We can always fight back or stop and talk again, but simply evading for a bit will show us their all important reaction. If they try to talk us down, attack us, mutate and spit acid at us, or just stand there and mock us for running into a dead end and making things easier on them it tell us a lot. Remember the area we are in is listing and probably on fire (or someone may have fallen on the climate control panel), we just don't know... that and we have no clue if these are the attackers or defenders. Also, we may evade into the room with the chest of MC and Ed's stuff in it.
