Amazing how all of this behavior is encoded in the genes. Makes one wonder how this could have come about through random mutations.

We won’t be in any danger until they start putting spider genes into mammals.

Oh, wait ...

Right.. I’ll be packing the megaspider emergency kit.
You work on the evac plans.
Meet you on the hangar deck in few minutes.

Evacuation won’t be required, nor would it be useful.

I plan to take the spider-bots along if we have to evacuate.

.

The only precaution needed will be to set the imaging scanners on our personal detection equipment to laser-return only. That will defeat any false detection images. I’ve also set mine to multi-spectral laser emission just to be sure.

Consider it art; “Self-portrait in Silk”.
