ABSTRACT
A warning shot will now be fired across the bows of that approaching juggernaut the good ship Lollipop. The good ship Lollipop does not have a captain. It is run by the crew. They are an able crew: some are skilled helmsmen, some are competent engineers, some have considerable expertise with radar, and so on. In fact there is not a skill necessary to running the ship that is not possessed by one or more of the crew. In addition, all of them are sincerely concerned about the welfare of their passengers, and count it as part of their job to get on well with them and to make their trip a pleasant one.
