You decide that taking the extra time to go through the wreckage before the fire and environment degrade any further technology is Our best chance of surviving. The Pits are only a few hours away, which should leave plenty of time to establish a temporary Queen's Chamber to take refuge in.
You, the NavDrones, and half the T-Caste Drones set out to the Bridge, while the Nurse and the remaining T-Castes set out to explore Med/Sci. Your initial foray into the Bridge reveals that the sensory/detection computers are shot to hell and back, although You are able to recover functional maps of the area, navigational computers, several Environmental Protection Suits, and an intact Diagnostic Computer. The Nurse and their assistants in Med/Sci are considerably more lucky than Yourself and the Bridge Crew, finding a fully functional Biorecycler, a well-cultured Bacteria Vat, the parts needed to repair the Nursery and Stasis Chamber, and additional Xenoflora Samples. Unfortunately, the additional Hydroponic Systems are destroyed beyond repair, as well as the carefully cultivated Flower samples.
All remaining Drones are sent to the Cargo Bay to suppress the fire and retrieve the valuable contents within. The fire destroyed a full third of the cargo, although the Elemental Supplies and a small collection of Soldier-Sized Energy Weapons and backup batteries are salvaged.
After the initial search, the search continues in Engineering and Propulsion, with the non-vital Drones going through the Hive. Engineering provides a large amount of Spare Universal Parts, a Miniature Refinery, and a Reinforced Automation Database. Propulsion provides several barrels of Refined Fuel and a single working Internal Combustion Engine. Lastly, the Hivequarters reveal a Wounded L2 Heavy Soldier (S-Caste) and various Corpses.
While this occurs, most Soldiers are assigned to carefully remove the armor plating in sections (with a total of 8 Armor Plates), while the two surviving Grubs are inserted into the Maintenance Tunnels with explicit orders to focus their consumption on rare or useful metals. By the time the entire salvage is completed, they have recovered some Titanium, Copper, Gold, and various Superalloys. The Hive is loaded up, and the scuttling charges are secured, covered from dust, and armed to detonate on a remote signal.
Within hours, the Last Colony has arrived in the Rimless Pits; You quickly dig into the smaller of the Pits and dig out an Oversized Queen's Chamber before Night falls.
