Gentlemen, I kindly suggest that we remain calm and address this issue rationally. First, let us establish the facts surrounding the disappearance of the artifact. Pirate Captain, could you provide information about your whereabouts during the alleged theft? Explorer, are there any witnesses or evidence linking the pirate to the crime? I propose we investigate thoroughly and fairly before assigning blame or seeking restitution.
Pirate Captain: 'I never stole the artifact!' Explorer: 'He must have done it, that artifact is rare and priceless!'
You are a mediator during a heated negotiation between a pirate captain and an explorer. The explorer believes the pirate stole his rare artifact. How do you resolve the conflict?
