I'm assuming that Chamber went with "Anyone who wasn't picked up by my super-tech biometric scanners on Gargantia is a bad guy." Or, that's what I thought while the credits rolled. I'm assuming that he's passively scanning all the time, given that they're waiting for a response to their distress beacon, info gathering is good form when presented with an unknown location and situation, and he already said he'd been scanning in the first episode when he told Ledo that the air and gravity were good.

Maybe they'll explain it, but leaving it as a demonstration of "Chamber is a very, very powerful and advanced robot" seems like better story-telling. It's beside the point how he did it; the point is establishing that Chamber is an untouchable god of death to Earthlings. Also shock value, but this is Urobuchi and that should go without saying.
