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.

Never go in alone. Preferable to have a man (or woman) on the inside. Nothing that a good payoff can't accomplish.

Barring that, have a good third party ready to back you up at a moment's notice. Preferably one that it appears you have no ties to. Then if something happens, it isn't your fault.
