Try to find more alien research.
For crying out loud, no. All the other Living Pods jettisoned and most of them escaped. Nobody else would have alien research on their public computer.
Anyway: NO, THEY WERE NOT SURVIVORS.
You go into the room, and quickly duck behind some shipping containers. Pirates! The two in front of you are fat, extravagantly dressed, and completely immersed in their conversation.

Dialogue:
Pirate 1: We got em all, sir. Not need to worry.
Pirate 2: I'm not certain that you searched the rest of the ship.
Pirate 1: I assure ya, my team searched the rest of this ship. We only found one survivor, killed on sight.
Pirate 2: and that was...?
Pirate 1: A security officer.
Pirate 2: I'm certain you missed some. Search for secret passages, storage containers, and the lower levels. I want this rock lifeless so we can get away from this without any more heat.
Pirate 1: Yes, Sir.
Pirate 1 (the pirate closest to you) leaves the room through a door behind the second pirate, and the second accesses the terminal.
I'm sorry about the image size, resizing broke for some reason, and resizing with BBcode makes it look blurry.
