Spiders in the air ducts of Platform One.
A Metal Spider, commonly called a Spider, is a small robot used for sabotage. They aren't that dangerous by themselves, but can overtake a person in large numbers.
A Spider's body is made of two silver saucers: four legs and a head. The legs are long and can recoil when the Spider is being held in hand. At the end of each leg is a small cutter, allowing the Spider to open vents and airducts. The head has a single red eye that can emit a beam of light to scan objects.
When they have located a target, the Spider will self-destruct.
Noteable Uses[]
- In 5.5/Apple/26, the Lady Cassandra used Spiders in her plot to hold the guests of Platform One hostage. The Adherents of the Repeated Meme gave out the Spiders(held within a silver sphere) as gifts to the guests. The Spiders managed to infiltrate the systems of the platform and destroyed the station's sun filters. The Spiders managed to kill Raffalo and the Steward.
- In 5,000,000,023, Lady Cassandra used them again, but for spying. She had Spiders spread throughout the hospital run by the Sisters of Plenitude, trying to find out the Sisterhood's secret.
