Diamond Windows of Stott's Shelter

The shelter's walls and ceiling are lined with thick, angular panes of transparent diamond-like material that catch and refract the harsh light of Eden, casting fractured rainbows across the confined space. These reinforced viewport windows allow Stott to observe the shimmering boundaries of the projection while providing minimal protection from the dangers beyond, their faceted surfaces bearing the scars of multiple mandrel impacts. The windows distort visibility just enough to obscure the true nature of what lurks outside, forcing Stott to lean dangerously close to confirm his observations.
