===Serving at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, Sol===
Spider’s time back in Sol System was not the peaceful time he thought it would be. Between his duties overseeing all the Combat Engineering squads tasked to Utopia (and there were many) and his professors duties which had been split between Parris Island and San Francisco, he rarely had more then a few free moments to himself. He caught most of the little sleep he did manage on inner-system transports for his thrice-weekly trips back and forth from Mars to Earth. 

There was a full Regiment of Marines stationed at Utopia Planitia, along with a nearly unheard of 7 Combat Engineering Squads, due to the highly important nature of the Center as a Shipyard, a backup Strategic Operations Center, and the command base for the Mars Defense Perimeter. His greatest achievement as the Chief Combat Engineer was to reorganize the command structure of the Combat Engineers and improve their reaction times. He had little time to do else, though he had many more plans which he would have implemented had he been stationed there for more then the year he had. 

The rest of his time he spent teaching. He taught squad and mid-sized battle-group tactics at the War College, and served as a guest speaker for several other instructors over a myriad of practical subjects. He taught hand-to-hand combat, tactics under fire and explosive ordinance disposal to CE presumptives at Parris Island. 

Though busy, it was a satisfying time for Spider, and he would have stayed for longer had an emergency not popped up. He, his squad and 4 other squads were ordered to join the USS Spectre with Spider as the temporary Marine Commanding Officer with only 12 hours notice. The Spectre, part of the 52nd Exploratory Fleet, had just finished repairs and upgrades at Utopia Planitia and was available for immediate embarkation.
