Despite the helmet, Blank didn't make much of an effort to hide her positive reaction. However, she didn't dwell on it, for they had a job to do. She made one final scan to update everyone's maps, and this time, everything was clear for them to progress.

"About five minutes out sir, we're making progress as quickly as we can. Joker keeps heading off in a different direction."
Joker did so again now, turning from the direct path they had been moving down and taking a side route.

Joker of course, was mute and couldn't answer.
He stopped at an intersection of corridors and looked around, confused. He stepped forward, backward, and then forward again. He dragged Knight up to him and held his palm up. A little map projected itself up a few inches above his hand. He stepped forward and it cut out into static. He stepped back again, and it snapped back into focus. He looked at Knight warily.
Knight nodded. "Sir, I think I understand. There are spots where the feed we're getting from you seem to get cut off, and they're between us. What should we do sir?"

Blank studied the map, trying to figure out what could be causing the interference. After a moment, she flagged two of the nearest spots that were highlighted purple. "Sir, may I recommend that we investigate these areas first? We may find something linked to the interference that Knight mentioned."

"I understand, sir, and forgive me for speaking out of turn, but based on what they said, they might not be able to reach that spot, or it'll at least take them some time. We may also begin experiencing it. It's your call, sir. I understand your hurry more than you think."

Joker projected a still image of the map and waved Knight in place behind him, walking nonchalantly toward the room that Kaiju had indicated. The lights overhead flickered but stayed on. Knight could see a pile of small dead astrophages formed from steal and flesh to one side. All of them had only a few decisive wounds, likely from crushing damage.
"Is there another LOKI here? Or did Kaiju and Blank already head this way?" Knight asked. Joker made no indication that he had heard. "Come on, don't be an asshole. You're mute, not deaf." Still nothing. Knight looked around confused. Did it cut off radio communications too? The lower part of his mask twitched until it opened. Finally, he had gotten that to work. He repeated his question.
Joker shrugged, and held a finger up to his lips. He pointed at the dead 'phages. Of course, Knight thought, there could be more around where those came from. He nodded. Looks like they'd be out of contact with Kaiju for a while.

Blank nodded to her squad leader, clearly appreciative that he acknowledged her suggestion. She took point once more, keeping an eye on the map. After a couple of minutes, it fizzed a bit, showing that they might start experiencing the interference. She held up a hand and waited for the map to reform. As soon as it did, her eyes widened in panic.
She'd lost the signals from Joker and Knight.

" i knew we should have headed to the bundle! now we have no idea if theyre alive!" anger masked the panic in his voice. after a moment of silence he spoke, much calmer. "apologies. lets hurry. i dont want anything to happen to the others or us."

Sadness filled Blank's voice as she studied the map, hoping that the disappearance was just a momentary lapse in signal. It was for nothing, though. "Kaiju, I... I just thought... I'm sorry, sir. Lead the way."
