They add Griffie going through a space with various lines, and whenever their body reaches a line it comes out of another line like a portal, leading to Griffie being shredded.

Yeah, that can happen with naked portals. Griffie's lucky it didn't happen when they ended up here. It is another kind of injury, like spikes and rocks and fire.

Videos of humans undergoing that also get put in that category.

A reasonable sorting decision.

They are now going to clear the categories, and instead play videos where things happen that strongly telegraph leading to either one category or the other, but don't actually depict it. Including cases where they show that one of two tunnels lead to it by having people go down them, and then end with someone beginning to go through one tunnel or the other.

After a few examples, can Griffie play this game as well?

Given how blatantly telegraphed and how non-technology-reliant the video examples are: yes, Griffie can play this game.

They now add a video. It has bigger drones with multiple circles of light coming out of them when they move coming to Griffie, and moving Griffie to a strange metal structure floating in space, then being taken inside where there are humans. Which category does this go in?

Griffie looks uncertain and wiggles the video around a bit in an attempt to indicate this.

The sphere tablet screen went black when grabbed, what if Griffie's presence breaks more things for some reason? And as much as they would like to be in an environment where humans can survive without personal life support, they can in fact wait a month if that is necessary for safety.

The screen reverts, depicting scenes like the previous stages, but with two changes. 

1) There are mercurials as well, who are also vulnerable to fire, stabbing, rocks, and naked portals

2) There are arrows pointing to some or all of the individuals, and only those individuals getting injured puts it in the injury category

This classification task is also one which Griffie can handle.

They now give two versions of the final video with Griffie being brought inside for Griffie to sort. One has only a single arrow pointing to Griffie. The other has arrows pointing to the humans and mercurials on the ship.

Griffie guesses that they would be safe inside the big metal structure. The area shown is full of friendly looking people and nothing that would be more hazardous than outer space. Griffie drags the video with an arrow over their head to the non-injurious category.

Griffie is less confident in the humans and the other humanoids being safe. Their life support systems might be made of technology that shuts down when in the Life Bubble effect, like that sphere's glowing glassy tablet maybe did. If that's the case, Griffie could probably stay away from the important systems, but they don't currently know where those systems are.

Griffie wiggles the video with arrows pointing at the humans and the other humanoids around near one circle and then the other in uncertainty.

New game! They show a video that strongly telegraphs that something is going to happen to the people with arrows, then it goes to a sketch of the thing. The person as on fire, the person as stabbed, and so on. Can Griffie play this game when instead of a sketch there is a parchment-like space after the video?

Yes, Griffie can, but if this is going to lead into asking what exactly will happen when Griffie goes inside the humans' and other-humanoids' large metal structure, a new medium isn't going to help as much as the sphere-operators (who are presumably humans and other-humanoids?) might hope.

It does indeed lead to that.

Griffie draws multiple rectangles inside the parchment area. In one rectangle, Griffie is on the ship and nothing bad is happening. The Griffie in this image is smiling. In another, the ship's lights are off, though it's a bit hard to realize at first that that's what the line art depicts. The Griffie in this image is frowning, as are the humans and the other-humanoids. In a third rectangle, the humans are uninjured but frowning, and the other-humanoids appear to be in anaphlytic shock. The Griffie in this image is frowning. In another, Griffie is near a larger sphere-construct like in the video, but it's stopped emitting light and is dented. The Griffie in this image is also frowning.

Griffie considers adding some text indicating uncertainty, but doesn't think the sphere-operators have enough vocabulary for it. Hopefully this will suffice. At least if some of the sphere-operators are humans or know about humans, smiling and frowning should work?

There is a long pause. Eventually, however, there are images of the sketches from the aliens next to photorealistic depictions of the same, then some of Griffie's most recent sketches next to similar images. They seem to have the 'nothing bad is happening', 'lights are off', and 'broken drone'. Next to each of these is the rings with the two words.

The sphere-operators correctly have figured out what those three sketches represent, and Griffie indicates such.

Griffie supposes the allergic reaction depiction wasn't that clear. Maybe if they get another chance they should sketch some more visually clear but less contextually likely signs of medical problems, like vomiting.

They share a video of a human in gravity pushing a rock and it moving away, followed by a video of a human pushing on a drone and its pulsing light beginning to flicker until finally it falls down and emits sparks, then a video of a human pushing on a bigger drone, then getting pushed back by the bigger drone instead.

Then they show a video of Griffie grabbing the drone, and it going black, then flying back to the ship, and a human being next to it for a bit, then it flying back to Griffie and detaching the screen.

Humans are among the sphere-operators! Hypothesis confirmed.

It looks like they were able to repair the sphere-construct. And like the sphere-construct turned the screen off just to say "no grabbing" but it was only a little bit broken. Both of those things seem good. Lastingly damaging the humans' high-value equipment would probably not have been the best starting point. Griffie smiles at the video.

They would now like Griffie to select one of the two rings for a pair of frames. The first frame is Griffie being brought into the ship, the second is the lights off.

The larger constructs are more durable, and it's really pushing or grabbing the small sphere-constructs that's the issue, and they can detect damage before failing and indicate 'stop that'? Very promising.

Griffie looks contemplative in an exaggerated manner, but ultimately selects the ring associated with the glyph-string they believe indicates "no/false/incorrect".

The screen returns to playing the video of Griffie being brought aboard, and then gives a place to sketch again.

Griffie sketches one rectangle where everyone is doing well and smiling, and one rectangle where Griffie is frowning, the humans are frowning, and the other-humanoids are vomiting. It's a little bit overdone and the exact scenario seems unlikely, but hopefully gestures at the "maybe you should offer to let me inside your box capable of supporting human life, but do biosafety checks" message.

The video plays again, but this time Griffie is put in a large glass box with the humans and mercurials on the other side, followed again by a space to sketch.
