Rusted Steel: A Mega-Tank Quest

[X] Attempt communication with the civilians. Do not detain them.

I'm gonna go against the flow thus far here.
 
Contain for the safety of the intruders so they don't kill themselves poking our petawatt powered hulk?

Edit: To be clear, if we contain them are we killing them or just preventing movement?
 
[X] Seal the section. Contain the intruders.
- [X] Deploy hyper-virulent, odorless gas, if available.

That should take care of the problem, no? :V

++ Error. Lethal intruder countermeasures offline. Nonlethal intruder countermeasures offline. Security bulkheads remain functional.++​

It sounds like if we seal them in we're assuming they're hostile.

I, for one, do not wish to effectively go rogue just because we're heavily damaged and a bit confused. That is badness.

I think that they actually managed to wake us, so they're fine by me.

No Mark XXXIII Planetary Siege Units? ;_;

Going to go against the bandwagon.

They're out there, the group just elected not to play as one. The Laumer Continental Supremacy Unit is basically a Mark XXXIII, right down to the weapon loadout. The only thing it didn't have was the flight system, because a 32,000 ton vehicle that can fly at 500 kph isn't a tank, it's a ship that just happens to have treads.

If we can't comprehend detaining and communicating, communication will likely fail anyway... It's better to give them the impression that they woke us up, and it's time to leave... Or fix us further to try and communicate with us. Let's hope our AI can classify them as hostiles, then later comprehend that they may actually be friendlies.

If they aren't armed, then they pose no threat

Bulkheads are great for holes we know we have. We don't know how our hull looks right now, they could have crawled into us through a massive hole in the side of our tank. And if they didn't, they're conveniently unarmed, so trapping them inside won't hurt them in the short term (Assuming our concept of time is accurate) and they cannot hurt us. In my head (and maybe only my head) it's a win-win.

We are intimately aware of the status of our parts- I find it extremely unlikely that our thinking we can contain them is baseless.

And given we label them as 'intruders' for detain and 'civilians' for communication, i doubt we can get that kind of best of both world deal.
