at a guess ... outside
Caused by the Nu Gui (Brandi) with her fists.
And if that's the case, the stasis field is disturbingly strong
The the Nu Gui (Brandi) is probably also the cause of the broken door Nadette conveniently didn't have to open
i'll guess that the hallway door got trashed in either the aftermath of the initial catastrophe that caused her (Stasie) to be running into the stasis chamber room in the first place... OR, more recently during the self-destruct arc a while back. but NOT by Thup personally, that doesn't seem to be her style (she's not manipulating anyone into doing it FOR her). while technically you could say that the damage WAS caused by Thup either from the volcanoes, or the self-destruct, but i think that it's more likely a "natural causes" thing. i'm pretty sure that the damage that looks like bullet holes is probably just rock chips from the damaged hallway door hitting the tube she's in and bouncing off.
pps: I wonder if there is just the one 'survivor', or are there more?
unknown as of yet, but Nadette said "get to the stasis chamber(S)" (emphasis mine in the plural...) and the vision girl getting burned up said "get to the stasis CHAMBER" note there was no plural there... i think it's a matter of semantics, the vision girl was talking about getting TO the chamber/ room that all of the stasis chamber TUBES are located in, so they're BOTH right... as for whether there are more than one survivor, hmm, unknown as of yet.. I'll bet that all the STAFF of this facility were supposed to go into these tubes, and the REST of the population were the ones to go into the crystals. seeing as how she seems to be the equivalent age to Nadette and Atsali, i'll hazard a WAG that she is both NOT knowledgeable in the creation of Golems, (she is more than likely aware that they EXIST, but not the process of how to actually CREATE them.) AND, that she was probably one of the kids OF a staff member and she may or may not have even been allowed in here under normal circumstances (way back then, her mom or dad probably gave her a tour of work one day, so that's how she knows about the tubes, heck the lady in the vision could have BEEN her mom)... and THAT will be her salvation from Atsali's stated plan to destroy this place if that kind of info could possibly get out.
as for MORE survivors, MAYBE... there are probably more of these individual tubes with others in inside, but maybe she's at the back of the room... it kinda makes sense, right? if this room is to be a life-boat, then as a person gets to the room all in a panic, do think they will go to the BACK FIRST and leave closer tubes empty?... nope, human nature is such that the first people in will choose a tube closer to the door they came in, and let other people coming in later fend for themselves by sending them to a tube further away... i'll bet that when Atsali catches up to Nadette and gets here, she'll have passed by the other tubes only to find the other they WERE cracked open by the damage, and the person inside killed... so here we are, left with a sole survivor, (that probably doesn't know how to make Golems in the first place,) in the tube that was FURTHEST from the doorway so it's the only one to survive intact...
pppps: If this is the person Nadette was/is seeing the past through, I wonder how looking at 'herself' is going to affect her? A brief moment of confusion [that's ME! No, I'm me, that is someone else], or so serious mental trauma [AAARG! + collapse] or somewhere in-between?
ppppps: I was wondering what the thing behind the the young lady was, then I worked it out. It's the hem(?) of her dress .... burnt!
. I think she only *just* got into stasis in time.
i'll bet that she'll get zapped back into being her normal self shortly, as she sees "herself" going thru the motions of getting into this tube, and when Nadette tries to re-do it and CAN'T because Stacie ALREADY DID IT that will be enough cognitive dissonance that it breaks the "Seer Trance" that she's currently in right now. as for the results OF that dissonance, I'll bet it will look something like
what happens after this, unfortunately i couldn't find the clip i wanted to see: the point at which he REALIZES it. as for her dress still going to be smoking... meh, to me it looks like she is standing inside a tube that takes a bit of time to rev up, and that she's slumped over in a position of relief that she made it there in time. she also has an expression on her face that implies she's NOT in any rush anymore and can relax... probably she was the one to close the stone door to the hallway, protecting her from further injuries, thus giving her a bit more time to prepare the tube and get in it. taking all that into account, i would say that her dress is more than likely no longer on fire/smouldering. she may or may not be injured as per the patches on her elbow and shoulder, but those may also be just soot where she had rubbed up against something during the run towards the facility.
now comes a new question... will she be placed in an orphanage? or will Atsali and Pickle get a new sister? Will she have known Lily from before this whole thing started? will that cause a metaphysical "retcon" of Lily's Vampire status?... ie if Vamps are created by someone dying that is not remembered by anyone, if Stacie DOES know Lily then would her vampirism "go away" and make her mortal again, because someone still remembers her? (not likely, i know, but it is a cool theory, huh?)
