Been reading and getting details on the spider ship. They use ants instead of computers and they had a run in from what seems to be the octopus guys that were made from the human crew in the past

Started the new part of the book and this starts by re introducing and giving some recap on the Portiids (spiders). They are in a space ship aswell and Avrana Kern (Queen) from the last book, is mostly robotic and has developed technologies to attempt to talk to humans better. The whole story including where it’s it seems to take place thousands of years in the future

Pages 34-63: Disra Senkovi is left on the Aegean with limited power while dealing with his genetically enhanced octopuses messing things up and about à third ended up dead. Baltiel is the mission captain and is on the planet when his crews suits stop working and they have to work through their heavy suits having no power while realizing they were somehow attacked by something to do with the war back on earth

Pretty good, short intro to some characters and general situation about them arriving and waking up at the two planets and terraforming one and how people are just cranky
