MACRIUM_PE (USB Bootable) And Bitlocker?

TL;DR: How to unlock a drive that has Bitlocker after booting off of a Macrium Reflect USB Drive?

So I asked here when I had a question about using Bitlocker on all of my external USB drives. I finished that up the other day. Now I want to install Bitlocker on my 2 laptops each with 2 bootable drives. Before doing so I wanted to make an image of the 2 drives, 4 partitions. When I booted off of the MACRIUM_PE USB drive I was in fact able to see my external 14TB USB drive that I recently installed Bitlocker on. However I was expecting the Macrium Reflect application to give me the opportunity to unlock the drive in order to make the images and have them reside there. The program would not let me and said to unlock the drive from the control panel. I don't have access to the control panel after booting off of the USB Reflect drive and when I double click on the 14TB drive I don't have the ability to unlock it. I should mention that I am using the free version.

Thoughts appreciated.
