We want to explore, too. I admit, part of that is because it's in space, as you say. [More than a little bit; if it hadn't been for these two, it would have been an absolutely perfect little trip, in her mind.] But part of that is also because this has to be a pulse. This is... something beyond our world's technology, without question. So we had to find out what it was.

And while I understand you want to explore, and meant no harm, this place is a restricted area, pending our investigation and subsequent determination that it's safe. You don't have the... dubious honor of having another self as a guardian angel. Therefore, it's important to us - to me, especially - to make sure there are no undue hazards up here. Your being here complicates that, because if you're here, either we've completely misread what you are capable of, or else Germany and Austria are going to have a very embarrassed officer corps in short order.
