[Jim's sitting in his suite, wearing his command golds, looking serious as a heart attack. He's leaning forward, one hand braced against the armrest of his chair, the other fiddling with something on the console. Satisfied, he leans back more fully and nods once to the camera.]
Okay, let's get the introductions out of the way first. Name's Jim, Jim Kirk. Captain of the USS Enterprise. I serve in Starfleet in the year 2259 - Starfleet being a space-based armada focused on peaceful exploration and the discovery of new forms of life in the universe.
[There's a slight quirk to his brow, he coughs and then continues with all due charisma,]
I know there's people out there that've been here longer than I have, so I'm asking for your help - and the assistance of anyone willing. We know we're here to fight something, some of you know what and why. While I can understand the reasoning behind keeping that information to allies, I'd like to stress the fact that we're all in this together, regardless of worlds, races or creeds. This isn't something we can or should fight blind. So I'm proposing a broader alliance, a centralized repository of information, and the consideration of a unified front to face whatever's coming.
Additionally, I'm interested in the martial capabilities of the landed foreigners, any contingency plans that have been put in place to deal with the situations we're potentially facing here, and the sorts of scenarios that've been dealt with in the past.
[He exhales a little more sharply than necessary, and then he gives the camera a brief, two-fingered salute.]
Kirk out.
[and edited in after the fact, private to Kyle Rayner.]
We should talk.

Charter magic is... normal magic. Healing people, manipulating the wind, conjuring flame, sealing things away, and many other things. It's what I've been teaching people here.
Necromancy isn't governed by the Charter, and deals with control over Death and the Dead [And the capital letter is almost audible]- both raising them and laying them to rest.
As for being the Abhorsen, it's a title. We- I'm the only person who can use both types of magic, and because of that, my duty is to lay the Dead to rest, and stop necromancers from causing trouble.

That sounds pretty incredible. Any idea how effective it'll be against what we're fighting?

[But he's thinking about it, and... sure, it sounds pretty plausible.]
What can the rest of us do?

And how many magical-- [handwave] people do you have kicking around, exactly?
