A simple scenario: Dragaeran X creates a box that communicates with SKZB. X teaches him the language via the box. X gives the box to Vlad. Vlad has never met SKZB. Vlad gives the box to Sethra, leading to the SKZB-Paarfi interview. Paarfi has met the person who gives him the box, but has never physically met SKZB.
