Is the star chamber guiding the pirates to truth or is the truth a separate thing trapped beneath the deck of the ship, stolen away then held there along for the ride? Nobody on dry land can hear it screaming to be rescued from obscurity. One hundred pirates to one is about the ratio. Not a fair voyage for the stowaway. Can a pirate or two ground the ship, let the truth out of confusion to be heard by an advocate on land, and recalibrate the compass before heading off again? Then, though, they’d all have to cease being pirates and just be fair sailors carrying their own truths.
