===Serving Onboard USS Boudicca===
Spider was assigned to the USS Boudicca, a ship which he’d watched out a port-hole since his arrival, after a particularly long and grueling patrol mission on a Marine Stallion. He found out later that he had been assigned as Marine Executive Officer and Chief Combat Engineering of ‘Wolfpack’, the 1st Boudicca Company, on the word of his former friend and superior Major Eva Straton.

Both were of the same mind about the war, and Spider took to his job of training the Marines to fight their own forces with deadly earnest. That training came in handy almost immediately after the Boudicca was summoned to the site of a nearly destroyed civilian ship. Straton and Spider both beamed over to the nearly-destroyed hulk and thus were the first to encounter the energy loving machines that have since been dubbed ‘psi-ders’. A very rough fight ensued on the civilian ship in which many Marines lost their lives when their suits were ruptured in open space, or the psi-ders special arm zapped them and made them mindless vegetables. 

The Marines were beamed over after a good hours battle, and they were immediately thrown into yet another fight as many hundreds of the psi-ders had been beamed onto the Boudicca. 

The psi-ders were only destroyed after the most powerful of the telepaths on the ship formed a ‘trap’ for them in a three-way corridor with Spider and his marines waiting in the wings to cut them off. It was a bloody end, but the ship survived. 

As Spider is an engineer, he and his Combat Engineers were temporarily tasked to the Engineering department to repair the massive damage done throughout the ship after the battle, until such time as they could get the ship into a dry-dock for refit. Even during refit the Combat Engineers maintained engineering duty as Starbase Geneva was short-staffed and every engineer was worth their weight in gold.

The next few months were relatively quiet on the Boudicca, despite numerous alerts, but the Marines have not been idle. Spider provided security and was one of the first personnel involved with the natives during their resupply mission. He was also instrumental in finding defenses against the advanced technology used by the ‘warlocks’ against the Boudicca’s crew, and was also involved in the rescue effort to take back two of their abducted crew, including their Chief Science Officer.

With the bombing of his home, Andoria, Spider now has a very personal reason to be in this war and he is driving the Marines hard in training in preparation The Combat Engineers are already planning to play their deadly games with the coming of their current ‘telepath’ mission, so who knows what will happen.
