Hey all, I am currently playing Unreal II, the sequel to Unreal, in which there is an entire planet covered with a single living organism. The planet is surrounded with metorite sized spores that this organism gives off. Now I found this to be very intriguing. A planet made of rock and dirt that has the entire surface covered by a non sentient creature. The surface is hard because of the creatures outer shell and it only reacts when there is a major disturbance on it surface. Anyone on the surface walking around would not even register on its nervous system and it would take a starship crash or nuclear explosion for it to react. In the game there is an artifact that the player is looking for which is located deep with in the beast. Once you remove the artifact then the creature reacts, suggesting a connection between the long buried item and the creature. Also, according to the story line the Mega corp that is terra forming the planet is slowly "killing" creature by introducing oxygen into the atmosphere. I thought this was cool concept and thought I would get the forums input, if any.
