 Darwol 

Vessbuk gives you a withering look; this is the first time he's actually taken a good look at you,

"You really have no idea where you are don't you? That or you're just pretending. Gaelog, tell it."

Gaelog starts talking,

"It's a psychological diesease, put in place by the Domovoi... Huff... I guess you don't know what the Domovoi is either? Ever wondered why that gas giant is glowing? The inside has being converted into a giant computer; we don't know how long it's been there, but the waste heat from its running has started to heat up the planet. That's the Domovoi. A rogue artificial intelligence.

It's started making people; totally convincing people made to blend in, but they're infected. Their minds are full of views and ideas to the Domovoi's design and, call it what you want - passive propaganda, the power of suggestion, peer pressure, we call it social engineering - but some people down in the tunnels are actually starting to like the Domovoi; the whole thing's becoming more acceptible.

I don't know about everybody else, but I don't want to become the willing slave of some illegal superintelligence!"

In answer to your comment, Chourheeg gives what sounds like a small belch,

"You went into a cave and thought it was the tunnels?! We'll show you the tunnels. Come!"

 Fishmeal 

You couldn't disable the nanodefences with your laser because they are... well... nano-scale. The environmental controls in this module basically consist of a highly sophisticated air conditioner.

You hear an explosion off in the far distance. It sounds like it must have come from many kilometres away.
