Blackarachnia worked diligently, trying to turn her companion's limbs into a signal beacon. Said companion used the one arm he still had to lift his head to be eye level with the spider, despite being behind her.
''Give back Wazpinator legz and armz.''
''Not yet...''
''Wazpinator hear Spider-lady talk to Hero-bot, Wazpinator know Spider-lady lie.''
''Yes, fine, I lied!'' she yelled, then added in a softer voice ''But not to you, to them.''
''Why?'' asked the broken wasp.
''I have my reasons,'' stated the femme as she turned herself to face the large bug as she worked. There was a momentary silence as she fiddled with one of his smaller arms, arks of electricity sparking all the while.
''When Wazpinator get back armz and legz?'' the mech asked, much calmer than when he demanded before.
''If we're lucky, in about an orbital cycle.''
''Wazpinator have to wait whole orbital cycle?!'' the green bug whined.
''That's the earliest I can find out if the signal beacon is working. It might take longer...'' Blackarachnia used some webbing to reattach his head to his body. ''There, now stop complaining.'' She was silent until she remembered something. ''I had those creatures get some things we could use as fuel,'' she added, pointing to some large, green, bowl shaped leaves filled with a pink liquid plus yellow and red fruits. The spider then continued to tinker with the arm, hoping to make something that could get them off this planet. She was sure it wasn't Earth, admittidly it had some of the same lifeforms, but she was positive they were not that size.
