Where are the Alterra crew bodies and the Precursor spaceship?

Just think about this. The Aura carried over 100 people between crew and passengers. Some of them scaped in the Lifepods (to get kill later on the planet), but I'm pretty sure that not everyone made it. Not without a Lifepods section less due the Quarentine Enforcer System shot against the Aurora. We can suppose that a lot of people was still in the Aurora when it crashed. The question is... where are they? Their bodies at least. After the explosion whoever survived certainly died, but their bodies must be somewhere. And don't say "they got vaporize with the explosion", 'cause if some papper photographs managed to survive, their bodies had to did it aswell.
And also, we all know at this point who were the Precursors and why were they there. However... they had to get to the planet somehow. Not with portals because they had to be built first. Conclusion: they went with a Spaceship that carried all they needed to build all the facilities on the planet. But where is it? It must be somewhere. They went to the planet... but never made it out alive. There must be a ship somewhere.
What do you think?

As for the Spaceship. I am not sure how long it has been since the Precursors vanished, but possibly they originally touched down at some completely different part of the planet or that once the portal network was up, someone grabbed the spaceship and left because it was needed elsewhere, now that the planet was connected.
Continuing by the last thought, considering the dangerous things they knew they were handling down there, it is possible that the ship was deliberately ordered to leave once there were setup, only to come back with supplies if given an all clear signal. This would make the quarantine even better as even if a alien panicked and wanted to escape, there would be no ship to take them along and as long as the qurantine is active, nothing is landing.
Joking aside, after a crash like that, and given the size of the ship, there should be lots of mangled, possibly half-eaten bodies scattered all over. Realistically depicting that would instantly bump this game's rating up to Mature, and even showing "clean" bodies would likely put it to Teen.
They got eaten by the E-10 rating.
Heh, I didn't even think about that.
I'm punny even when I'm not trying.
How many survivors are there on the Aurora, but trapped due to the current state of the ship? A possible scenario is where the quartermaster is checking inventory, but is trapped in the food storage area. The protagonist can't do anything to help or even know that someone needs help since there is no way to get through all that metal.
I consider this unlikely. If the quantum detonation didn't reduce survivors to a red smear on the bulkheads, the radiation would've been fatal within moments.
They would have had to survive the Precursor gun shot, the reentry and crash landing (but since the ship isn't just a debris field, someone must have pull the ship up to turn it into a hard instead of a destructive landing), the ongoing fires and structural collapse, the detonation blast, some detonation radiation (but that would have been mostly shielded in some spots just due to the shear amount of structure between there and the bow), and ongoing radiation from the damaged reactors. Maybe some in the upper rear of the ship strapped in wear rad suits.
But considering I'm just kitting out the Cyclops and it's already 156 days after the crash according to the PDA, they'd better have had a lot of rations and water to boot.
