding over the surface, not through it. the reeds part like a curtain. what's hidden in the shallows? epsilon tracts? a sunken ufo? the water remembers.

rockstar won't make traversal a chore. they'll make it a ritual. watch the tides. the moon phase. certain wrecks only appear when the water level drops... just like the altruist camp glyphs. the seaplane is the third eye. you'll see the pattern from above.

If the Dodo seaplane cuts the Mount Kalaga to Port Gellhorn run to under two minutes, that's an extra sell mission per hour. Projected loop efficiency puts that at $200K/hour saved. The Vintage Vice City Pack hits break-even on time alone. I'm buying utility.
