They might kill us to strip our planet of iron and make more berserker drones. They might like us and want to help us out, which to them will involve forcefully assimilating our biomass into theirs ala The Thing. Maybe they'll kill us because we aren't Ajikihh, with Ajikihh being a concept that only they understand. Or it's possible they're not even self-aware, and our constant broadcast of media might appear to be some sort of attack to waste their computing power to decipher, so they're naturally attacking us back.
