>From TFA:

"Two hundred feet below, a remotely operated vehicle dubbed the
Sawfish is wielding a 54-inch-long chain saw. On the deck of the
barge, an operator sits inside a cramped, dimly lit control room made
from a shipping container. He's maneuvering the Sawfish with a
joystick, and his eyes are locked on a video feed of footage from
eight underwater cameras embedded in the contraption. A generator
delivers power to the sub through a 720-foot-long high-voltage cable
that also encloses a set of fiber-optic lines to transmit guidance
commands from the pilot."

So there's shades of Mechanomancy as well.

PS: Why is water a feminine element?
