Might work for him, but what I'd want is an ability to switch that isolation on and off without being transported or sealed away. Just "DO NOT DISTURB". How does accommodating my wish to not be disturbed injure others?

The sad demise of pen and paper RPG's in the early 22nd Century, and the role of Game Masters, did contribute to the lack of general Genre Awareness before the Groupmind made it's initial moves.
