Angry alarms bathed the decepticon ship in a pulsating flood of red lights. The ship, which was usually silent as a grave, was alive with the sound of blaring sirens as it began its descent towards Earth. Airachnid had set course for the planet, but she hadn’t planned on crash landing there. Though Airachnid was puzzled about the crash, troubleshooting would have to wait till later. She turned away from the specimen she was observing and bunched up her robotic legs like an insect’s abdomen. She then started scurrying on the spider legs which were splayed on her back, to a console. She maneuvered the ship, or at least tried to, as the ship entered Earth’s atmosphere. The alarms became louder and warned to become even louder, till Airachnid shot a web over the alarm switch with a displeased grunt.

The crash rattled the ship and many tall containers threatened to tip over, but soon it was all over. Airachnid placed a hand on her head as she got up. She looked around for whatever had been damaged. The ship appeared to be more or less intact, and she felt glad that her ship could take a punch. Well, it was decepticon engineering afterall, she thought to herself; and a content expression appeared on her face. However, the expression soon fell as she noticed an energon leak from a port. Before stepping outside, Airachnid took a look at the ship’s scans. The ship had detected several autobot and decepticon signals and these were only the uncloaked ones. She decided that reuniting with her kind could wait.
 Exploring the planet that she had landed on and setting up traps for anyone who had noticed her crash required her immediate attention.
