Looks kind of cool. I was pretty much onboard until Sam Fisher (Michael Ironside) is saying "we have a treaty with them and it consists of a cardinal rule... don't engage. You engaged..."

This implies that our government has a delicate intergalactic treaty with a far superior race of aliens that can be undone if anyone shows aggression towards an entity that is actively abducting people?

Like, if a random farmer fires a shotgun into his crops while his cows are being mutilated or if someone tries to defend themselves in their home, all bets are off? Their expectation is that the general public were going to be complicit in this treaty without knowing about it?

That part completely confused me.
