MORE THAN FIVE HOURS by a determined crew comprise this episode, touching on the forms of unusual arthropods, and, eventually, on one genus in particular. The creature itself, in addition to various preparations anatomically derived and extracted, has been used anciently and by still-extant practitioners of the clandestine, darker sciences in performing pre-human spells of the most malevolent magical variety. Fortunately, we escaped the dreaded epiphenomena or side effects to the process, which might have doomed us and eventually caused the entire station to move from its site. Or... DID we? Duration (on this Plane): 418:00 minutes.
