Prior to making any attempts involving a sentient living being, we would need to acquaint ourselves as fully as possible with the technology; were we to gain access, we would learn all that is possible to discern about the means by which it functions from one point of access.

The issue with such a theoretical endeavour, of course, would be that those in overall control of what is likely a network of numerous facilities would be alerted to our efforts prior to our being able to pursue any such efforts.
