Mechanical Spider

Field Notes
The malware of our age! These mechanical parasites were probably lurking on the ship before the crash. Pirates will use these bugs to collect especially valuable cargo, redirect transmission signals, or even hijack ships. Spiders can be programmed with all kinds of malicious objectives.

In general they are quite difficult to find and eradicate on large vessels, but now that they're loose they seem to be able to operate outside their software. They have retained their defense capabilities, and are risky to engage. Though, I wonder, how long will they continue to run without access to an electrical grid?
