Yes, and I agree that it's reasonable to take those precautions. But look at it from our perspective: You stumble across some new world and suddenly they seal it off so you can't leave. It's a bit threatening. Asking for a civil conversation deeper into the heart of this society is an invitation for danger for us; it's like expecting a cornered animal to reason with the captors. I don't want to be presumptuous, so forgive me if I overstep anything, but you probably have a family, right? Maybe not kids or a husband, but there are at least people who love you. You're someone living your day to day life and you're doing your job—I know those who love you would be devastated if you were for some reason captured. Our lives are the same way, because in the end, we're just the same as you. Why not look past the "strangers must be detained" mantra and see the situation for what it really is: we're people who just want to go home too, people who have families and lives to go back to. So from one sapient, living being to another, how about it? We'll be glad to respect your culture and territory immediately, and we just ask that you be willing to see both sides of it, so we can all make a reasoned, informed decision that benefits everyone the most in the end.

We're not an unreasonable people. She did say that all she wants is for us talk, and you can take my word for it that we, as a society, never act irrationally. And right now, she's acting on behalf of their society in speaking to us. So what's a little talk? We'll make it out if we absolutely need to.
