Let's leave the drone be and look for fish.
You dive down and start searching for any creatures living in the water you could potentially eat. Unfortunately, there's not much down here. But you do manage to find a colony of small creatures clinging to a wall near one of the machines that bring in fresh water. They're not big and they have hard protective shells. But they're a meal.
You use your claws to tear the small creatures away from the wall and scoop them into your mouth. Then you bring them to the surface, deposit them on the floor besides the pool and use your mouth to crack their shell. It's hard, tiring work. And what's inside the shell doesn't taste very good. It's kinda slimy. But it's enough to fill your stomach to the point where it stops complaining, even though it's still not satisfied.
Lost Status: HungryBy now the droid has started slowly levitating around the room again. It moves from plant to plant, looking at them, perching on them, occasionally poking them and cutting with sharp things. It seems to be completely ignoring you now that you're out of the pool of water.
Now that you've eaten, you're not sure what you should do.
You could keep exploring this place.
You could harvest more of those creatures, either to eat them yourself or to bring home with you.
You could go explore other places.
You could call this a day and go back home.
You could decide that using this place to feed during the night is good enough for now and have time skip forward.
Or you could do something else.
