AIs NEVER take non-aggression as a first treaty unless you're signing it in wartime. To get the AI to accept a treaty propose a Trade treaty, they'll probably agree to that most of the time.
Oh I knew that, I just couldn't see it working for the story. If you think about it, they've just discovered that they aren't alone in the universe and that the aliens are very nearby. Oh and the aliens are 6ft tall agressive dinosaurs. I couldn't see El Presidente asking for a trade agreement before a non-agression pact, it just didn't seem right.

Plus stories are always more exciting when your fighting someone
