None of which answers the question - why did this need to be a dawn raid, instead of going in while he was out at work?

As I understand it, the rate of post-hormone regret for these kids is extremely low. Like, single or double digits low.

Slowing them down after this is a plus, sure; but I'm still hung up on this: what would this let him get away with?

In what I suspect was an unintentional callback, there's an episode of Strange New Worlds where the computer guides someone as well. No arrows this time, it just blinks the hall lights in a pattern.

Arcane is one I was thinking to post here; I was trying to decide if it fits! I feel like the ending is supposed to be this dramatic moment, and it is; but I was mostly feeling like these poor kids (young adults) have lost all their role models and anyone from the older generation who might help them...

My go-to hard sci-fi recommendation is always The Expanse! I'm still catching up past the second season (read the full series), but I've really liked what I've seen so far!

Wasn't aware of that; so I'm glad you mentioned it! I always just rolled my eyes at it and moved on.

Evangelical advertising, talking about Jesus's experiences in a way that relates to what "everyday people" deal with.

It's not that they necessarily have to, some people will anyway to save a buck. And then you're just incentivising dangerous behavior.

I mean, if you thaw them without being ready for them, they die - so yeah, frozen.

Pretty sure this is why they keep training it on books, movies, etc. - it's already intended to make sense, so it doesn't need curated.

The details escape me, but there actually was still a way to progress after getting that message. I remember it involved the dwarf with the spider centurion legs; I think he knew something about where some of the pieces were.

They're reporting on the results of someone else's survey; so they can protest indignantly.
