I observe [an] opening resembling an airlock in size and structure.

... except that it doesn't seem to lock in much air ... maybe it's rather specialized on locking in "guests"? #AdmiralAckbar

Everyone want to visit mysterious aliens ruin, until you found an alien that lay egg in your mouth, then hatches and the larvae burst out your chest cavity.

The safe assumption is that the residents of the establishment, or their automated systems, have motion sensors everywhere within a kilometer of the entrance to detect uninvited visitors.

Lacking that precaution, the next safest assumption is that they put a full sensor suite around the entrance to ensure nobody can sneak up on them.

Although, if these guys have a wide-open front door, with no attempt at camouflage or any visible locking mechanism, and an unobstructed path directly into the heart of the complex, they are either tragically lacking in operational security to a pathological degree or they intentionally have some greater strategic purpose to let humans and/or other species wander in and inspect their secret underground facility.

TRIVIA
There's no way to communicate faster than light.
If you want to send your message to another solar system, your best bet is to use a courier spaceship. It can take even a month for it to finally reach the destination, but it still beats sending it as a transmission and expecting it to arrive decades or thousands of years later.
