If this card is in your scrapyard then, you may return it to your hand. It happens right after a dig puts it into your scrapyard, also a dig your opponent makes you do. Scrapped any other way, it stays there. In the sortie phase it goes into the crossfire first.

While this card is on board, every crew of its controller's opponent has 1 less firepower in every battle of the battle step, not only here. Firepower never goes below 0. An expedition's controller is the player who launched it. Once the expedition is claimed, it works from the logbook for the rest of the game, for the player who claimed it, whoever launched it: "you" is then the claimer (304.5a).
