[The year is 3030. You are stranded on an unknown planet some distance from Earth. Not much is known about this planet except for one thing: it is entirely inhabited by giant insects and arachnids.]

You are currently in a cave, equipped with only a dim flashlight and a small pistol-like blaster. You hear chittering noises as you get into the narrower parts of the cave, and soon, out comes a giant scorpion, its stinger looking as sharp and venomous as most. What do you do?
