People are animals, apex predators. And we show it real quick when shit gets bad. Food, maybe they don't give a shit about, but you're nuts if you don't think they're worried about communication. Especially in Cadens, where they seem to mostly look for the big, strong types. You think they want a Goro they can't talk to? Goro's most redeeming quality was that he could speak instead of JUST using his strength. I'm just saying, they're more calculated about all of this than you think.
[ When creatures of any kind get confused, they get angry and often violent. Julie can imagine nothing more confusing than being unable to communicate in any way with captors of an entirely different species of being. Drawing humans, or races close to human, is an element of control that the factions are capable of exerting over this grand experiment of theirs. Julie doesn't condone any of it, but she understands parts of it.
Also, this kind of strikes her as some sort of weird, self-hating racism against humans. Does Shepherd want aliens around just for the sake of less humans? For some twisted sense of diversity? It's a fucking weird thing to get a metaphorical wedgie about. ]
