Just a couple plot questions... [spoilers]

About Red and Eminiss:

Spoiler below!

I always assumed that Red had suffered the same fate as Philip did later. He had been infected, but just like Philip later, he overcome the nightmare without being consumed and thus was never connected to the hive mind. I guess maybe he had his own version of Clarence?

I guess Dr Eminiss was also like this. Only much later after being infected for quite awhile, he succumbed to his version of Clarence?

Just some speculation!
