You explain that you did not know there were such strong feelings about the current state of the group and that things would improve soon. Derval seems to ponder this for a bit and then explains that it will take some time, maybe even a year, to get everything together and make a good plan to go somewhere else. If things look up in the meantime, maybe they will stay.

You burned through some supplies, but the good news from the larger world has cheered people up. There are also multiple barricades now protecting you from whatever is out there and a better understanding of the tunnel systems.
Your second in command, Valda, asks if they should get some more weapons or learn about the monsters while one of the former police notes that in private there is still a lot of griping about the conditions.
Valda has been invaluable over the past year and seems ready to take on some of her own responsibilities. She could spearhead an operation for you or keep assisting you.
Choose 2 or the same one twice for a bonus:A: Let's get to gardening.

You have your chance, but they will be more prepared to leave if it comes to that.
