This is the branch a mission takes when a campaign wants the player to start looking somewhere else because of what happened earlier. The value is a waypoint number, read exactly as HomeCell is, and it is chosen over that key whenever global flag 0 is set as the map is opened. Because the flag is carried forward from the previous mission, the choice is settled before the player can do anything about it.

The keys do not share a fallback. The repair that supplies a cell for an unplaced waypoint is applied to HomeCell alone, so an alternate the scenario never placed yields no cell and the view is centered on it regardless. The out-of-range hazard described under HomeCell reaches the alternate too, without even that repair in front of it.
