Wait, I thought if it was class 6 (presumably, sapient/sentient intelligent life) then it would be considered someone to treaty with instead of imprison as a scientific study? Seems like you would end up having a lot of species really pissed with you if you killed their first contact. What a terrible policy!
Why would they have a policy to imprison or kill an accidentally mis-classified Class 6 alien? D:
Class 6 aliens are dangerous, of course! At least, that’s what everyone says…

“No, it would get you imprisoned… or killed.”
“So your race is evil, then?”
That sounds like such a stupid and short-sighted rule to govern first contact, I can’t see why any government would ever implement it.
Unless the plan is: try to sweep everything under the rug and re-attempt “first” contact with the species again? Then its macabre but fitting.
Either way, interesting story so far. I like the character development.
