And the pent-up emotions could be used for a little bit of angst later on if one of the characters can't handle the pressure anymore.

OK... here's what I've got worked out.
The complex itself is tucked away on a large ranch spread known to be the home of what is generally regarded as a slightly eccentric bunch of new agers, different enough to be regarded as somewhat batty, not overtly militant in the way that would get unwelcome attention from the BATF, though they do have firearms, though the only ones in sight would be a few "varmint guns" for dealing with predators. They breed Rocky Mountain horses, though they have a few other breeds as well. The cave system itself is connected to tunnels and bunkers and has several arena-sized caverns in it. There is an underground river that they can get hydroelectric power from. The underground facilities include living areas for humans, pens for goats, sheep, pigs, llamas and a few cattle, hutches for poultry and rabbits, hydroponics, stables, cisterns for water and enough supplies to last three to five years, depending on the number of people and animals. If you think horses can't live underground, just google up "pit pony" sometime. Animal manure is utilized to produce methane gas and solid fuel to supplement fuel supplies, which are primarily for power generation though they will be storing ATV's and ultralight aircraft on site.

Sounds like everything's ready for the RP to get started tomorrow. And I can certainly agree with all that you've mentioned about these eccentric humans living on a ranch with everything they need to survive.
All that's needed now is to create the characters that we're going to RP as. Of course, I'm playing Delfina, but I can create other characters, if neccesary.

OK, I got the intro up. I did it as a child's diary so that I could set the situation up without getting lost in details. I also left lots of room open for different kinds of characters. Perhaps the tech-inclined ones could be monitoring communications or life support systems or things like that.

Martin, yes. Amélie was born in the Cars world.
But first, I'll try to figure out a few things that aren't quite clear to me. (I'll backread this thread)

DF, if you don't understand something, maybe I can help clear some things up for you. And if I can't do that, ask Eva. We'll be happy to help you.

State/Province and Country of Origin: California, United States
Clan Affiliation: Seekers
Personality: Curious, thoughtful, kind, smart
Appearance: 5'2" (height), 130 lbs (weight), amber hair (wavy, shoulder-length), slightly tanned skin

History: Delfina was previously born within the Sierra Nevada desert in California, but her parents were frequently moving about the states because of their military background, the Air Force. She grew up entirely in a different state. Delfina took Geology and graduated with a degree in college. She moved to Los Angeles after that to work as a geologist in the natural history museum there. But the city life got too hectic for her so she moved again, this time to Colorado, where she heard about the Seekers. Delfina found she liked their way of life, but not their beliefs, and joined up with them, separating herself from her former friends and family, and only taking her husky mix, Shadow, with her for company. While there, Delfina had become close with a man named Sidney Crawford, whom she felt the most comfortable with than any of the other Seekers. She has taken to being independent from everyone else and goes where she might find things of interest. Never liked having secrets kept from her, so she insisted that whatever plans were being made for the benefit of the clan, she needed to know.
