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.

Aeryn is currently protesting the weapons ban at the firing range and can't be coaxed to leave (but she's not shooting at people, so apparently she's learned something), but she had a kind classmate bring her the homework to finish there.



"My first question is whether there are any cultural differences that would allow me to sneak a weapon in. It would be stupid to walk into a knowingly hostile situation without any sort of defense, though it would help if it could stay hidden in case they're being honest for once.

If all else fails, I'm well-trained in self-defense and they can just try to get past me."
