I'm really sorry for the lack of updates, I've been sick and lethargic. :s
I think I'm going to do a text update for now so we can move the story along.
tell squadmates the comm nexus might be a bit pepperboxed

: Squad, I've been searching through the local channels and discovered the Pepperboxer's comm nexus is down.

: However they're also planning to destroy the Viper's.

: What, are you suggesting we stop them?

: Pentyl's got a point. If we let them do that, we could spy on them via the radio. It'd help us out a bit.

: That does sound like a good idea, but all that's going to do is provoke more battles.

: And that's why were here. To stop this entire war.

: So we're going to stop them?

: Yeah. Unless you have any objections.

: No sir. This seems fair enough. Do you have any idea when it's happening?

: Tomorrow.

: Yikes. We'd better get ready then.

: Yeah. Get back to the base to prepare.
comb waves
You continue listening to the local channels. Nothing interesting is happening.
check basement
[I'll make an image later maybe.]
You enter the basement. It's dark, dank and damp and oh forget why there's spiders everywhere forget forget forget get me out of here fffffffffff.
After recollecting yourself you look around. There's lots and lots of crates, all stamped with a name, date and room number. Probably used as storage.
