If I could go on record as a current resident of the supremely disconcerting locked underground vault:

Containing a dozen emotionally heightened strangers in cramped quarters with no familiarity or trust in the intentions of their captors on its own is a precarious choice. If the objective is to help new members of your Displaced find stability and integrate, you'd be surprised at the kind of building resentment that can occur over the course of a few days. There is, among some, a quickly breeding discontent. Particularly if the wrong combination of personalities feed off of one another, or clash with one another. It also doesn't take into consideration the mental health of those individuals, any pre-existing disorders or phobias, or the state of mind for people who have bad associations with nonconsensual imprisonment.

It's been mentioned to me that previous groups had been given the freedom to move around in a bar; a social setting with already integrated people and the ability to see the world outside of a stasis chamber would be a far better alternative.

Also.

Windows. Seeing sunlight over the course of four traumatic days might be slightly nice.


( In other words, he's coming off of intense chemical gaslighting and false imprisonment, woke up to intense chemical alterations and imprisonment, and he can feel the distress of a dozen people simultaneously.
