But, the trick for your weak point in this model is the magnetic field; use a strong magnetic field generator (like in an MRI) in close proximity to your mesa to create a temporary disruption that acts like a turtle shell for your intrepid explorers to walk through the mesa wall. You might get a little plasma loss but your explorers will be inside their own shell. | |

This can allow at least the impression of being 'hard light', without actually literally being solid light. | |
