I was under the impression they're always looking for extra and compatible 
energy sources that makes possible all replicating fleasible and not drain, 
but add to thier reserves when possible. This has been shown during thr 
series as they try to tap or seek it out. While I forget what they called it, 
it seems that at times reflecting on past damage they must use alot of 
replicating reserves and basically are always on the prowl to replenish thier 
reserves.  but hey, I'm guessing here -_-_-Bill
