Toby considers everything that has been going on. He considers the visions people are seeing, but that others apparently cannot. He considers why Elen can see an eye on the man's stomach when he himself, and everyone else apparently, cannot. He comes to the conclusion that something is causing mass erratic hallucinations among the team. The nature of these hallucinations seem somewhat connected so there is obviously a connecting theme between them, but whether that means they have some truth to them or that it simple effects people similarly, he cannot imagine.

try to see if there is a way to know what button he pressed, (does it glow?) if so, go to that floor, if not go down one level and search for him
While there is no nice display of what floor the elevator is on, the control panel on this level does have light up buttons and one is still lit up. It also has blood on it, which is as good an indicator, if not better. The man is headed for the lowest floor that elevator can reach, which isn't the same as the crew elevator.

The man stands utterly still as Elen fires a barrage of rounds at him, shooting until her gun clicks empty. One round blows his earlobe off but he doesn't show any recognition of that fact, he simply continues to stare off at some point far FAR beyond.
[1]
Some point...behind Elen. With her gun empty, Elen turns slowly to look at what is behind her. In total silence something is crawling up through the floor on long spider legs. When the body slides out of the floor she is quite literally inside it, wet alien organs flow around her and her head bobs into a stomach filled with screaming misshapen and damaged humans. She feels their fingers cling to her face.
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure nobody can receive Yagyu's message, assuming he sent it via the computing cube, because nobody else has one.
((Couldn't the shuttle computer read it?))
Interrupt the elevator's descent. Hit the emergency stop if possible. Use my keycards if needed. Try not to get in any line of fire though, don't try it if I'd block the shot of any teammates.

The emergency stop is a simple big red button on the control panel and Yagyu slams his fist into it with what might be a bit overzealous force. The elevator grinds to a halt almost instantly and red emergency lights start flashing down the length of the shaft. The elevator is stuck somewhere between this level and the next, living quarters area.
Could I fly the shuttle down the cargo lift in case the team needs a quick rescue?
Hmm. Are the ships unlocked? Any of their doors open? Approach one of the ships, preferably one that has its door open (which means it was exposed to vacuum) and is one of the ships that was sent to Earth. Try to boot up its computer system and check for any sort of black box recording or similar. Maybe there will be clues as to what happened there.
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure nobody can receive Yagyu's message, assuming he sent it via the computing cube, because nobody else has one.
Name: Pathos
Physical Description: A literal crash test dummy.
Background: Delusions of grandeur. Took this job as a way to rapidly advance the ranks and see cool things. And because it would give him plenty of opportunities to set things on fire without his superiors being close enough to yell at him. Lost his original body in a freak shuttle accident.

Pathos considers his own questions.
Yes, he thinks he could fly the shuttle down...though there would be a heck of a lot of exhaust being shot straight downward so...probably not best to do it if there are people on the elevator itself.
He checks the ships in the hanger. They're all unlocked and none are open, but a cross reference with the gate logs shows the last one to go through and come back. [4]
There are internal recordings of the ship during its flight, though it seems only to record the ship's last flight, not the flight to earth, just the one back. He listens through it. A lot of it is very mundane, but the telling parts are the pilot and some second person's conversation. They are none too happy to be going back to the outpost and talk about the increased riots on lower levels and the tougher security crackdowns, including several deaths. They compare the colony to a sinking ship and wonder how long it will be till OMNITECH remote locks their gate and seals the colony. They are seemingly not very aware of what is going on on the lower levels or the exact purpose of the outpost, but do state that certain things about the colony make them think that this sort of collapse and then possibly resettlement was the plan the whole time.
