Description
Cetaceans have long been used by military outfits, trained for marine mine clearance, reconnaissance, and even attack roles. However their willful, individualistic personalities caused severe problems. Escapees were common, which represented an extremely expensive loss in both resources and time, for their trainers. The J8 program solved this issue with heavily genetically modified Belugas featuring post-growth expansive mechanical grafting which fitted them to be overseen by a human pilot.Key Features:
Opened canopy exposes cockpit.
Legs mounted on underbelly allow cyborg to crawl along the seabottom and minimize water disruption for the sake of covert movement.
Manipulator arms can be controlled by pilot for precise tasks (repairs, sabotage, etc).
Feed tubes supply a space efficient, dehydrated cocktail to nourish the remaining biological elements of the cyborg.
Synthetic fin extensions can unfurl or contract depending on the need for speed or maneuverability.

The addition of the shrimp-like legs and a cockpit makes for a very interesting bio-mechanical beast. Just simply amazing.

I kind of feel like, at that level of mechanical integration and genetic fabrication, involving an actual whale is kind of unnecessary.

My first impression was a xenomorph that hatched from a whale, but the text made things clear. Still cool.

Wow, humans are the real monsters in this universe, I suspect in this universe I would get executed for aiding cetacean rebels, but I would aid them certainly.
