Now that I've captured a Scyther, what do I do with it?

You mean downed? Go to the health tab and then on "operation" like you would for a human. If you haven't shot them off, you can harvest its claws. They sell for decent money. Afterwards you can deactivate it. All of that is a repair job.

Would like to calrify the above slightly. If the blades are damaged they are unremovable.

Once they are deactivated or dead, you can disassemble them at a machining table for plasteel, components, and steel.
The only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

Worth a mention- you can attach removed claws to your own colonists for a melee weapon (not tried this for a few alphas, does it still work?)

It works, but keep in mind that melee is all they will be good for, since it destroys their manipulation stat.

Still better than a missing hand.

He's injured but alive, I stuffed him in the hibernation pod, not having any other use for it.

De-claw him and keep him as a pet.

Does declawing remove the charge lance too?  That'd be a nasty pet if it starts shooting up the place.
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.

When a pawn gets downed, it drops its weapon. Charge Lances get destroyed on being dropped. I don't think you have anything to worry about there :)

There doesn't seem to be an option to tame.

What is the relevant skill for a successfull removal?
I thought that would be Construction, as to do the removal you must assign the colonist to repair job, but my two contruction guys (around 16-18 skill) failed three attempts in a row. Am I being unlucky or is Medicine the skill of choice here?

It is indeed Medicine.
