The Agate went started off with her designation, and her reason for being there. "We've come on somewhat of an invitation on behalf of a Captain Mahoney. He told us so much of this land, so much more then I could ever see from the Lunar outpost! You're all quite polite, really. Besides the guns, perhaps, but still!"
One of the diplomats gestures to an aide and asks him to gather information on this "Captain Mahoney." Once the aide returns with information that proves Mahoney is a valid person, currently the commanding officer of the Illustrious, on assignment in the Asia-Pacific Region. This last fact particularly confounds the Anglians, as it would take at least 5 days to get to London from where Mahoney is currently.
Once all that was sorted out, Lord Quincy-Davis spoke to break the uncomfortable period of silence: "Er, yes. Indeed we are a magnificent nation, and whatever Captain Mahoney said we can most likely confirm. But first, in the spirit of introduction, who are you? How have you come to speak our language? You're from the Moon??"
"Well, I've said my own name: Lace Agate, Facet-3G8L, Cut-3LA. Head of the 2856th Lunar Outpost Brigade, and well, we stay on the moon. We come from extremely further away, but we are quite comfortable sitting and watching from your moon. We deciphered and translated nearly every language we could see and hear on the planet."
