But then you've got to figure out how to get the normal people that live in the seedlings down there and so on. It also reminded me of the fact that there is a massive amount of energy created by the decay of animals and plants on the sea floor. It's called being a Detritivore, but we are using the technology today to power Navy underwater sensor systems. But any sitting target is just that, so I started thinking about a massive organism that feeds like a whale. Organic thrusters to push it along and millions of tiny feeding mouths and gills to provide the standard products for the humans inside. Then it could just be a massive moving base that they could surface and have massive on board weapon systems to attack coastal defenses as needed. Do you think the vision is too far off from solving the problem? I'm sure the ship would use up several hundred tons of filtered food a day, but I figure that without human pollution the oceans of the Splicer Universe should be pretty much paradise of sea life. These ships would have no trouble at all living indefinitely in the Splicer Ocean, not to mention that they could hide out in the deep water when the Machine was on the war path.

So what does everyone think?
