INameless returns to the surface. He'll check the diving bell for viewports or periscopes or other ways to examine the surroundings. He'll check in on Bargthor to see if he needs assistance.

You get Nameless to shove some furniture around, piling it up into a platform. Then you get him to stand on top of the platform and give you a boost up. With the platform and standing on nameless' shoulders, you manage to jump up and grab the edge to the upper room. You pull yourself up and in, and find a room with several low lying clamshell shaped stone structures, two of which are sitting open. Both of the open structures contain shiny metallic objects. One is shaped like a "+" and has no visible function. The other looks like it might be a covering of some sort; it looks like a flexible circular metal thing made by overlapping several strips of metal.
Look at the worms. Look for a head.
Think about the materials needed for explosive bullets that ignite on impact. Also, think about materials needed for a 4x telescopic sighted sniper-rifle that could fire said bullets.

Well, you now see enough to know that you can't see any heads here. They must be buried deeper in the ball.
Lets see. Sniper rifle is probably 3 xstructural 4-containing 2, Transmitting 3.

If it's possible to spend actions aiming or readying a blow to kill the Mole more easily when it gets possessed, yeah, do that. Nothing else to do aside from wait.

leaveJoshua on the bridge. Put on a diving suit and some weights and head down below and start exploring towards either the "queer little lights" or the bottom of the ball, whichever is closer. The bottom of the ball it is, as Ozarck pointed out

You plop your friend down in the bridge and head down. You grab a suit and a few of the weights and head down. You let yourself sink, crawling hand over hand down to the bottom of the ball and the torn up foundation below it. The foundation here is directly connected to the towers that extend up through the worm balls, or more that they're one and the same. They're carved from one solid and unbroken stone. From down here you can see the openings to several of these towers, though many are stuffed with worms and impassable.
"If anybody would be so kind as to tether that rope up there to something sturdy, so I can get back up, and so we can descend, that would just be peachy"
I examine the rest of the room. Then peer down the hole to see if anything looks interesting. If they lower a rope, I'll descend to the next level.

Description
wearing a nice suit and glasses, and keeping well groomed gives Jakie a rather slick appearance. She has a very no-nonsense personality, and speaks with a slight tunnel accent. She comes of as very cold, with calculating and emotionless eyes that remind one of a reptile.
Backstory
Jakie Rede was born in a little tunnel town right outside the city. Jakie didn't like the lack of opportunity, so she made her own, in the booze business. Being as how these "operations" weren't entirely legal, Jakie learned how to protect her interests when the need arose, and the need arose often. But, getting too greedy, Jakie lost control of her turf, was muscled out and forced to skip town. Now, down on her luck, she wants to explore, see the world, and maybe find a nice place to set up a new "operation"
Nameless throws you a rope on the way, but then he builds a platform over the hole you used to get in here so...swings and roundabouts.
The rest of the room is fairly bare, but its been badly scraped up by the passage of the worm. There's hints of painting on the walls but its too scuffed to make out the details. As per heading down, what are you gonna tie the rope to?
"Mhouh."
Apparently there are lights down in the water somewhere? That's what Radio is saying. Go look at those if they exist. And also tell me what they are.

You drift down, away from the bore and toward the distant lights. But you don't get more than 100 feet beneath the water before the sea beasts start materializing. The one that decides you look tasty resembles nothing much more than a bunch of glowing balls with interconnected lines of light.
"How about we split up a little and try to learn more about these creatures and this structure before we try to dive deeper, or inform our compatriots of what we found? For example, maybe you could go check out those queer little lights down there in the water?"
Take a closer look at the shiny thing Rede just found. What is it, how is it used?
Then try to learn more about the structure these worms are coiling around. Where does it come from? Who did it belong to? How did it end up like this?

You drift down and try to get a good look at the object he found. You poke at it and draw some info out. Its a tool, used to control something. But you're not sure what.
You touch the tower. It came from below, with the lights. These things tore it out. But that was a while ago. Hard to tell how long. Time gets hazy over distances. You see the creatures dipicted in the paintings here, strange starfish-root creatures, swimming between floors.
