I completed the enclosure to safely house one of the snailbats. The rest of the team discovered through remote observation that the locals had apparently survived a second ship crash and built this small civilization in the air pocket of the larger, much older ship, using the snailbats as a primary food source. I fell asleep for a while but eventually we also discovered that the snailbats are apparently sentient, including Terry, the one we have managed to rescue so far, and that they're the race which piloted the ancient ship. Terry is also quite the art critic even at his own limited age, as our betazoid has the impression that he has some real opinions on my decorations in his enclosure.
We tried to leave when the ancient ship fired on us, draining the last of its power and shutting down production of both air and additional crew clones. Apparently our mistakes in hacking earlier had worse side effects than we thought. We created a short-term stable hack to keep the only the air going and resolved to come back as soon as we can.
