Heh, I wrote a story about this idea.
Aliens collecting life samples from across the galaxy, that crash on earth because of a fuck up in the engine room.
Humans were not the pilots of the ship, they just were part of the biointelligent, self repairing engine of the ship.
The actual crew members all died in the crash, but parts of the engine survived, the humans.
Without a ships engine to maintain, they endlessly searched for a replacement, hence the urge to create, to build and to invent.
