Seedlings

The best thing to do is look at the root system of a tree and the imagine that the roots and nodules within it are hollow, allowing for human habitation.

I'm referring to an adult Seedling. I have no idea what an actual Seedling "seed" looks like or how big it would be. At the minimum, I would assume that it was at least the size of an 18-wheeler and that it would take many, many years of gestation before it would be viable.

it might be left up to the GM as to what the Actual Seedling *seeds* appear like.

possiblities i've seen on here so far include :

Mushroom-like-ness...
Just a Massive Rootsystem with a Massive underground core/stump-like center where most are...
Jellyfish/Barricles with a massive rootsystem....

heck they might be a non-magical cousin to the millium trees even, who knows..

this is giving me some good ideas.

a mobile seedling kinda like a huge underwater sub...*seaquest*-like.
Most of the time it uses its proplusion tenticles to latch onto underwater cliffs/ect....but when it moves it moves slowly towards the surface to get its Splicers within range of the surface.

or like the SWep1-PhantomMenice Gungen City Just below the light areas of the ocean. With Bio-Force Fields to keep out the water, while providing light within at the same time.

Which idea sounds better ??

It sounds like the Kraken.

kinda, but picture it the size of B5 ... 5 miles long, 1/2 mile wide. A Mobile Station/Base.

Oh. That would be bigger then, wouldn't it :-D

Kind of like the city in The Abyss, except organic tech instead of water tech.
