[Irongron and Bloodaxe approach a strange, spherical object, while the other men stay back with the horses]
Irongron : A star. A fallen star.
Bloodaxe : Careful, Captain, looks like the devil's work to me.
[a door swings open from the side of the sphere and a silver-suited and -helmeted figure steps out]
Irongron : A warrior? A warrior from the stars!
Irongron : [draws his sword] You've come to challenge me, sky warrior?
[the alien produces a probe-like device. Its tip glows and it emits a high-pitched whirring noise. Irongron's sword is knocked out of his hand in the blink of an eye]
Bloodaxe : Flee for your life, Captain!
Irongron : [steadies Bloodaxe] What creature is this?
Bloodaxe : 'Tis a devil from *Hell*!
[the alien holsters its weapon, then adjusts a device on his hip, making strange electronic noises. It appears to be a translating device as next-]
Linx : Peace. Fear not. I shall not harm you.
Irongron : It speaks. Who are you? Where do you come from?
Linx : I am a Sontaran officer. My name is Linx.
Bloodaxe : I say he's a Saracen. I have heard tales of his Eastern magic.
[Linx steps forward, plants a pole into the earth, and steps back. He salutes with his right arm at his chest and two pennants burst out from the pole in immediate response, white with a circled S in black on each]
Linx : [an eerie Sontaran anthem plays] By virtue of my authority as an officer of the Army Space Corps, I hereby claim this planet, its moons and satellites for the greater glory of the Sontaran Empire.
[Linx then adds his left arm to his chest-salute, completing the ritual annexing the Earth]
