Advanced Negotiations

Scenario:

You are to attend a diplomatic meeting with a historically hostile party. This party has had a long history of violent confrontation with your people and has a reputation for dishonesty. Yet, the rules of conduct for this mediated meeting are that no one be armed nor display anything that could be construed as aggressive. What do you do? Explain your reasoning.

Let's put it this way. In the thousand-plus generations of the Order, there have been only 20 who have left.

You make a vow to the Order when you become a Padawan learner, and to break it is unthinkable. It's a matter of honor, and taken extremely seriously.

There is no need of anything magical to constrain you. *shrugs* It's taken as given that you will obey.

*frowns*

I suppose this could be considered a weakness in the system, but it hasn't really come up in, well, ten thousand years. It's just the way things are done where I come from.

Yeah, well, where I come from, you get screwed over whenever you trust anyone. Guess they've got you folks brainwashed pretty well. I still wouldn't trust you.
