Just like tapping a maple tree eh?, or...no never mind even that's to messed up for me.
During sugaring season around here I got to watch as a city-slicker was introduced to the fine art of maple sugaring...It's true about people not knowing where their food comes from, as this guy's initiation had to be one of the funniest RL conversations I've ever seen, and the icing on the cake was this guy trying to buy up all the available syrup in the park, and all foreseeable future production that season(and this was just a small 4h-style public operation, not a real moneymaking op). The guy had such a New York accent and mannerisms I was afraid the Manhattan organized crime cartels were going to try to muscle in and take over the maple syrup industry in Connecticut...

Yeah, well, using .50 caliber machine guns to both drive the taps and drive off syrup poachers is kinda dangerous down here where we have a higher population average per square mile, and a heavy weapon with a range of a mile or so can catch a town in the overkill.

Piffft that is small time up here in the Deep North we use mini Neutron-s missles to tap our trees, that's because the smallest tree is 1500 feet thick due to mutation from the Rain Of Death and is harder then starship hulls.

that didn't work out too well for the Colonial marines on LV426..
Morlocks are hairy and not resistant to fire like a certain silicon based xeno life forms with pressurized acid for blood. Flame throwers would be perfect. Create light which Morlocks don't like, causes pain even if it's a near miss. Wont burn through the hull or hurt your friends in MDC environmental armor.
Morlocks being devolved humans have a higher self preservation instinct than xenomorphs who from material don't seem to have an issue with pain or sacrifice IF it advances the colony.

Turn them ON. If they were on already, flamethrowers really wouldn't be effective, now, would they?

Has anyone considered the the morlock problem and the shortage of meat issue could be solved at the same time?
I know it is a little extreme to advocate the death penalty for stupidity...but can't we just remove all the warning labels and let nature take it's course???
Depends on what the morlocks are eating. If they're eating something the rest of the unmutated crew could safely eat, eating the morlocks is inefficient. If they're eating other people on the ship, it's even less efficient.

Not sure who's eating whom here. Anyhoo... I'm sure the morlocks taste great to stranded Zentraedi, who normally have to subsist on duct mold and Minmei dolls.

I'm sure the Zents would also enjoy an order of invid hash browns to go with their morlock bacon.

That is true and under the Invid occupation anyone caught making butter or growing garlic was grounds to have their homes or twons razed to the ground and the unforutents of said homes and towns being used by the Regis for turly horrfiying exsperiments.
