OOC: Happy for anyone to add an anomaly here if they would like to. Either one of your own, or feel free to take one from the catalogue :)

Luna smiled almost wickedly ” Well we have to see pants spider first he is the cutest” she said. She looked to Durheim for his opinion and waghted incase he wanted to take the lead.

“Cutest?” Cobb protested. “That might be giving the…thing a little too much credit there, Ensign Luna.”
He shook his head as a barely disguised shiver ran down his own spine at the thought of the arachnid-like anomaly.

” your not the one that had it escape and follow you around the ship” Luna said giggling.

“Hmmm, Pants Spider is fairly harmless; or at least it certainly appears to be so far. I think that would make an excellent first stop.” Sidling over to the captain, Durheim asked in a quiet voice “Mr. Cobb; what would you like Mr. Gill to see today? The dangerous and misleading, the murderous, or something else entirely?”

“I must confess, Mr Durheim,” Zachariah leaned in to speak in confidential whisper, “that my own initial meeting with the lad was doubtless unsettling enough. But I was sure to fetch him a new tunic before the substance burned through to his skin!”
Further explanation was shrugged away as if the entire sentence was commonplace, Cob’s demeanor that of a man discussing naught more thrilling than lunch.

” you two know I can hear you right… I’ll have to ask Gill about that story later captain” She said still smiling.

“As for this little excursion,” he continued after a time, “I would recommend we avoid the outright murderous. I have no desire to send the lad screaming for the nearest shore. But he is here now so he might as well learn the reality of this ship. And of the things that dwell within.”

OOC: Pasting Durheim back in…

Durheim nodded, contemplating the captain’s words.

Gil frowned. “What the hell is a pants spider?”

Approaching the fortified doorway, Cobb entered his personal code followed by a scan of his left thumb, then stepped back for Luna to enter her own. As he waited, he turned once more to Gil.
“A pants spider is…” He laughed, then winked at his companions. “Well, perhaps it will be easier to show you. Ensign Luna, lead the way, if you will?”

  • Captain Zachariah Cobb

After Luna had entered her code she led them into the containment deck and quietly to the containment unit that held pants spider. She smiled at the anomaly as she reached up and pulled one of the fluffy down feather that lay just beneath her adult fethers. It was small perfect size for the anomaly. She set the fether near the containment unit so that one of the scientists could give it to him later. ” I promise him one of my down fethers, this by the way is pants spider and yes he is the cutest anomaly we have the others are tarifiying in there own way, if you did not catch it eitherly I have been stocked by this little stinker as have a few others” Luna exsplaned.

Ladies and gentleman we return to the continuing adventures of Pants Spider! We join our arachnid friend and his gang of pals as he’s visiting for the day when—gadzooks!---- There are visitors! Upon hearing the young lad exclaiming that he doesn’t know what a pants spider is the adorable little fella wiggles his way up to the edge of the containment unit and blinks as the communications systems crackle and a grainy jingle begins with a crackly voice that is a little too tinny starts in to sing “My friend my friend let me introduce you to the Pants Spider! The greatest little guy that ever has been! He’ll hug ya tight, he’ll hug ya strong. He’s the Paaaaaaaaaaaaaants Spider!” The comms returned to their quiet nature as the enclosure was now empty, Pants Spider was no where to be found! But, just wait, I hear you asking where he went? Well I’ll tell ya...........Tune in next time!

OOC: Pasting Durheim back in…

Durheim turned to Gil; sighing in resignation. “This… is the Pants Spider. It is comparatively quite harmless; though it can be quite startling to the unprepared. We’ve spent… well, an inordinate time trying to design a containment unit for it, to no prevail. It seems to simply… appear where it desires; with little warning beyond it’s hijacking of the comms system. Amusingly, there does not need to be a comms system present in the area for it to announce itself; yet another interesting facet of this being.”

Gil had felt somewhat concerned as they reached the containment unit for this “pants spider” and upon seeing the anomaly and having it sing at him had put Gil in a rather perturbed mood. Only further exacerbated by the fact that the anomaly was now no longer in its enclosure. However, Gil was not one to shy away from creepy crawlies… his mom was a big bug after all… and his life on a desolate world used as a game preserve meant he’d encountered a number of unsavory multi-legged/multi-eyed/multi-headed creatures. So he just stood still and waited for the pants spider to make itself known. All the while the song it had sung on the comms system was now firmly lodged in his brain and refused to leave.

Luna shook her head. ” Pants Spider I brought you the fether I promised you now come out please I’ll sing with you again” Luna said with a smile.
Ensign Luna

The captain had retreated to the rear of the group and, as the spider disappeared, had grown decidedly anxious. Twitchy, even. In an awkwardly repetitive fashion he would ruffle his own hair, pass a hand across the back of his neck, shake out the front of his tunic…
“We…ah…should we be wearing ear protection for when the bloody thing starts to sing?” Eyes darted from Durheim to Luna and then onto the unnervingly-calm Gil. “Does anyone see where the bloody thing went to?”

  • Captain Zachariah Cobb

Without bothering to turn around, Durheim waved a hand in Cobb’s general direction, casually dismissing his concerns. “Not unless the noise disturbs you, Mr. Cobb. Our research suggests that as… odd as the music is, it is not something to be concerned about. All areas requiring hearing protection are clearly marked, after all; as it is with visual and other dangers.”

He made a brief effort to look for the Pants Spider, before giving up - if the odd anomaly didn’t want to be found, then it would not be found - until it announced itself. “You do realize, Mr Cobb, that the Pants Spider is… ‘friendly’, yes? As in, it will seek to assuage your fears; typically through jaunty tunes and… well, hugs.” Jonathan turned and looked at Cobb directly. “We have a suspicion that it can detect, and may in fact be attracted to fear…” Durheim’s eyes fairly glowed behind the thick goggles; as the idea of running a new test settled in his mind.
