Also, they wouldn't be dead. That's usually a plus. Hooray for living!
Good luck creating a being to control the celestial currents without the foremost expert in an incredibly specialized field. Not to mention he’s probably doing everything to actively mess that plan up to.

Which is a lie, I don't.

There is a difference between "questioning" and "interrogation", and you make it sound like he was planning to torture us.
And he has every right to question us - after all time travel was suddenly involved, a subject that was very outlandish even for the Ancients.
From the “A Past, Not Yet Come to Pass” quest.

Emet-Selch: Yes, this will be far more comfortable than interrogating you on the side of the road.
I chose to use the word interrogation very specifically.
