Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] A colony ship with 5000 human passengers in stasis is heavily damaged in a meteor shower. While the onboard computer does not have the raw materials needed for repairs, it calculates that it has a very large amount of organic matter and a genetics lab. A solution path is now being executed... by lordhelmos
Ooh, I like this one. I'm not sure where to start, but I'm thinking that >!we're going to "ethically" clone the passengers, aging them extremely fast for cellular growth, and use the new bodies and their sturdier tissues as material for ship parts. The AI may be oblivious enough that the passengers wait up to see flesh, skin, beating muscles, and faces adorning the walls. After ensuring the structural integrity of the ship, the AI will use the softer tissues and organs as fertilizer to regrow the crops that were meant to feed the passengers. I guess that's not really important, but the main point is the shock value of the passengers waking up to a ship made of human body parts!<.
