Garry Zollie is trying to gather up a group of people in Moscow for an expedition on the Usurpature, which Garry Zollie has agreed to lead. The group about to board the Usurpature has decided that, rather than Garry Zollie naming himself captain outright, the passengers will decide who their captain will be democratically. Garry Zollie's shipmates have decided that he would make the best captain. As the only person embarking the Usurpature, which will depart Moscow shortly, Garry Zollie will naturally serve as its captain; he has never captained a ship before. Capt.
