Prought continued to yell at Lasper, Val, Kniff, and Yakky. Prought said, "Let me be clear, we could pull out every wall panel looking for that monster, or you can just tell us where it is! Or... we could simply scuttle the ship!" Lasper politely asked, "How do we know that taking the Bollyck is the only thing you want?" Prought said, "Good point. We also want the two Tiths. They helped him escape and will need to face justice." Lasper asked, "How do we know that taking the Bollyck and Val and Audri is the only thing you want?" Prought said, "Oh yeah, and I suppose we could loot the place while we're here. And I guess we'll have to knock you all unconscious for our safety while getting the Tith out of those bindings." Lasper shouted, "How do we know that taking the Bollyck and Val and Audri and our money plus knocking us unconscious is the only thing you want?" Leaning in, Prought said, "Are you not seeing a pattern to this conversation?" Indignant, Lasper said, "I certainly am. That you're pretty untrustworthy."

    I have tried this in real life. And I can tell you that even when it works, using logic on an irrational, emotional and hostile being does not produce the results you want. Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
