Winging It

Keira licked her lips in anticipation. Hopefully, she thought, her true contact would not think of her as a fraud. She looked at the enormous crowd before her and quickly skimming through her frantic mind, she began to speak. "The information that I hold is my own existance. I am a person whom the Earthling governments trust. Once I land on the planet I will have access to everything from communications to military. I do have my own team who will be joining me down there so everything can be coordinated, but I will need your help."
Keira looked at the gray haired man, and gave him a reassuring look. "I will need someone qualified and knowledgable to come with me so that success will be certain. But, you will have to be smart...very smart. Bluntly, I need a spy." She returned her look to the gray haired man. His expression was of a little shock with a slight smile.
She returned to the crowd for the finale, "Be assured that our race will be undying, strong, and unstopable as long as we hold onto this determination for our lives, future, and children. We will go on, we will survive and we WILL live forever." Keira stepped back and listened to the cheers and whistles of the inspired crowd.
The gray haired man stepped forward. "Let us thank Keira for her heroic efforts and be grateful for her loyalty to to us and our children." He stepped back and brought his arm and pointed to Keira, she smiled meekly, and the crowd applauded shortly. The gray haired man said one more sentence before leaving the sight of the gathered. "Please feel free to go to the lounge, there are cookies and punch."
