Recognizing his [[Warrior Caste]] would be incensed with how he acquired the data in an un-Clanlike fashion, but gambling that supplying the still desperately needed Omni technology would mitigate this dishonor, Patkirk secretly initiated development of what he would proudly name the ''Sun Spider''. Unfortunately, without the full manufacturing and scientific might of Clan Goliath Scorpion, the prototype was heavily flawed, most notably requiring far longer than average to swap out its OmniPods. When the Scorpion warriors finally acquired salvageable OmniMechs during an honorable raid against [[Clan Fire Mandrill]]'s [[Kindraa Payne]], a humiliated Patkirk quietly buried the ''Sun Spider'' to focus on reverse engineering new Scorpion machines.<ref name=MWO-SNS-Lore/>
