They might be out fighting these ants on different parts of the island when this happens, but it's just a given part of their working synergy that Yzak is provided with frequent status updates from wherever Dearka happens to be operating independently. They keep in touch on these things, stay in communication and watch each other's backs, even when they're not literally fighting side by side.
That's why right after this happens, Yzak gets a message in the clipped, very serious and very focused manner of typing that Dearka only ever uses when he's on the job and really in the zone:]
SOS received from kuzunoha14
Got a bad feeling about this. Heading to investigate.
[ And even despite the distance between them on this island, Yzak knows that if one of them needs the other, they can gun it and be somewhere in a matter of minutes. Which is in part whey they split up, because these ants, while dangerous if allowed to swarm in numbers, can be taken out easily enough by a mobile suit. It makes sense to cover more ground separately and finish the job quicker - the danger level decidedly low where the two of them are concerned.
As for the others...
Well, that's the assumption when he gets the message. That someone's unluckily stumbled across too many of them and couldn't take them all out in time. ]
From Raidou?
[ He knows that username. He also knows, after a recent exchange with the guy, that he's really god damned stubbornly opposed when it comes to taking care of himself. So it's just as concerning to Yzak to get this message - especially if Raidou is asking for help which he seems to never want to do. (why are so many people on this team LIKE THIS,) Dread creeps up inside of him while he checks those coordinates. It's close.
Hopefully close enough. ]
Focus on getting to him. I'll check the perimeter and clear any obstructions, barring the need for further backup.
[ Because he knows Dearka will keep him updated, one way or the other. ]

He's just flying back towards Kyoto, so he can be a little more verbose in his messages now:]
Got him. He's in real rough shape though. Not from ants, from... I don't know. SOMETHING clobbered the shit out of him.
I'm getting him back to Dr. Spim ASAP.

But, understood. There are still a few swarms in this area. I'll clear them out and then catch up to you.
