Paratroop
Narrative

400. Fabio Gilles is trying to gather up a group of people in Glencoe for an expedition on the Paratroop, which Fabio Gilles has agreed to lead. The group about to board the Paratroop has decided that, rather than Fabio Gilles naming himself captain outright, the passengers will decide who their captain will be democratically. Fabio Gilles's shipmates have decided that he would make the best captain. As the only person embarking the Paratroop, which will depart Glencoe shortly, Fabio Gilles will naturally serve as its captain; he has never captained a ship before. Capt. Fabio Gilles has boarded the Paratroop from the port of Glencoe, Diomede; he will be embark on this voyage alone. The Paratroop, under command of Capt. Fabio Gilles, has left the harbor at Glencoe, Diomede.
