If it's broken, replace and set it straight, and go from there hoping that nothing else is broken and the scoring cylinder wall doesnt pose other problems. 2. Replace engine completely.
What would be the best course of action? Please advise. Thank for any help.

You need to explain HOW the engine was run without oil. Did you attempt to do a oil change by yourself and not add enough? Did you leave the drain plug out? What and HOW did the engine lose all its engine oil ?
You're looking for help, but not describing how this happened in the first place. If it was your ignorance, then you're done. It's your fault. If it was something defective from the Factory, then they are at fault. If something broke in the timing chain causing oil loss....its the dealership. Need to know the details.
