TLDR Summary:

By design the colony black box was supposed to be hidden so well that no one could find it if they didn’t know where it was. The captain ordered all of the power shunted out of the drive and then the homicidal kaiju issued an abandon ship order and placed itself in the lifepod. The black box procedure was simple: Hide the box where it can be easily recovered in case of an evacuation, but still remain connected to the ship. He spent the following two days sitting in a cramped pocket inside the walls of the bridge lifepod, taking apart the colony’s black box. All he had to do now was to wait for the pod to be recovered and see if there was a colony on the next ship. He watched as the ship dislodged the umbilical from the airlock and just as the gas propulsed the connector back to the station he discharged his burst. The momentum carried him to the hull, right next to the vent, where he latched on with the natural magnet, tethering himself to the ship.
