Dialogue
 * "You are a sight for sore eyes, bookah! Arachni's Haunt is home to powerful veins of energy we need in our defenses against the Destroyers. We've been fighting an unending battle against the matriarchs and are in need of some reinforcements. These spiders lay large egg sacs and spun webs that no normal fire can burn through. They've enslaved other nasty beasts to help protect their brood. Mamp developed a super-heated staff capable of doing the job. I'd give you one, but the last troops that went in took the remaining ones. I'm sure you'll find what you need on their bodies..."

Trivia

 * The quest has references to the movie, Aliens, the second movie of the Alien series:
 * The "Accept" and "Reject" options and the quest-giver's name is an obvious reference to the movie Aliens. Corporal Hicks (the highest ranking military personnel after their lieutenant was knocked unconscious) agreed with Ripley that they should "take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure". Ripley also said "And just how long after we're declared overdue can we expect a rescue?", after the first dropship crashed and damaged the main power generator.
 * You lead three Asura named Commander Hixx, Hudd, and Vask who derive their names from the Aliens characters Hicks, Hudson, and Vasquez.
 * The quest requires burning spider eggs. This relates to the movie's plot when Ripley burned down the Xenomorph eggs with a flame thrower to enrage the queen alien.
