Consider: a situation in which you are the only spokesman for humanity. Great special effects, huge golden chariots, golden trumpets, impressively immense "celestial beings." All the poor folk are groveling on their ground, burying their faces in the dirt in abject terror.
You have five minutes to persuade the wrecking crew that this place should not be wiped, that the locals are sentient, and are worth allowing to continue. No second chances.
