My head is spinning. STOP ALL TALKING AT ONCE!
First, I CAN'T ENTER THE ROCK. Really, there is a BLACK HOLE IN THE CENTER. I checked in some of the files. There is no way in without being sucked in. Someone said eating it, but I can't eat something that is 2 kilometers thick.
Second, I think that Null person is the swarm. Yeah, that's my guess. It is in control of all the computers, or something.
And speaking of relocating, I've been trying to do that for a whole week. It's a maze down here! The worst part is, it's still in the clockworks. Down here, these gears are hyper active, or something. Everything changes at least once an hour.
And also, yes I am on an elite squad, but no, I'm not a ultra fighter. Seriously, that tank isn't by himself. Every time I see him, he always has around 20 other shadowy things with him. And I'm not talking about the corrupted creatures, he has the shadows on his side. I can deal with my-GET DOWN {stabbing sounds}-my own shadow, but this thing is going to fall apart after stabbing so much of the floor. And while I stab those, he has plenty of time to charge at me.
Oh, and I would love to, but I can't make it to Haven like you can. You can use a warp something or other. I have never even REACHED the **** place. I don't have such a device. I can't just warp to some safe place. I DON'T HAVE THE STUFF TO DO THAT.
And I forgot to mention, my mist tank is BROKEN. I've found that out by now. I don't even have a half unit of energy. Either that or there is no mist in this air. I think the bane rock has something to do with it. DRAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF THIS #@%$ #@$%@.
{Heavy breathing} {Hushed voice} Ok, bad idea. Yelling is a bad bad bad idea. Um, ya, I'm not going to be talking for a while. I need to get out of here.

Well, here's something:
Glave, have you kept of record of how long you've been down there in need of help? You mentioned that the gates have changed maybe more than once per hour - that's what usually occurs for us up in Haven, perhaps they are growing increasingly faster as time passes?
Also, you say that you found files on BaneRock down there on your computer console...is there anything else of intrigue in those files?
I think we are going to overload the computer. :/ Perhaps we should make it a goal of ours to only have one person reply after each time the terminal responds. Even if it means the trolls will have to stop trolling...

Grrrr, even if you can talk, I'm not listening. I'm sick of encountering half dead squad members. I'm going to kill you all, starting from you! {Several gun shots} H-hey, were'd you go? Ok, well, back to you guys on the radio. He was the leader of my squad. Darn, if they are all down here...drat I can't take this! I'm going to end it for all of them, and then I'll find the alpha squad! Darn it, I'll do it or I'll die trying!
{Unknown speaker} {Laughing} Something has changed you, Glave. You were always the timid one. Maybe I am too late...
Huh, were the heck are you?
{Unknown speaker} Up above.
{Gasp} How did you get up there so fast?
{Unknown speaker} That'll be for later. {Hard thud(Something fell?}} Right now, I have to let you know, I'm not infected.
Wha? How? You...
{Unknown speaker} Shut up! Listen. You are infected right now. Unless the Swarm get right at your brain through an injection, it works slowly. What you just said about the others means it has you. The reason they haven't injected you the same way they did the others is because they want you to reach the surface.
Huh? Why didn't they just throw me up there?
{Unknown speaker} Because they want to make you think you did it through sheer force. They want you to have to receive some sort of medical attention once your up there. Now the only thing I can do to you is what I did to the others. And I can tell your about to say you won't die, but that's not what I mean. I didn't kill the others. They are now statues. I'm going to solidify you all and then get to the surface myself. With the help of the other knights, I'll get a cure and then come back down with it. But I'd like to freeze the Swarm before it spreads to much within you. Now I just hope you'll make this fast so it doesn't get any farther.
Like I'd listen. All I've seen for the last week has been enemies and hallucinations from them. For all I know, you could be another one. This is all a trick to get me to hold still while you kill me. I'd rather run.
{Unknown speaker} Get back here! That's an order!
Hah, I only take orders from my real leader.

No, none of the others could talk at all, or at least didn't say anything beyond growling noises. I tried talking to Kalis when I saw her, but that just caught her attention. He might be untainted, but how can that be? The hole in his logic was that he said I couldn't get to the surface because I was infected, but if that's the case, he should be infected too, right? Oh, I'm looking for those statues. Although I think it could just be a setup to make me believe him or it.

I think we have to make a choice here...oh my.
We either could choose to save Glave, or continue to connect with NULLNULLNULL...who, according to Glave, is the Swarm.
Maybe we should take a vote here before we choose something, since I don't want to be the one to ruin this for people. I think that we should have the computer de-link the com channels, and while cutting the NULLNULLNULL channel leaving Glave's open.
Obviously, we don't know for sure, but it sounds like the sounds coming from NULLNULLNULL are affecting Glave...yet not us. Maybe if we do this we can establish if Stiletto was correct or not.
Reply (Glave):

Alright then. I vote to cut off the transmission towards Glave while keeping NULLNULLNULLNULLNULL connected to us. It will have to be the next guy though since I've already entered my command.
Right now, it looks like we'll have to keep NULL disconnected from Glave if we're going to keep him alive, but I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks. Someone might come up with a better suggestion.

We have to remember:
Glave is being affected by the Swarm. If Stiletto was right, he's been infected and will most likely be affected by this while we won't be.
I'd rather we go over this as our "team of analysts" before we make any types of commands or movements. Whatever decisions we make now could impact the story itself...it feels both cool and pretty impacting in itself.
@Isekuube: I guess my big thing is that although it can't affect us, it will "affect" Glave. I'd recommend we keep the $ŵ∆ям com channel muted until we can figure some things out...maybe have the computer analyze our most important evidence?
