Maybe order the drone to collect samples nearby and change research to some kind of ground based harvester.  Or research a program for the drone to automatically collect samples of nearby things.

It is likely that we're gonna have to deal with material acqusitions first.

The lack of a connection to a motherbound entity and there fore data assets

Order the Drone to sample the soil, going down as deep as reasonably possible for .75 Cycles to be done, THen commit to sampling wild life.

Delay the long range sensors, We don't have materials for that, instead invest the processors to investigating the samples, and develop a refining template for turning the materials we discover into usable resources.

Scan the electromagnetic frequencies of the local area.

It seems we're down to only a couple of options. What we need is a way to acquire resources for expansion.

Order the drone to make a map of the local area, make note of unique geology, outcroppings, mountains, caves, etc.

Do we have any internal weapons that we could use? Any nuclear self destruct, etc...?

Send a broad spectrum electromagnetic signal through our omni-directional antennae, pinging any objects for them to respond.

keep researching the Ground-based harvester and maybe describe it in detail.
