Apologies for the lateness of this response! Law and Alphys are working on this and we've been in touch with Alphys' player on the progress of such a plot.
It would be possible to create and administer a Null virus, to infect the null with god emotions or something else altogether- however, [Name] would likely play a pivotal role in this, as from our observation thusfar it seems that not many characters interested in this plot have the required extensive coding skills to spearhead something like this on their own. [Name] will be able to help in this regard, as well as to administer the virus if brought to the Null hub- however, in doing so, it would be destroyed by the Null firewall (which, of course, would come as some sort of surprise- it could be a known risk going in but [Name] would anticipate living through it).
There is unfortunately no way to manipulate the Null to create a shield capable of repelling the god virus- since the issue comes from the composition of energy from the gods themselves, one would have to look into the gods for that and ultimately, taking the gods apart in a way that would prevent them from affecting the Null would be akin to killing them.
However, there is definitely a possibility of distracting the Null, splitting their forces, or using their communications to fight them on better terrain. [Name] is capable of using the Null frequency and codes to do so- or they can teach someone else the necessary statements. However, using the communications array to draw the Null into a trap would almost certainly lead to some sort of retaliation and likely the Null shutting down this particular array. That doesn't necessarily mean that you cannot proceed with the infection plot, however- just that you'd need to find another array on a different planet.
