That is because I can be derpy at times, and forget to put things inside my head onto digital paper.
My bad. By all means, continue to poke holes where important.]

You consider Our options for some time. In the end, it boils down to a choice - do You sacrifice a few of Us in the future in exchange for technology now, or sacrifice resources for Us now? You briefly consider only getting the most valuable parts, but when it comes down to it, it is better to do one thing well than two things poorly. Unable to decide, You shoot a rock, then flip it in the air. You consider the burned side to represent the ship and the clean side the food. The rock lands with the burned side up, and You decide that you currently have enough Eggs to replace Our losses.
You administer a dose of Royal Jelly to the Repair Drone, focusing on its legs, eyes, and antennae. The procedure works well - guided by Your mind and will, the Repair Drone shifts and grows to form true-hands, longer and more delicate antennae, and becomes considerably more durable and flexible. You order all of Us to scour the ship, with the exception of a security patrol.
Engineering produces the best results, with Spare Parts for just about everything aboard the ship, and quite a large amount of Wiring, Diagnostic Computers, a single Molecular Fabrication Device, and a Munition Fabrication Device. The most important find in the Sector, however, is a large Battery and schematics for smaller-scale batteries. Unfortunately, the Missiles aboard are far too weathered and broken to be of use. You disarm them anyway to be safe, and salvage a single working Kinetic Energy warhead.
Med/Sci is a complete mess. You find a few Dead Flowers of Life, various decomposed Larvae, the leg of a Biped Test Subject and a box containing 10 Units of Synthetic Food. Upon closer inspection, you find that all but 3 units have spoiled. You call for a break to feed Us, and distribute the food among Yourself, the Nurse, and ten of the Drones. The Warriors consume all but two dead Flowers of Life.
Operations provides you with several Telemetry Computers, Display Panels, lots of Wiring, and a single Targeting Computer, as well as various Spare Computer Parts.
Nothing of value is to be found in the Cargo. Perhaps yesterday, there would have been, but right now, there is nothing but scrap.
You retrieve a set of Replacement Parts for the Fusion Reactor from Propulsion, and a small amount of Ice left over. Lastly, you strip the Hull and Superstructure completely down to nothing, gaining several sets of Construction Materials, Armor Plating, and lots and lots of Scrap Plastic, Scrap Metal, and some Thermal Insulation.
Your Flying Warrior senses an incoming Flying Mechanical Spy Drone of Biped origin, and climbs to the top of its flight ceiling as your Warriors sit completely still under the cover of the Ship. You are well aware that given enough time, the MSD will detect Us one way or the other, and decide to solve the problem. As the drone circles the ship, You possess our Flying Warrior and fire a quick Pulse Burst at the MSD; the first two shots send it into an uncontrolled spiral to the ground, and the third misses for obvious reasons. It shatters on the ground below, and Our warriors collect it for study.

[OOC Note: You have NO IDEA this is happening.]
"What the HELL was that?"
"Micrometeor came down and hit it. Shit happens. Better get on the paperwork, the Chief will have your ass if you don't."
"What about the ship?"
"Write it off as a loss. I will answer for it. It's too far away to get anything but scrap metal. God only knows we don't need it."
"...Your neck, not mine. Sir."

You assume that We have, at the very least, aroused suspicion. You wait for several minutes, but when no explosions come forth from the sky, You are reasonably certain that We were not detected. You are fortunate in that you have an hour before Nightfall, and spend the rest of the time improving the Agricultural Earthworks before retreating underground for the night.
