Guardian Enzo: fwiw, I think you might be overestimating the seriousness of the situation the girls are in, b/c it's in space.
The way I've been filling in the blanks is roughly: the girls don't think they're in much danger; worst-case scenario they can still call the "space cops" -- or so they think -- and so Marika's logic seems reasonable (if they call the cops future yacht trips might not happen b/c the school would get nervous...so try scaring the bad guys away and call the cops if that doesn't pan out).
Similarly with Kane: he can still call the "space cops" and he knows the Bentenmaru is following the Odette, so he's not too worried either.
TL;DR: this isn't a bunch of girls in a war zone and failing to "get it"; the level of danger and serious of the situation is supposed to be closer to that of a bunch of high school girls on a sports trip to a major city, getting followed by a creepy guy, and coming up with a plan to scare the bad guy off without involving the authorities.
Next episode this could all turn out wrong, though, if things turn into a serious shooting match (and not just some rigged "let's test Marika and see how she does" scenario).
