Ancient Grudge

(Technological colonization
One discovery was a verdant planet inhabited mostly
By giant spiders, insects, and benthic creatures
Only few signs of human life)

Strands of web reach far beyond the lair to alert the approach of prey
Ship's descent onto a sylvan mountaintop... but to their dismay
Everything it sees it considers food, a forest-wide network not easy to elude
Defense Grid activate, surveying the woods elaborate
Crew now detects acid from the web, a disastrous mental misstep
Prey pursued, prey subdued
None survive, bodies dissolve
The few behind, burning with anger
Engine overloaded, using its power to strengthen the grid
Communication with home has been severed and years grind away
Deconstructed ship
Main bridge became a crypt
Remaining parts forged into a steel spider
With the help of native conjurers
Treetop village in tandem with the rhythm of the wild
The Arachnoid trawls the planet seeking to compile
Signs of life from the cosmos
Signals emit from Servym's Console... intruder alarm!
Behold a light in the sky, and dusty wings foreign to the eye
Natives of this world alert descendants
But what they seek is vengeance
Crash, webs lash
Fear, Servym is here
We watch... the spiders weave... we haunt... you cannot leave
Flashback to our ancestors, left for dead, distress signals severed
Must avenge the fallen and abandoned, crawling steel has you surrounded
Reap the past everlast
