I don't think this would work. On the other hand, volcanoes and perhaps

crust and the like might produce the heat and perhaps access to elements th= at

squids-in-space story believable, the science that puts them into space mus= t be
somehow believable. More than likely, if a Federation crew ever meets up
w= ith a ship
of squids, those squids might be semiaquatic, equipped for life both in and=
out of the
water. By being on land, they could develop technology, while they would d= o things
like mate or reproduce in the water. This could be the way I would go if I=
ever come
