EDIT: More general question; there is artificial gravity right? It's kind of a normal staple of sci-fi, so I just kind of assumed. And it's kinda necessary for the type of resource extraction technology I imagine Ch'ak using.

As noted previously, a "peace or flight" response is pretty much standard procedure for the Namilee at this point.
If they did not feel immediately threatened by the Xim, they'd probably begin interacting by trying to decipher their language and establish an air of peace. They'd potentially engage in trade, though they may be curious - and cautious - about the Xim's desire to procure samples which would provide them with Namilee DNA. At the very least, they'd want to know the why behind this; but being trusting, there's a fair chance they'd concede, but might ask for similar samples from the Xim.
(After all, why let an awkward and potentially threatening negotiation get in the way of a good experiment?)
But they'd much rather trade information, such as cultural information and scientific learning, especially so they might get an understanding of the Xim's outlook on the galaxy and their technological advancement. Then they'd decide what technologies they're willing to reveal to the Xim, as they'd want to make certain they don't give a race technology too far beyond its present state as that might risk, y'know, more genocide. Again.
I'll talk more about this later. I have to finish an essay.

Assuming they meet on land and not in space? Probably by vanishing via their camouflaging technology and trying to evade them before reevaluating their approach with these creatures.
If the Namilee were able to get the "jump," so to speak, they'd probably appear out of nowhere and make their presence known before trying to demonstrate through gesture they have no harmful intentions. They'd probably try to react in a reciprocal manner to the aliens, assuming the aliens weren't displaying clearly hostile behavior. Again: hostile behavior would probably prompt their retreat.

Damn you kids and your fast typing!
@Hael
I can agree with you on OP and such, but unrealistic is something I do happen to disagree with. While it may not be a perfect universal translator, with one language blueberries is a noun and the other may be a verb, I believe it could be developed in the end. Regardless, you are the GM and I must obey, though there will be some sort of translations system going through my empire to help communications between slaves and their X'Cor masters. Plus body language is a valid thing, little differences here and there, yet all mean just about the same things.
Back to the olden forms of communication to a foreign species I suppose, shoot the shit out of it until it dies
