Sometimes we need a good refresher. Take a load off now and then! Supporting all of your weight on residual musculature around the bottom-side of your trunk can take a lot out of you so the onboard stasis chamber gives adult torsos and elder hemis alike a chance to decrompress various tissues that aren't necessarily meant to support a limbless human body. It's one of the few drawbacks of pruning but if we've found solutions to this, then we will surely find our way to our mysterious destination in the abyss!
